Hello - Long time reader, first time question asker

Sydney - Do you mean firm as in have the money in hand? That is my plan or I could end up . Thanks for the advice.

David - I hoped that's what people would think. I didn't feel like I could go wrong with those choices in both small and large venues. But should I Xover passive or bi-amped? Hmmmmm............

Active crossover. I use the DCX2496 unit, but there are plenty of options. Also, I didn't notice a mention of how many of each you were planning on building. If just a pair of each, build the T39's as wide as you have space for because the DR250's can easily outrun them. Back when I had a pair of DR250's and a pair of 14" wide T39's (w/BP102's), I had to hold back the DR250's to the tune of 5 or 6 db to get the balance I liked.

Yeah, for this trial just a pair of each. If they do what I think they will do then there will be many more to come.

The balance has been a concern for me, which I think is why Bill recommended the OT12's and Titan 39's. I haven't ordered plans yet but from what I can tell the 250's are 22 inches wide. In a perfect world Titans that are 20" would mean that 4 could fit perfectly across in the trailer and I think the OT12's I could build 20" wide (could be wrong). I'm fairly sure I could fit them on top of the Titans in the trailer and that would leave room for the lights I just acquired. Shoot, now I'm leaning OT12 because of packing. Can you build a 20" 250?

So many choices, so much indecisiveness.

Can you build a 20" 250?

No. But you can build a DR200 at about 20" cubed. IMHO, the 200s sound better than the 250s.

No. But you can build a DR200 at about 20" cubed.

Which is what I'm doing right now. Except I'm building four DR200's (two per side) to match the output of the two 20" T39's I just finished.

Yes, Good.
Avoid future hardluck stories:
( Such as "The band broke up", "I quit the band", "Sorry Dude I'm broke" etc, etc )
An entrepreneur gets money from an investor not a vague promise.

Tops are not adjustable on size, especially the DR's. Results would be unpredictable.
