In Reply to: ? 4 Bill about recent AX horn monitor article posted by Sean on August 28, 2005 at 11:28:08:
The chart is with the Eminence driver. I've had reports that the Dayton 6 PA driver works well in it. I don't know what it will deliver, ask Leland at my forum, he's got four of them. I chose 100 Hz to get maximum output where you need it for vocals, going to 80 isn't of much worth, if you need to go lower for bass instruments you need to go to 60, which I did with the ten loaded Wedgehorn 10. There are no impedance issues with only 4 piezos parallel wired, but you can go series/parallel to pad them by 6dB if they're too hot for your taste. The Eminence I recommend for pro rentals where overpowering/abuse can be expected. Pyle has taken on the distribution of the CTS piezos, so you can still get them.

Thanks for the timely response and all the info, especially about the CTS piezos. If you would be so kind, could you point me to the forum that you spoke of? I don't frequent this part of the Asylum often and know not of what you speak. I'm kinda interested in the Wedgehorn 10, depending on cost vs performance as compared to the "baby" 6" version. Sean
>PS... 60 Hz in a vented cabinet is not deep enough to do bass with authority either, but then again, these are monitors and not mains : )
My forum is at http://www.audioroundtable.com/BillFitzmaurice/
60 Hz isn't all that low as far as stereo/HT is concerned, but it's actually lower than the average electric bass cabinet, many of which have f3s no better than 80hz.
Isn't that hilarious??? You should see the look on these guys faces when you take their cabinets and tune them for some REAL deep bass and add some wiring to increase power delivery and control. Then again, i'm guessing that you've already done that and seen / heard the results : ) Sean
