Post Subject: Slanted enclosurePosted by Jorge on: 9/24/2011

I will be dubiuos about the slanted enclosure if not done properly, all drivers must be time aligned and since they are playing the same frequency, deficiencies in time alignment become more obvious. I made a slanted enclosure but with the drivers facing forward, that is: out of alignment completely, you can imagine how bad they sounded!
With the configuration you propose all drivers will be aligned and will shoot at an angle to the floor, for the frequencies under 20 hz I hardly think this will be a problem, actually it might be even better. For crossing at 100 hz its a whole different story...

I think one of the most important things about the lower channels is amplification and GAIN! The horn channels are too sensitive, if we use 88 db woofers even in a huge array, lowering the volume on the horns wont really help in matching volume with the right tone and dinamic size, more gain is needed for the bass array, I like gargantuan gain for bass channels!
