Bigdnfay1 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi all, I have a pair of 511b's and 811b's. Can you use an 811b as a tweeter horn without any ill effects. I want to stack them, 811 over the 511 in a top-end configuration. BigD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfogg Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Why would you want to? If you are going to use it as a tweeter you could get a dedicated tweeter horn which will be physically much smaller and likely have better dispersion up high.

Wide range midrange horns like a 811b are a compromise, like everything is. HF reproduction is probably not their strongest point. if you wanna go 3 way, go for a real tweeter designed for the task.

Bigdnfay1 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 This is not a serious project .I'm just playing around with some extra parts I have lying around. I was thinking about K-55-m's on the 511's and an altec DH2010A onthe 811's. I'll be using an active crossover(Rane AC-23). I can put them on a khorn bass bins or jub bass bins. Comments welcome.
