Hi,
I'm currently running the 802 and 416-8A in a short horn cabinet and have come across a pair of 414s. I'd like to try a active 3way now.
The idea is to handle the 300-3000hz range with the 414. Since it is the midrange I'm also thinking of avoiding parallel dimensions.
What would be the ideal sealed cabinet size here ? The dimensions I have in mind are 15x16x17, works to roughly 2.36 Cft.
Any advise would be welcome. Thanks.
I built the 3way with the 414. My posts are under moderation.
Will post details when I get past the 10th post I guess.
....continuing where I left off.....
The present system is a 515/288 in a 5.6Cft cabinet and Klangfilm horn (302 I think). I like the 414 and thought about experimenting with a 3-way ( ~ 2.4 Cft sealed ).
The box is well braced and nearing completion. Any ideas on deciding the XO points. The present 515/288 is running via a MiniDSP@800Hz, 2nd order BW. It is equalized at the low end, the upper end and around the 2000 point (attenuated), where the response is very strong.
Tossing between 200 /800 and 100/1200 hz. Any ideas would be welcome.
No clue without horn design details, output impedance of the system. Right now all I know is that the 'sweet spot' for the 515 is around 500 Hz.

The 515 is in a regular 5.6Cft box. The 414 is in a similar 2.4Cft box. Front width of both is 20".
One reason for the 200Hz point - 20" width gives an f3 of ~220hz, should this matter /be considered ?
