reloading some speaker cabinets

[IamDeMan 5,000+ posts]

I modeled 16 of these in WinISD as ported enclosures and realize that adding PRs won't really do much for them and probbly just introduce more anamolies. I think I am going to order these parts and try my hand at a line array cabinet.

(2X) DAYTON XO2W-4.5K 2-WAY CROSSOVER 4,500 $39.90

(8X) HI-VI TN25 FABRIC DOME TWEETER $64.80

(32X) 4" EXTENDED RANGE DRIVER $15.68

Subtotal: $120.38

16X 4" and 4X tweeters per cabinet. Seems like a good price for an experiment.

Yeah, most of the line arrays I've seen don't have a built in subwoofer.

As for the tweeters, I've seen it done with the tweets in the middle or top, depending on how tall the stack was.

Well I think what I am going to do is go with 4X tweeters mounted in between every group of 4 midrange drivers in their own series paralell config. Do you think that is overkill and one ribbon would be sufficient? If using one then should I not bother with 2 way crossover and just do a high pass on the tweeter and let the 4" do a full range?

in ur situation, it might be different, but i used that same tweeter in my boy's bookshelves...they don't need alot of power! they are bright, not harsh by any means, but in my case, they could have (and will one day) been attenuated a bit.

as far as clarity goes, they are awesome. like i said, they are bright without being harsh. a really good tweeter for the price.

btw, i did jsut a typical ported bookshelf, nothing fancy, TM in .66ft^3 tuned to ~40hz...
