 That looks like a really nice, portable system. What size rooms/numbers can this handle at decent levels? What type of amplification does it need? Does anyone build these to order and if so, how much would a pair of each cost? |

I have used the F208/ F212B combo above for a few months now( in fact that actual pair in the photo ) and they are awesome for small to medium DJ use for parties and weddings. I would say up to 200 people at a wedding or party, but reducing to 150 for heavy stuff like dubstep.
I use one of Tony's dB Mark 24 mk 2 processors as well as a Minidrive, and one of Andy's XT 6004EQ 4 channel amps. It handles the power with ease and just seems to get louder and louder without distortion as far up as I need to go. Never had to go above half power yet, as it just too bloody loud. Sound quality is fabulous, with female vocal being superb, and bass is just mind-blowing for such a small system. There is a photo of my Xmas set-up on Tony's new website at forte.audio.eu in the blog column I believe. |

Hi Tony,
Yes, still love the speakers and, more to the point, the punters really do too. Not heard anyone dislike the sound yet !! Hi Edd Jordan, Yes, a link-up will be fine, thanks for offering. 4 subs together, and 2 pairs of satellites would be an interesting combo ! Are your bins neodym, and the tops ferrite drivers ? Mine are. |

Joined to find a compact ported design to build for a bass guitar- this looks like what I envisaged, 1 x 15 or 2 x 15 I was thinking. Any advice would be very gratefully received.
Thanks Mike

Hi Mike,
I have not used it 'live' yet, nor with a bass guitar. However the 2x12's produce a phenomenal amount of bass on recorded music up to 200hz. The combo with 2x8 tops that I use give an excellent overall sound. However, for bass guitar you may need something a bit different. Tony Wikes will be able to guide you far better than I, as he is the designer/builder of these cabs. |

tony, in your research for drivers that work in a small sub application, what others did you test? your current choice is quite hard to find in the usa but the box and its intended use is right up the alley i need. other drivers that might work in a small sub?
