[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 91752, member: 1285"] Re: Subs, what to do if you lack excursion? Been thinking about that quite often, there seems to be a lot of fairly useful 8", 10" and 12" drivers for handling that bottom octave. I guess the problem isn't getting down, but getting loud enough to be useful in anything but the smallest venues. If one needs 100KW to get to thunderous levels, and 200 drivers to handle the power, then obviously that is not an option, and even handling 10KW would require a fair amount of drivers, but certainly well within the realm of reasonable and practical. So what would one do, stack up with boxes of 12s and toss the 18s, or let the 18s do what they do best and just let the 12s handle the bottom? BTW, haven't done the conversion yet, I'll probably go the easy way with a single rear chamber and a single rectangular close to square port, and see how that works out. [/QUOTE]
