[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 3974575, member: 560358"] I have 288 NSB's in storage for a rainy day. lol The NSB project looks good. I'd prefer to see a tweeter array longer, but that adds to the cost. You should get a high pass filter to keep cone excursion low which raises the power handling. Those are 5 watt drivers, low excursion. When you do your listening tests, monitor the cone excursion to make sure it's not going crazy. A Behringer DCX2496 would probably get you more performance, it has 8th order slopes, great for high passing the NSB's and also great for those small dome tweeters. Those tweeter can give you more with a steep crossover slope. You can take that crossover in the 2.5khz range, down from 4.5khz. Your stereo image will improve alot. DCX has delays. Add a 15mS delay to one channel and you have a small concert hall effect. Feed the beast some generous power and the dyanmics open up a lot. My NSB array has been running off two bridged PLX3402's for a few years now, and the tweeter array has two more PLX's. I'm surprised that I have not blown any drivers yet and I crank the hell out of the system where the amps are clipping. My NSB SPL score is > 126dB[c] in room, 12 feet away. The Radio Shack meter is maxed out, lol. Midrange frequencies are 122dB[c]. This is pretty neat for 4" Pioneer 5 watt TV speakers that cost 49 cents. Imagine what you can do with better drivers? hehe This only proves one thing. The line array effect, if exploited properly, just owns, akin to an army of ants taking down the big elephant. [/QUOTE]
