[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8728953, member: 591582"] I would use 1 big horn tweeter of some sort in all 4 directions (4 big tweeters) and maybe use some 6.5 or 8 midranges that’ll play as low as you really want them to, and stick as many of them on each side as you can. You may either want to buy marine type stuff or buy cheaper stuff that’s easier to replace, just depends on how you want to do it. You could make a 1 foot tall box that’s 3.5 feet by 3.5 feet or so and just pack it all in there. I’d definitely make it a tightly sealed box. There’s horn tweet designs that are specifically for wide angle dispersion, since going higher in frequency narrows the angle of dispersion from the linear direction of propagation. My Klispch towers have a titanium tweeter inside a 5.25” or so horn shell that helps the sound cover a 70 degree angle, vs a regular tweeter that’s much narrower. Iirc it’s something like 15 degrees or so of angle from direction of propagation with a standard dome like tweeter, but don’t quote me on that. So if you could get 4 horn tweets that do 70 degrees of sound, that would be 280 out of 360 degrees covered, which would be pretty good, IMO. [/QUOTE]
