Nice setup :) What are the new boxes?

I do love a rack full of matching amps :)

Simple 18" bass bins, 15"+ 1.4" Multi-purpose box, the Floor monitors are a 12" + 1" design but the drivers are about to be housed in some new multi-purpose boxes based on the 15"

Right rack drove the 4 monitors and the Left was FOH with the top amp on its own doing the Bass, the Lab was not used

I have always loved the sound of the Yamaha amps. 
 
is that a custom distro?

Produce a killer sound. Take no prisoners.

Got to admit they do sound nice on mids and tops, no idea about the distro but I will ask the question.
 
It is not my rig I just supplied a few bits and pieces and a few drawings.

I love the colour of the desk. That would be a good colour scheme for some small boxes (Tony)

Tony, the painting of the boxes is the part that I hate and have farmed out the work on my last few. 

I can see that small boxes in a nice coloured paint scheme would actually work quite well, food for thought :)

The boxes above were finished, as I suspect 90% of all SP boxes in Aldcroft roller'd on by the owners.

If cabs become problematic, you could indent a section in the middle of the grill and paint that the contrasting colour. Have them black powdered, so that you only have to mask and then paint. Job done.

I would say it is, looks suspiciously like my one minus a few connectors on the front...

Sorry guys, wrong thread for some reason.

I don't admit that it was me who made the mistake. It was the forum software Tongue

Hiya Dom, hope you are well mate.
 
BMS 12S320 bass/mid and 4544 comp on a B&C ME45 Horn Xed at 1.4K  35L box tuned 60 hz,

Owner wants the internals transferred to a multi use box based on the 15" ers, will post the drawings when done. 

He can then use them as a small system on a single 18"

Ah...  I was hoping you had finally designed a rocking coax 12" wedge with one of the BMS drivers...  :(

Ah, already done that but use the Ferrite version not the Neo*, done a Neo version of the 15" co-ax which is pretty impressive for its diminutive size.

Will see if I can find photo's 

* Because of the large horn in front of the cone the Neo's need a lot of processing to sound right, but when done correctly they can sing.

Dom,

Cannot find the 12" but this is the 15", 12" just a bit smaller

That 15+1.4 looks remarkably like the 12+1.4 I did recently. Funny if we both ended up doing almost the same thing independently.

Don't test the champignon sound
