Building a DR250 is not more difficult than an OTop 12 JArray, it just takes longer.

That amount of bass makes perfect sense when you look at an equal loudness chart.

Bass is most prominent in the 60 to 90 Hz range, so if you want more thump that's where you boost EQ.

I consult here, as a sound level monitor, so they don't get in trouble with the town: https://www.banknhpavilion.com/ The levels there in the FOH 75 feet from the stage with the loudest acts are 110dB'C' average, with 116dB'C' peaks. Most acts come in 10dB lower than that. If you're getting 96dB at ...

Ok, so you're saying run side one to the sub and then on to the mid/top, and then run the other mid/top direct to the amp? Wouldn't that put a 4-ohm load (given 8ohm cabs) on one side an 8 on the other with no crossover? No, because you still need a crossover between the sub and the main, which is ...

Harley's dad, Harley Sr, passed in 2012. Harley seems to be still around. https://wiza.co/d/windsor-engineering-g ... arley-dear

It's not the receiver that's summed, it's the content. The same material is on both channels. Therefore only one channel needs to be connected to the sub.

There's no reason to use L/R signals with a sub. Content below 80-100 Hz has been summed to mono since the 1970s.

That's a pro-sound sub, not HT. If you're looking for a direct radiator there's the Simplexx 15 Sub and Simplexx 18.

It should work, my TT 2x4 is right next to my recliner/listening position/home theater/home office.

Get one or two of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/250-lb-ca ... 1901739435

Higher power only equals higher output if there's enough Vd to make use of it. The OP is asking about the Simplexx 18, which isn't horn loaded.

Too slight a difference to matter.

IMO they don't offer any benefit over DRs, and with the number of drivers are considerably more expensive.

If you want to go all out there's the LaVoce SAF184.03. 13mm xmax allows it to take 1,000w.
