using 411 8As, for monitors or subs??

[Phil-G]

Hmm, I thought the A7s, subs were for HIFI/HT use? Monitors for what app?

well yeah, i listen to them at home. but i also like to take them out somtimes for parties and larger gatherings. and while i like the idea of infrasonics(maybe later) i'm more looking for reinforcement.

Check out the 9846 Phil. I have used mine as subwoofers, bypassing the stock passive network altogether, and i use them full range(actively biamped) as well. This works well in my home environment up to pretty serious levels. But, i wouldn't even consider partying or gigging them. GM said it best, there are other more viable options for sound reinforcement level subs.

Mine actually belonged to member Geekstar, and he had them outfitted with wheels and folding handles such that they formed their own hand trucks for moving. I have restored them and removed the hardware, actually put the wheels on my 210 cabinets as that was a more practical application for me.

You could do a lot worse with your 411's than to build 9846 clones.

OK, what’s the max H_W_D you can tolerate for 'sub' duty?
