Two-way system with TAD TD-2001?

[dubkarma]

A pair of TAD TD-2001 1-inch exit drivers have come my way.
I'm thinking of using them, crossed over around 1 kHz, in a two-way system with a 12" LF driver.

I'd appreciate receiving any suggestions for

(a) the LF driver -- TAD TL-1102 (hard to find) or ???

(b) the horn -- don't know a lot about horns for 1-inch exit drivers -- JBL 2370A or ???

TiA,

Joel.

(b) You might find the JBL 2344 worth a try. It's been done before:

I'm not sure what would be the best 1" horn, but the 2370 wouldn't be on my list. The 2344 is certainly much better. You might want to try a tractrix horn.

For woofers, the Altec 414 could be an excellent choice.

If you have the opportunity to make your own horns these (http://www.geocities.jp/arai401204/Horn/A480/A480.html) horns might be something to try out. Maybe you could make yourself a smaller version of the TAD 2402 exclusive if you could get a hold on those 1102, which I think could be kind of difficult.

Not sure if you're sticking to JBL horns, but I've seen people use TD-2001s on Altec 511s, and I use TD-2002s (a very similar driver) on Altec 511s, crossed at 800Hz. The combination works quite well. The usual caveats about the 511 apply; they need plenty of damping to stop the ringing, and the walls of the horn are too flexible for serious use, so they need to be coated with something soundproof. I used polyurethane construction adhesive.

For crossing at 1kHz, an Altec 811 might also work well.
