What throat fillers? There aren't any in my omni15TB plans. Are they only in the lowboy model?
They're not used in the Omni's. (DR's and OT's, yes)

You are correct and I am not. I'm building OT212 which uses throat fillers, so I have them on the brain.

The mid-horn in the O15 would probably benefit from them, as it uses a spacer to avoid cone slap. This creates an enclosed resonant chamber same as the OT12, so a filler is probably useful for the same reason. I want to include them in my (stalled) O15 build.
My biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my toys for what I said I paid for them.

Probably, but it would be so small that constructing it would be touchy, and the midhorn works so well without it that it may not make enough difference to justify the extra complexity.

No exceptions, no deviation.
The 3015LF is THE best driver available today. It is also THE best driver for the O15.
The Alpha 8MRA is THE best driver for the midbass. Nothing else will work properly.
Do not bi-amp. Build the filter network exactly as shown. Use the throat fillers.

When built to the plans, this box will make a ton of noise. It will get down for your dub, and you will be a happy camper.
Second-guess the plans, and the world will end. You will be unhappy.
Your girl friend will leave you for another woman, and they won't let you watch.
The Other Guy will be elected President.

So, you can see there is a lot riding on you following the plans to the letter.

:mrgreen:

Probably.

The most-often asked question here is, "can I use X driver instead..."
