| get some of those old altec cinema style multicell horns to go on the top, that would look amazing! Heard some this weekend for the first time and they sound awesome too. |

| Don;t want to p-ss on your chips but Fane XB drivers in the Mk3 basshorns just do not work very well and if you drive them reasonably hard then the cones will self destruct after a very short time---The XB is designed to be used in a direct radiating ported cabinet not in a tightly loaded horn firing through a letterbox---Hence why the cones disintegrate. |

Looks lovely Tintek,and the mk11's look in great condition.but have to agree with John above,the Fane XB's arnt ideally suited to those mk11's,please think hard before you load the other 4 cabs with them,money might be better spent on something more suitable. ------------- Be seeing you. |

I tried 154 in them for easy availability and big motorness, but somebody said 1550 is better. I would like to hear them myself first, though.

| and from from Robbo says it seems like those Fane drivers won't be suitable for our folded horns |
Posted By: Robbo
Date Posted: 03 August 2011 at 10:01am
| Fane 15B is a good driver for horn loading on a budget but the 15XB is not suitable as it is designed for vented direct radiating designs. |

the fanes have done a job that needed doing otherwise i wouldnt have had any of it out yet. youre right though mat it has been too long. doing it all by myself though with no other funding apart from my day job was bound to take some time. when its done it will destroy buildings. mark my words. ------------- Invading an electrical system you have no clue about, seperating the conductors of a ring while you find your Screwfix screwdriver, wiring in something "your mate made", I fail to see the problem here |

the fanes wernt overly bad but to be honest i never really turned it up properly. Ive been busy saving for RCF L15/554K to load the bass. not long now. in the process of putting together 2 amp racks (one per stack) and a processing rack. all ready just needs me to wire it up the whole project is taking forever though  doesnt help the rig is stored in oxford!!! so if anyone has any storage space in london PLEASE let me know.------------- Invading an electrical system you have no clue about, seperating the conductors of a ring while you find your Screwfix screwdriver, wiring in something "your mate made", I fail to see the problem here |

Me, keeping myself ammused while James Ind. Street, sound tested some of his system. Two stacks as pictured. Twas an intimate mini-festy in south of France, 2006-7 I think....  |

Still on the hunt for JBLs so sticking with beyma CP800TIs at the moment. I quite like them. Just a quick question, how have you wired your 215s, in parallel or series? Ive been playing with the idea to wire my cabs in series (theyre parallel at the mo) Each cab PD154 loaded (wired in series) would be 16r so a stack of 3 cabs linked (in parallel) the amp would see 4r and 4 cabs linked 2r etc. This could make more use of what power i have available from my C-Audios What do you think? ------------- Invading an electrical system you have no clue about, seperating the conductors of a ring while you find your Screwfix screwdriver, wiring in something "your mate made", I fail to see the problem here |

Why didnt you buy John's (robbo) martin HF2's? they would have been ideal for your system. Some of my 215's are in parellel,others i have wired each driver individual,so each driver has its own input socket....gives you the option of either running them as 2x 8 ohm loads,or with a simple jumper lead,a 4ohm cabinet. ------------- Be seeing you. |

I wanted to but just a bit too far away for me to be travelling. they were up for 350 but it would cost another 100 in petrol to collect. for that money i could buy another beyma and some bullets. I was thinking of wiring each driver individualy after speaking with alex in warwick but dont really want to chop up the rear access panels too much. have you got any pics of your access panels with the individual set up? ------------- Invading an electrical system you have no clue about, seperating the conductors of a ring while you find your Screwfix screwdriver, wiring in something "your mate made", I fail to see the problem here |

why not just wire driver 1 to pins 1+ and 1- and driver 2 to pins 2+ and 2-. You'd need four core cable but it makes the system more versatile.
