I was going to make a all hornloaded system but my woofers wont be here in time :evil: so im borrowing some jbl 2242h 18s and makeing a big ported box for them.
I think i am still going to go hornloaded on my top boxes, i might go pic up 2 more 15s tomorrow and have some serious kick drum :lol:
Going to be running a peavey gps 3500 on bass, a crown ce 2000 on kick bass, a carvin dcm2000 on mids and a alesis rs300 on compreshion drivers all running off of a berry dcx2496 crossover.
should make a little noise :D

Awesome. I've always wanted to build some PA speakers. They seem so much more fun to build than car audio boxes. I must say you are a lot more talented than me with wood though :lol:

Brett, that is the side profile of the enclosure. The back of the trapezoidal areas is where the speakers will be mounted, firing into the horns, which gradually expand out to the front of the speakers.

GREAT WOODWORK THERE!
Nice to see such craftmanship; you've got the tools AND the hands....
I always liked working with wood, and especially when things get a bit complicated, like with constructing a horn-enclosure.
Takes me back to the days I experimented a lot with different enclosure-designs.
Building those things was much more fun than listening to them though.. :wink:
Also love your 18 inch cabinets; very solid and simple way to build them; leaving enough room for the magnet as well. :clap:
