[QUOTE="Helge A. Bentsen, post: 214529, member: 263"] I'm not sure truck pack is that important here. Don't get me wrong, if you're bringing 16 boxes to a gig, it's important :) But I see a speaker like this more aimed at gigs where you bring 4x 2x18", two mains and a pair of front fills. IME this kind of gigs is currently served with groundstacking 3-4 line source elements. They're easier to handle on their own, but you spend a bit of time rigging them. Flying them takes even more time. If one could make a box that's manageable for two persons to lift on top of a pair of dual 18" you save a lot of setup time. I always wanted EAW to make a road version of QX5, I've done a couple of gigs with that ground stacked, it's a killer solution in terms of audio quality and SPL, but it's an install box so no handles, need to make some kind of cradle for it etc. Not very practical. I could be wrong, truck pack is too important and that there is no marked for a box like that. On the other hand, I did a multi location gig for a production company before everything was shut down. For one of the stages they brought out their old rig, 2xKF750 over 2xSB750 a side. In about the same time as three persons could level out and erect a pair of small towers to fly 4 line source elements, we had gotten the PA in place and had started laying down speaker cables.
