OT: design ideas for bass horns for PA
Hey all. I recently got a deal on a bunch of 15inch seismic audio drivers. I was thinking of building some bass cabinets in the style and philosophy of the older altec and jbl bins. I would like to use them for my dj/sound reinforcement gigs. Currently im running with all vintage amps and processing (altec, crown, shure, some tube and solid state). My speakers are newer though, and I haven't been impressed with their bass response at long range. I have heard that bass horn designs are good at throwing sound over longer distances, so im definitely game to try building some. There would be a size and weight limit, as I would prefer to be able to move them without a crane. So yeah, if anyone is willing to enlighten a noob on bass horns I would appreciate it. Some designs Ive been looking at specifically were the old peavey sp2s and 3s, as well as the Altec a7. Sorry for the rambling post, Im just kinda thinking aloud. Oh btw, I already tried posting about this on Audiokarma, but you all know how things go down over there....in speaker land, if you arent hacking up organ tone cabinets or identifying some random crap speakers from the 80s or discussing some new 105,000 gold rimmed speakers with nuclear powered field coils your shunned.
