[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 215544, member: 52"] Tom, Stereo four-way will require a minimum of 8 channels of amplification, with a budget of 1500/1600 euros if you want decent amplification and new (lightweight Class D with 3 year warranty) Behringer could fit the budget, depending on the sensitivity of the subwoofers you choose to build. Each TMS-3 can put out in the 130 dB+ range to 55Hz, providing that level to 25 requires a lot of cabinet space, and power. The size of drivers in a sub is of little concern, the size/volume of the cabinets, and displacement potential of the drivers are. Hoffman's Iron Law rules: Loud, Low, Small- pick two, or pay an extreme price premium. Budget determines how low and loud the system can be, and you will pay a LOT more (in size or cost) for each 1/3 octave LF extension. The 10" mids in the TMS-3 go up to 3700 Hz, so the entire cabinet should be raised above head level to cover any venue without tearing the heads off those near, so you will want a tall stack of subs unless you plan to use road cases or scaffold to stack on. What are you planning to spend on sub drivers and construction materials? Art [/QUOTE]
