So you're saying that you could cross from a 12" straight into piezos? (e.g. B&C 12ps32) at about 2k. (presumably they go a bit lower in banks of say 10)
 
Yes you would be surprised at how good it can sound with the right EQ settings. Its not going to be as good as something that costs 10 times the price but you get what you pay for

Though those square piezos only go down to 3.5khz. The larger bullet type square ones go down to 1.8khz.
 
Thats what the spec sheet says, measure one and its not the case - 2.5kHz or 2kHz with the melded array I posted earlier.

All you need to know is:
Sensitivity + Power Handling - Power Compression = Max Output

99db sensitivity, dual element piezo. There other single element one only goes to 94db.

Interesting read that Stu.

Well I think from the view that you cant get them anymore I wouldnt bother since you cant get a replacement should they blow
 
I have got 4 powerline screw on drivers left as spares but I wont need them soon. I have seen them going for £40 each!
