[QUOTE="Dave Pluke, post: 141806, member: 9878"] Re: Another "WHAT SHOULD I GET/BUILD" THREAD It isn't a matter of "getting by" - it's a matter of "cleaning up". Get rid of your FH1's. They aren't helping you. And I have not. Rhetorical question for you: How many 5-way Concert rigs have you seen? Please take my comments as constructive criticism, as they're intended. IMHO, if you want to "push more air" in the situations you've described, get more front-loaded subs. I haven't heard Art's 2x12 cabs, but the concept is appealing. Looks like the Eminence LAB12 can easily run to about 180Hz and could go higher, with a little EQ'ing. Maybe the Keystone subs would perform equally well - perhaps Art can speak to that. Again, keep your SP3's, as long as they've served you well. After all, they are [I]"an homage"[/I] to a well established 3-way design. If running passively, your existing crossover points are at 650Hz & 2.1kHz. Try actively crossing over between the 15" and the mid/high section. Might add the punch and clarity you're seeking. I think if you'd do this (3-way active system via quality DSP, with the mid-to-high passive), you could keep your subs down where they belong (<120Hz). Dave [/QUOTE]
