I have only two criteria to meet. One, replace the 15's wasted cabinets with something and two, try to keep the footprint of these speakers to an acceptable limit. That's the one consideration in my idea of combining them. In answer to your POP Quiz: A. the 15's do not suck, I have no usable cabinets for the components. B. The only thing special that I can see in the MR horn is the dispersion pattern and the difference in the magnet structure. C. about the 808-8a's, they're really heavy! D. I have no idea of the problems or anything else associated with running multiple woofers in parallel. That's why I come to this forum, to learn from more knowledgeable individuals. One idea I had is to copy the 14's cabinet for the other 15's drivers and stack them, top inverted (horn on the bottom). I used to have Advents done this way a long time ago. Any input on this? Hey! Happy New Year !
