ZombieWoof Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 AL did me up some custom XO's for my Eliprasery clones , melding a Hersey & Elip horn (CS-1.5 volume box with Crites 12" woofer & Dave's Eliptracs ) he tested the woof in the box & with Dave's horn then built the XO well worth the cost to send the box to the East coast from the Best coast [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfelliot Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I ended up having to attenuate the horns way down relative to the woofers. The woofers are K28s so I had to wire them in series. They measure as a 4 ohm driver and my amp( pair of Emotiva XPA-1Ls) will not drive a 2 ohm load. Given that the Heresy III(K28) is spec’ed at 99dB(I think it’s a bit lower), the Faital HF140/LTH142 at 109dB and -3dB for series woofers, dropping the autoformer to taps Y-4 dialed in a pretty flat curve using REW. I only have about 25 hrs of runtime so far, so I think there’s still a bit of break-in to go. But, man, do this guys image. Not only great width, but just superb depth! I suspect this is more Al’s crossovers than the horns. The horns themselves have that big open midrange sound that was what I was shooting for. The only thing missing is deep low bass. I always knew this was going to be the case and will be adding a pair of subs for below 80-100Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
