Hello to all!

I would like some advice on the right choices ...

I currently have 2x 1850 folded hord

2x hd15 horn

I took the plans and built these speakers a tight squeeze ..

For hd I'm going to put the pd 154 ...

For 1850 I would opt for the P.Audio 18w2000

http://www.eighteensound.com/index.aspx?mainMenu=view_product_simple&pid=306

Among my amps I also 2x peavey CS4000 ...

I thought maybe I could use their 4kw @ 4ohm to greatly increase the W cones ...

I thought then to build 2x es18bph with P.Audio SD18 1700n ...

My concern is to build a balanced sound ..

How could I combine these speakers?

Should I build two more in 1850?

I should make two 186 horn?

Build 15 other hd??

Or build these es18bph with cones 1700w?

Looking at the list of compatible cones I saw that there are also

18NLW9600 who 1800w!

Although in reality as frequencies are not particularly suited as the P.Audio

http://forum.speakerplans.com/drivers-for-1850-186_topic68912.html

So ... how should I proceed with the construction of my sound?

Thank you all!

If you already have 1805s then build two more. Don't get bogged down with all the choice out there, just stick with what you have.

+1. Stick with the 1850s. Don't mismatch several different types of bass bins.

+1..and also keep either HDs or ES18, preferably HDs as more punchy in my opinion

thanks to everyone for the feedback!

For 1850 so I should put P.Audio 18w2000 or 18NLW9600?

How can I make the most of peavey CS4000?
