[QUOTE="Steve White, post: 213758, member: 12457"] Couple thoughts........the top box config you show in the picture would be really heavy on top of a tripod stand, if you make it split boxes, mids and highs how are going to lock them together so they don't slide off the top? * It's a split box design. The horns will reside within an SKB 10U blow molded rack for exactly the reason you stated and to make it overall lighter components and easier to handle. * Recessed speaker flanges on top of the low mid cab and under the horns with a piece of sch 40 pvc pin in it. Enclosures locked together using a webbed locking strap ran through the handles and over the top of the horn case, ends connected to recessed hooks on the low mid cabinet. Simple and fast, light weight, store inside the horn case. You mentioned "tighten up the vertical pattern " you don't do that by putting speaker, drivers or tweeters side by side, stacked vertically narrows the vertical pattern and widens the horizontal pattern. * Correct, vertical stacking widens the horizontal pattern. However side by side with baffles splayed out 20 degrees per driver also widens the horizontal pattern. [B]That is the part I would like to change up. [/B] I didn't communicate that well. That's the "from" picture. Thinking a horn loaded design may be best, single 12" or dual 8's. Maybe think of building a single 12 with the horn to put up on the stands. [B]* Yes indeed, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Looking for design ideas or plans or even something that's already out there.[/B] With the XTi amps you could do your processing in the amps and not need the 360. * I prefer to use DSC's - However that's the old me, I just loaded up HiQnet on the workstation and I'll have a look at the processing capabilities within the XTi's. That could be a nice system efficiency. I'll be looking to see if an XTi6002 & XTi1002 can be configured to quad-amp, with alignment and RMS limiting capability. Good suggestion. These guys have some horns, but cutoff is a bit too high for my application. Looking to crossover at 120hz.
