[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4894291, member: 594758"] You could go as low as 500 if you don't crank them up. 630 or 1 khz will let you turn them up much louder. It's the lows that will limit how loud they can get before they distort. Lows will damage them quickly. The human voice is mostly from 3,500 Hz down to about 100 hz (above 3,500 is mostly siblance and subtle accents), so there is no way that horns alone can play all of the vocal range. Without a woofer under those horns voices will sound thin, tinny and weak with an ear pearcing high frequency shrillness to them. If you slapped a cheap 10" woofer in a simple box under each horn then it would sound much better, and you would be much happier. [/QUOTE]
