[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 215524, member: 52"] Tom, The TSE 118 starts dropping off at 70Hz, -24dB at 40 Hz, less LF than the TMS-3. The F118 drops off below 55 Hz, no better than the LF below the TMS-3, which drops off at 50Hz. Front loaded (FLH) and Tapped horns (TH) designs with low corners in the 25-35 Hz range would be much more appropriate, unless you are primarily going to be playing music from the pre-digital era the TMS-3 was designed in (pre-1980). 700-1000w bass drivers also are kind of last century also, drivers with around double the power handling and excursion (there is no replacement for displacement..) are available, B&C has a good range of the best that work well in a variety of designs. Do you have a maximum size restriction and a desired frequency range for the subs you plan to build? Do you have DSP, or plan to use amps with DSP built in? Planning on stereo or mono? Art [/QUOTE]
