[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 100556, member: 30"] Re: Danley SM 80 vs SM 60F? I have not done a lot of listening to the two different boxes-as they are intended for different applications and not a A or B type thing. The composite case is not your average "plastic box". It is a VERY tough material-they make truck hoods-guardrails and such out of them. There are also a lot of "bends" and such in it-that add strength (like bending metal). The whole cabinet is built such that the baffle is a 3/4" thick heavy duty composite material that is tied to the fly points on the sides and rear of the cabinet. Then the horn (which weighs 11lbs by itself and is very strong) is then also bolted to this baffle-which ties the whole cabinet together. The construction is such that you could rip away the entire outer shell and the cabinet would still fly just fine. The xover-driver and horn all mounted to the center baffle-so the cabinet is "along for the ride". The U bracket in anchored directly to this baffle-so the cabinet is not taking an weight. The reason for the lower sensitivity is we use a slightly different coax driver. It is the ceramic version (the SM80 uses the neo version). The HF driver in the ceramic version has a slighty lower output up high-so it is not as "bright" as the SM80. The crossover is the same. This driver was choosen so the OS 80 would meet a price point-as it is less expensive-but the performance differences are so minimal that in most cases it doesn't matter. The way we demo the OS80 is we have a bracket (I forget who makes it) that has a pole cup attached to a piece of square tube-which we mount to the U bracket. So yes-it is easy to pole mount the OS 80. [/QUOTE]
