INPUT NEEDED! Dual DC lvl 3 4th order for outside


Stee-Z

Recommended Posts

I'm wanting to build a 4th order for outside/party/ DJ use for an upcoming event, I figured a down firing 4th order would be the way to go to prevent damage to the speakers themselves from ongoing partiers. The only thing is I have no experience with outdoor applications so any input on wha type of box should be used for optimal output that would be amazing and much appreciated. The lvl 3s will be ran off my Crown 2000 unless I decide to build it for my SC 3515. Thanks and I'm open to everything!

I think normally for outside and large venues, people use the "bass bin" or "scoop" type enclosure to project the sound in the direction of the audience. A down firing sub would do something. It just might not be what you are expecting.

That's true, I should dig a little deeper into the matter and keep researching. I also wonder if a mock up loading wall would work at all due to it not being enclosed, or maybe that would just hurt the performance outside?

Almost all your PA subwoofers are either ported or horns, there are plenty of ways to protect a sub without putting it in a bandpass box or down firing it.

What size subs are these? I may know of a good PA horn they might work in.

I would love to build a big horn. But then I would have to find a place to keep it.

Ok, bummer. What I had in mind would work have worked for a pair of 12"s, but not 15"s. I have some other ideas I'll look into as well.
