Hello,
I am what's know as a diehard DIYer. I have recently changed from a 511B horn driven by an 802-8D paired up with the N-800-F (because when I first designed/built these last march 2015 I wanted to pair some 416's with a pair of 811B's driven with the infamous 802-8D's and to bring these dance partners together I used some N-800-F crossovers. But since then I've gotten rid of the 811's and went with 511's...for awhile anyway because now, I'm taking the 511's out of the cabinet, thinking there's really no need for the woofers to have to share precious space, so now after building a new baffle face plate and it's a 2-holer! That's right each cabinet will house 2- 416's, as my horns are now 1004B monsters that hang from chains attached to the ceiling, powered by some attractive 288's, now we get to the dilemma to change or not to change, that is the question... thought I would simply leave well enough alone. But now...I went from 811B's to 511B's (barely fit) to an external 1004B hanging from the ceiling on chains driven by a pair of nice 288's.
Now my question, I really need to reconsider my "leave well enough alone" statement...huh?
I have, or more correctly I'm soon to be removing the 511's from the cabinet completely (the horn/drivers are in the cabs but disconnected) and replace the baffle face with a new 2-holer!
Yes a pair of 416-8a's in each cabinet! with monstrous 1004B horns looming over my tiny (36inT X 33inW X 26inD) little cabinets...I say that jokingly because they still seem to dwarf my cabs, go big or go home, is what a friend of mine says...too often. Do I absolutely need a 500Hz crossover???? To be all that I can be?
Thank you and I truly respect opinions and constructive criticism.
