I'm no speaker engineer like Bill, but I have enough background and know just enough to be dangerous to setup something really good, along with the help of others, mainly for the design of the crossover. I've already tested some of the best 10" midbasses I could get my hands on, and some top AMT's, as well as catalogue'ing lots of measurement data. Bass section will consist of four 10" subwoofers and four 10" passive radiators, in each enclosure(!). If it's one thing that metal needs, it's kick-you-in-your-chest thump when the double bass drums are blasted on! Only the bottom face of the speaker will not have a sound radiating surface, LOL. Of course it's not something that is gonna have a lustrous finish like the Legacy offerings, but I expect monstrous performance in a package just slightly larger than the Calibre cabinet (about 25% or so). I anticipate >120lbs per cabinet, lol.  |
Wow....I'll bring the Metallica, Queensryche and other butt-kicking material
!
Would love to see pics of the design for this and the project build as it unfolds. It will be one hell of a monitor with an attitude! Happy Holidays!
