[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 7532, member: 1285"] So, I've got a few dual 18 reflex cabs that take up too much space compared to what they are capable of. I'm thinking I could maybe rip them apart and build some boxes using four elements in each box, preferrably using the existing boxes (60x60x120cm, 2x2x4ft) The elements, Eminence Omega Pro 18A have very little excursion available with an x-max around 5mm, so I'm thinking that I need to restrict excursion by providing resistance by doing some kind of 4th or 6th order configuration with small rear volume and at the same time effectively doubling low frequency capacity by compensating for lack of excursion by doubling the number of elements. Am I totally insane in attempting something like this? Are there any designs out there that would fit? I have seen a few pro boxes that packs a lot of drivers into a small box, so there is obviously some merit to the notion, but I suspect all these are based on elements with far superiour xmax.
