Someone on a vintage audio group on Facebook has two JBL W bins each with a 18" driver.Would those work better in this application provided I can find some or plans to build them?

The 4520s at the other rink in town produced the most natural sounding bass I've ever heard. I'll look up the Martin 115 as well and see if that would be a viable option. Therein is the thing.Even...

I suspect many discos used the bare minimum they could get by with and get acceptable sound when had they used more, they would have gotten better sound and not had to run them so hard.Also I suspect...

The goal would be to have them produce whatever bass they are capable of.Now if I were to place four cabinets side by side would that be of any benefit far as the lower bass is concerned?Also would...

Old topic, but how well would the Dayton Audio PA380-8 woofer work in stock size 4520 cabinets?

The Dayton Audio driver used is found in this topic. Also the cabinet is slightly different as well so am not sure how these would work in a stock cabinet....

My bad I was wrong.It was a Dayton Audio woofer.Specifically this one.https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-PA380-8-15-Pro-Woofer-295-034?quantity=1

I seem to remember someone on the forums here a few years ago using a Pyle or Pyle Pro 15" 500 watt woofer in these cabinets and getting the same or better results as the proper JBL woofer.

I got to thinking about the JBL 4520 tonight and had a couple questions. What driver was it that was recommended for the JBL 4520? I'm thinking it was a driver made by Pyle, but I cannot remember...

Another update.

For the QSC speakers I switched the LF switch to norm on all speakers and I set the two way crossover to 70Hz and the sound is much better.

I am going to see about perhaps...

True the patch bay isn't necessary, but it will sure make things much easier than the terminal strips especially if something needs to be reconfigured.

Hadn't thought of that. Had figured that would be a good way to sum a stereo signal to mono.

Now the tops do have a sum output which I suppose is used to feed other speakers if two sources are...

The plan is to go mono.

Each speaker has two inputs so I had figured on using both so that I am not limited to a mono mixer or a mixer set to mono or only using one channel of a stereo mixer...

That would be 145 dB max with the yorkvilles given there's two per corner.

Now because there's only subs in two corners will one JBL per corner sound louder across the whole rink or will I need...

I am hoping that soon the sound system upgrades will start.
They had delays with their water park which I'm sure put the restaurant addition behind and also put the sound system upgrades behind as...

Time for an update.

I got the current system tweaked as good as it could be and removing a stereo to mono adapter (uses transformers i think) from the mixer output cleared up the upper midrange...

Getting back to this.

I would love to use these speakers

namely the sub, but at nearly $7,000 each I doubt the rink will...

Agreed.

Unfortunately the rink closed earlier this year so there's no more need for these.

Don't know how much the rink can spend, but I do know the owner owns an apartment complex across the road, owns a construction company and also is building a water park on the same property as the...

Very nice.

Didn't know Pioneer was into pro audio.

Goes to show that some designs are stil good today.

Don't know if the rink would have enough for a pioneer system put together by pioneer,...

Each of the two QSC amps are run in bridged mono with two subs in parallel.

I've found that when I lowered the crossover to 70Hz the bass was a bit better and the overall sound quality improved a...

Oh ok didn't know materials were all so expensive.

Plus factor in having to pay the employee to build the cabinets.

It may be cheaper to find some 4520 cabinets and try them.

Perhaps 8 of...

If I did go with horns the rink owner also owns a construction company so it wouldnt cost him much to build them.

They are planning on upgrading their system later this year and I explained the deficiencies and said I'd ask around on forums for the right subs that should be used. They did agree.

The budget...

It's more along of wanting to know what ways there are of doing the bass and a brief explanation of the pros and cons of each method.

In my opinion going with more modern high powered subs and the...
