Post Subject: The DriverPosted by noviygera on: 12/19/2015

Romy,I am in agreement with your observations. I am not certain I will end up using specific crossover slope, like 6db or whatever. It's what I prefer in my current setup. I will try to have make a design that will work with this type of crossover -- one that will roll off naturally below 60hz and above 300hz. In this case 6db crossovers will be a good match. I understand that this will be the result of interaction of driver and horn. So lets say it will depend... Now would be a good time to narrow down on actual driver and revisit above points again later.
Also you say: "In reality the driver is the key"So let me ask for advice on suitable driver(s). This be my next step. Need I select a size? Or driver with certain spec? For example lets say driver "x" is good for this range and has been tried and proven. What is your recommendation on driver for this range? Or better way to look at this, HOW do you recommend to select the driver? For example, you use Fane Studio 8 in a different range with different horn but maybe this driver will also work in my application? No? ok, but what qualifies the driver? Or is it purely coincidental match? Is it the case that all 400watt treated paper pro drivers should not be even considered, etc.
