[QUOTE="Evan Kirkendall, post: 90784, member: 5"] Re: "Best" wedge(monitor) This is a very true statement. :lol: I sure don't sugarcoat anything. The SRX still seems to be the front runner "bang for the buck," with a few other options close behind. DIY is a VERY possible option. Hell, half of my "A" rig is DIY. I've looked into the 12" coax wedge on these forums. Maybe I haven't heard a "proper" coax wedge, but I've never been impressed with the designs I've heard. Something about a coax wedge just doesn't scream LOUD to me. It says "pretty" and "nice sounding." That 1.5/2" & 12" wedge combo never fails to rip my face off. I'm not concerned about SQ as much as I am pure SPL and stability at max SPL.
