Post Subject: Why will it expect to be good at that range??Posted by MINGSU on: 6/24/2011

"the SG-570BL with S-150 horn mid-low isn't good between 100 or 150 (the horn name;-))"

Why will it expect to be good at that range?? The S-150 horn has cutoff frequency of 150Hz. The suggested crossover point is 200Hz from GOTO.

There is no doubt that with S-150 horn, all low midrange driver will work - 505, 570 and 5880 but each level of driver upgrade will sound better. The reason that user start from 505 is not because it is the best choice but because it is the most affordable starting point.

Yes. it take years of effort for a DIYer to get a multi-horn system to work right and correct. No one said it is easy and cheap but if you can bear with the cost and effort, it is certainly worth the effort. Of course, one can always hire a professional to speed up the learning curve. Again, my car example, if you are driving a F1 car and it is going too slow - the chance is the driver is the problem, not the car....... If you want your team to win the F1 race, hire a professional F1 racer..........

I think you pointed out correctly. GOTO sell speaker driver and not a system - because it is impossible to pre-config a multi-horn system to fit every buyer's room and sound taste.

As a business, I offer the full service of installation and setup tailor to each buyer's room and sound taste. The cost is high but save you years of trial and error - some will say that suck out all of the fun but for others it is just driving faster to finish line.....
