yeh thats what i was thinking in therms of frequencybut it comes down to pricaticality a straight horn would be nice, but bigger more arkwardly shaped boxes to carry around, if i owned a truck id go for them but as we rent trannie vans space is a bit of a premium sometimes, that and they've got to fit in my room somehow

by the way which driver would people suggest be most suitable for this frequency range? 65 - 160 (extreme crossover freqs) c650 or sd18? or another option? thinking in terms of best sound over the frequency band (if the c650 wont sound as good i think i can justify getting the sd ie 220 a pop but no more than that [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]) just had a look at t/s the sd has got nearly twice the bl, id guess this would make it sound much tighter though at £100 more is that enough?
also with that i might need to consider 2x amps for kick at a guess unless 1500w per side at 4 ohm will be enough, so many questions [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

Yes. The good thing about BPHs is that they throw about as far as full scoops, and have a not-so clean sound (good for some people). The driver is your own choice. The C18-650EL will be less loud, deep and precise (more warmer, some people think). The SD18 will be more precise and go deeper (Important if you only take the BPHs out by themselves). Which traits you value most will affect what you buy in the end.
