Mid top design to suit JBL 2206

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've got a couple of 2206 drivers about me that I was thinking of using in a couple of compact mid tops to stick above subs on poles. Are there any designs that spring to mind with this driver? I had some IK triple12 cabs a while ago loaded with these drivers and they dropped quite low on their own however these are now long gone except for a couple of cones. If I remember rightly the boxes were tuned to 50hz with 2 4" ports so I could just rebuild a single box with a CD above however thats a bit boring and simple! 

I could use WinISD, I know but surely there's already a tried and tested design about to suit these excellent drivers?

Any help would be great,

Cheers!

	Ik also did a 1 x 12 cab with a 1" baby's bum horn, wonderful cab with enough low end to do smaller gig's on their own and sounded sweet too the only downside was the horn protruded the cab and was more than a bit delicate for road use but with a flat front horn it would be quite a formidable cab. http://forum.speakerplans.com/wanted_topic16036.html

	Ive seen these cabs before and it did cross my mind, I think RichGale had on for sale at some point. If I could work out the volume of a single chamber from an IK tripple 12" and some how work out the dims for a trap cab with a 1" bms comp or similar then ill get the wood out!
