hello all - i was wondering what the price would be to build my own porn horns? I cant find a cheap source in america. I would like to build two to use with about 4-6 hd15s. I will build 6 hds if i can find one amp to power them all, and 4 hds if the porn horn cant keep up with 6. Thanks for the help. ------------- naw man |

one porn horn could easily keep up with 6 hd15s... but if you in the states i would look at other cabs, standard mt121 would do you with a good horn 12" driver ------------- Produce a killer sound. Take no prisoners. |

| surely 1 porn horn would not have the coverage / dispersion to allow just one per side - good to have at least 80 degrees im most venues. |

you would think that Chris but the coverage is quite good... look at the quoted polar plots
if you only need two then they make sense... any more then two cabs and it starts getting expensive and other options become more appealing ------------- Produce a killer sound. Take no prisoners. |

www.proaudioparts.co.uk They are amazing / quality / loud cabs... fully built they are around £1000.. thats the option I would go for if I was going for porns.------------- http://www.freespeakerplans.com" rel="nofollow - www.freespeakerplans.com |

The price of a fully built cab versus components is so small that you'd be a bit silly to think about building unless you you REALLY enjoy the building. By the time you factor in additional parts, paint, grille, etc its looking a very close run thing on price, not to mention time. ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

I would think not, although if the cabs are coming from the same production house as the Stasys 3, I would think the cost of getting it added may be less than doing it for yourself (if they 'could' provide with flyware) ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

No need to fly porns really, I only see them as a one a side mid/top solution. If your rig is bigger than that then you probably want a different cab. Edit: Or multiples thereof! |

getting back on to this as Ive just realized i already own the compression drivers, at a push could you use these two a side, as my other option realistically is an mt12" section which to my eyes has a very similar problem of not having enough length to control dispersion enough to array. any thoughts?

is that in reference to porns or staysis Francis? i last properly looked at the porns in the summer and baught the beyma's other side of Christmas. looking at the polars they really are rather wide coverage but with an added few db and clarity over the mt12" flare and already owning one of the more expensive components to this their seeming like a sensible option when cash can be found for the upgrade. having said that looking at the horn design between the staysis and the porn i cant see a great deal of difference and the staysis definatley array nicley... confusing or am i seeing things in the wrong light? ------------- You're a big man, but you're in bad shape.
