[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 47730, member: 46"] Re: Ideas for future DIY speaker projects I mulled around a box idea that used 3 line array waveguides with BMS4552ND HF and 4 front loaded 12" LF/MF drivers in what would effectively be a vertically arrayable box that would get very loud as a single (drivers arranged similar to the EAW JFL210 style, but a much larger cabinet). Essentially something that as a single box could keep up with 2 or 3 of the VRX/JFL/KLA/etc vertical array on stick boxes. But when I figured out my cost of materials on it, it was about $1900 per box, not including processing and power (or labor!). And if I wanted to go to beefier HF drivers (like B&C WGX800) that could cross over lower (more ideal considering the driver arrangment), put that around $2600 per box. Ya, I think if I did it, it'd get pretty loud and could probably sound pretty good. But am I willing to spend enough cash and put in the time to do it? Not at this point in time, unless Dave and Rich would feel like making me some FIR presets for it..... ;) [/QUOTE]
