Post Subject: Driver sizePosted by noviygera on: 12/21/2015

Romy,
You provided very good starting points on the driver selection and I am also corresponding with a gentleman that may help me with actual horn design. I have found a couple of drivers that seem to work based on your guidelines. They are pro sound 10" to 12" with Fs around 50-55hz. Is it the case that driver size should be no more than certain diameter to sound decent in 60 to 300hz range? Such as, 15" being too large I need to look at no more than 12"? It looks like current hifi drivers are out question and anything remotely suitable is going to be PA.
Thanks.
ps. Correction: I just noticed that Fostex 8" full range drivers meet those specs and have very low power handling (maybe too low).
