The Line Array Thread

I would put the tweet in the middle...

A tall tower would be the best, although I've seen Voight pipes that are triangular...triangles = strong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Go heavy on the internal bracing, like it was mentioned before.

A triangle would be stylish, and I'd assume that would reduce the probability of standing waves.

*edit* 6'6? shit, you're taller than me. that's unusual.

I have a collection of pics from cyber on various line array designs, some are

great some are basic, some are one tweeter. You can look at these pics to

get a better idea of what you want.

So.. what do you want from the loudspeaker?

* Budget?

* Why line array ?

* SQ desired?

* SPL desired ?

* Do you have a subwoofer?

* What front end electronics do you have?

* What amps do you have?

* If NSB's order extra so you can do some SQ mods.

etc.

this is what i was thinking for the plan. this is really as big as i want it, but it only gives me 2.7ish cubic feet and its 6.5 feet tall waht could i do with that much volume? seal it? i will have a sub eventually, but i dont want it to be whimpy either

Seal it. You will enjoy it I'm sure. You won't miss the really low end for now while playing with it. Just don't expect your favorite bass songs to impress you on them Then down the road when you do get a sub you will love them that much more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My speakers and crossover were ordered just 5 minutes ago BTW. I went with 32 4" and 24 of these tweets http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=275-030 then 2 Dayton 2-way crossovers (4500).

i can vouch for those tweeters, but you should have made your own crossover. the more you want to get out of a project, the more you need to do it yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if you want suggestions, PM me.

the other reason why u need your own crossover is because those tweeters need attenuation, they are kinda shrill.

I'd rather go with a single good ribbon than twenty four seperate tweets...

was worried that this many mids would still drown out the single ribbon. Right now the emphasis is being placed on efficiency, then we shall go from there with other expeiriments. I do plan on attenuating them at a later date with better crossovers and getting an EQ down the line. Right now I just want to get the project off the ground and go from there. I am sure many changes will be made before I am happy with them.

Right now I am eliminating complexity out of the build to get it done. Alterations and tuning can be done later. No offense but you would be the last person I PM for advice in this build.
