    That would be a powerful speaker combo.....I think I saw something like that, except it didn't have any horn, just the regular driver (416 -515) on the bottom and a 604 above it. Like a stanley screamer kind of.

    Thanks for the input! I was just wondering why this would be a bad Idea? 2 different speaker systems in one cabinet with shared volume to save space. Thanks

    The UREI 813 and 815 monitors did this many years ago, buy mainly to improve power handling and ultimate loudness, not to extend the bass response downward.

    If I was going to build something like what you are proposing, I would lean towards an Onken W box with a 605 paired with a 416/803.

    No, he wants to put all the drivers in the same box so he can switch back and forth, a completely different concept.How do you get optimum tweeter placement for both systems? you can't.

    The screamer was a 3 way using the 604 high power versions horns as tweets. He is talking about two independent systems in a common cabinet.

    You are thinking of the Urei 813 monitor with an Eminence sub, again COMPLETELY different.
