I am considering building some speaker boxes and installing two 15" JBL 2035HPL drivers in each speaker. Then I will add a JBL 2446H horn driver on top with a 19.6" Jabo horn. Crossover is recommended to be switched at 500Hz or 800Hz. Considering using the speaker box dimensions of the JBL 4638 (39"H x 25.5"W x 17.75"D) which used the same 15" drivers. They were designed for theater use and I plan on using them for the house (music and movies). This speaker is commonly paired with this 2446 horn driver so I think they will be a good match. I am hoping they sound great and produce the full range with out a sub woofer.
So My questions are as follows.
Has any one listened to this or similar set up? How did it sound?
Is any one familiar with these drivers? are they worth building my speakers around? Good performance? Dependability?
Any suggestion on other better drivers that are easily obtainable?
Any recommendations on a crossover that would work well with this setup.
I have heard that these speakers may lack some bass on the low end. Any suggestions on how to make modifications to in crease low end bass? Increase the size of the box? how much? Possibly change the lower 15" driver to a larger driver? then I should make the cabinet bigger and I have no idea where to start with the new box dimensions. Change the crossover point?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
