thylantyr... I second the musical selection //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Line arrays do many things right. I am a big fan of them. I have a case of 60 3" Peerless full range drivers collecting dust in the warehouse for the day I find some time to cut a bunch of little holes in some MDF. I used the other case I had for a set of 8 foot line arrays in my old LA warehouse. Really surprising at how much bottom end they actually had... then you do the math and realise that the cone area is equivalent to an 15" sub.

Good work...

My ported NSB's {49 cent drivers} knock stuff off the shelves. I was surprised

that an array of cheap drivers can sound sweet if you pay attention do the

details of the whole design. Most people dismiss the extra steps because they

assume the drivers aren't worth but it helps alot. Build a quality box as you

would if the drivers were expensive and you see the rewards of less box/sound

coloration. etc.

Cheap array = army of african ants {take down an elephant, lol }

One idea is to make a stackable array where you make small cabinet sections and stack them

as needed.

Look at the Dali Megaline array as an example;

See the three modular stacks?

You make one line array box for each channel, later as you feel the upgrade

itch, you stack another set on top, etc.

This gives you good sound now, can be upgraded as you evolve in audio,

and the modular design allows easy transport when you move.

Make some guide pin holes so the boxes don't move and fall on someone

causing death - lol
