[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 148297, member: 652"] Re: Double 10 and Horn Hi Boyd, The double 10 was originally designed as a Mid / Hi box that could go low enough to be used as a vocal PA. The original version crossed to the Horn at 1.2 KHz and was switch-able passive / active. The next version still used a “normal” compression driver but crossed at 900Hz. This was a big improvement. Once you get pass about 800Hz you will start to have issues with how the 2 x 10” drivers interact with each other. The trick was to find a suitable horn flare, which I did, the RCF 950. The current version uses the BMS 4594 and crosses to the 10’s at 630Hz. This is even better. If you want to build something like this I would suggest selecting some 10” drivers that will go lower and give you more bass than what I have used. Select a suitable sized box and tune it as needed. Use the RCF 950 horn with a suitable 1.4” compression driver …. Then the tricky bit … creating some DSP settings :-) [/QUOTE]
