[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 137639, member: 388"] Re: New DIY Mid High Hey Peter Once again, fantastic work. You have really done a great service to the community. Personally I find these types of projects to be fascinating opportunities to learn and experiment. The results are not always as desired, but the knowledge collected is worthwhile. In this case it seems like you have put together an amazingly powerful cabinet if a capable double 18 sub cannot keep up. Although as Ivan points out, subs need significantly more output. But still, a home built top that outruns a capable sub and sounds good doing it is pretty impressive. Given the design I assumed that coherence would be good since there are minimal time arrival conflicts across the band and the summing that does occur in the crossover region is entirely constructive. This is something I mentioned earlier about the TW Audio T24N, since its sums so well, the tonal balance remains consistent even out to a fair distance. This makes the cabinet even more useful since fills are not necessary to restore intelligibility. So count me in as a very interested potential builder. Ciao Simon [/QUOTE]
