Years ago I traded for the following JBL components. I have 2X LE15A's, with PR15 passive radiators, 2X LE85 horns with LX5 crossovers. I'm looking for a cabinet design that is compact (for 15's) and is effecient and give me good base response. Will power with a Hafler 9180 (100 watts pc).

Is there a speaker design out there that we can build here in Seattle.

Thanks for the input.

This guide gives good basic info as well as specific tuning info for your woofers. You will need to build enclosure #8 for your S7 system.

I'd recommend you not use the passive radiators to get the best performance and most compact cabinets.

You should also read up on lans-a-loy surrounds.
