hi there
i am wanting to build a super Efficient sound system for our eco project 'Treadle'.
the idea is to generate pro quality audio converting our 12v dc power most efficiently and effectively into sound [DB].
from what i understand it is possible to achieve a pretty decent sound level [100 db?]and quality. for a capacity of around 100-200 people.
my findings thus far [and bare in mind please i am still very much a newbie to these sound matters]
- active crossover [separating high and low frequencies pre-amplification]
- 4 x mono block Class D/T amps @around 20watts/channel [subs R/L - Tops R/L]
- 2 x highly efficient tops + 2 x hightly efficient Subs
[previously i was posting on the billfitzmaurice site and looking at the DR250's and Titan 39's]
we will play electronica and Bass sounds, as well as live instrumentation from time to time.
now b4 i went ahead and purchased the designs for the cabs i wanted to ask some knowaglbe folk about their opinion on both bills speakers and my set up ideas?
COMPROMISE & CONTEMPLATIONS
- BUILD - more sophisticated - over simplicity [active crossover-time-complexity]
- SIZE - Efficiency - rather than smallness
- SOUND - Subs & Tops - Over all in One
- COST - more efficient cabs [bigger builds] do not seem to be considerably more expensive.
we dont have tons of cash, we like to give new life to dis-guarded objects
generate our own power and recycle.
but we do have time [not a wkend build] and construction skills.
any import would be very much appreciated
thx
