nice to see someone build something off the beaten path! How about handles on the wbins? They look like they're a bunch of heavy f*ckers! EDIT: Germany?  EDIT 2: which drivers are going in?  |

How high are you going to run the wbin? I guess you chose it to avoid seperate kick bins?  |

This plan has a similar layout:

not from germany, belgium :p we have a handle bar at the top of the wbins and we will add weels so we don't have to lift them as much. They weigh +-60 kgs without the speakers. the drivers we are using are: eminence delta 15lfa for wbin eminence Kapa 12 mid jbl compression driver highs How high are you going to run the wbin? I guess you chose it to avoid seperate kick bins? probably like the last picture, me might build some extra kickbins in the future, but for now this is how we want to run it. you think stacking 2 wbins like this would raise the 2nd one up too high? still learning what the best positioning is for these |

I was talking about the crossover frequency between the cabs  Nice and simple little sound! What style of music will you play? |

Hmmmm, I wonder if the cab could be redesigned for PPSL loading  but maybe the front chamber would become too big.....

Sounds good. It will probably fit that style of music well! Have you tested the wbins yet? |

| checked a bit further and the dimensions listed above are the same as ours (not 100% sure about horn), we just left the back corners on our cabinet. |

I have no experience of these wbins, but I suppose a short front loaded horn like this should kick well enough (but yes, that's only a guess). On Dancetech a lower cutoof of 55 Hz was mentioned, so it would probably be lacking in the subbass department if anywhere. That would be a problem with roots and dub, but probably works fine with techno If the stack is not high enough, you could rotate the upper wbin 90 degrees to get the midtop higher. Or maybe even rotate both wbins if you need to get a lot higher! Don't forget to use a ratchet strap though to fix the stack..... |

thanks for the info man, what we need now is a crossover + eq or a processor (and yes the rest of the paint needs to be done) and we are running. amps are qsc gx5 for the top and gx7 for the bass cabs
