[QUOTE="Tim Weaver, post: 47726, member: 317"] Re: Ideas for future DIY speaker projects I am with you. That's why my suggestions were a bit open-ended as to what type of cabinet (whether 2 or 3 way, horns, front load whatever). I'm looking for easy one-man operation and high SPL from the [i]system[/i] whether the system be a single cab per side up to 3-4 per side. One thing I would like to see is an easy to make phase-plugged mid horn. I have an idea on the construction method if anyone is interested but I don't know enough about horn design to calculate the horn itself. If we could get from 300-400 up to 4k or over we would have something. The entire vocal "intelligibilty" band on one driver with no crossover. I think that would be pretty serious. As far as vertical array goes, I'm guessing that is out the window. Honestly, the only thing I think we could do as diy'ers competitively would be some type of all in one box system like the SLS LS8695. And to bring it down to my market a little more, I'd like to build a bose L1 killer but even that may not be cost effective. A real 21" sub appeals to me as well. In fact I have a pair of 18sound 21LW1400's that I picked up for a song that are waiting for the right cabinet.
