Thought I would get my MWM bins up and running again so I'm using 4 Tom Danley Synergy horn speakers covering the mid and highs they are the td-1's early version of the SH46 and I 'm also using a Danley DBH218 sub. Still experimenting with crossover points but that's fun.

The DBH218 has a SPL of 112db so yes it will keep up and more Tom Danley has come up with some amazing speakers not only subs but his tops also the Synergy Horns are amazing . I said it in a previous post Danley Sound Labs are the only speaker I would consider over Klipsch.

"The DBH218 has a SPL of 112db"

 

Subtract 6dB for it being 2Ω, 106dB still isn't bad.

 

Ivan Beavers from Danley response to the -6db I also was curious seeing as I am a Danley Dealer.

What he is referring to is the old 1watt/1meter argument.

That argument is false-since you do NOT put power to a speaker-you simply apply voltage and the wattage is the result.

2.83V is 1 watt into 8 ohms.  But a loudspeaker is NOT what the rating is.  That rating is simply the closest standard number (2-4-8-16) that is somehow an average over the freq response.

At many freq the impedance is higher and sometimes lower than the actual rating.

IT is for that reason that we use 2.83V as our "standard-no matter what the impedance is.

We supply an actual impedance CURVE (something that most people don't) so the user can determine that THEY think the impedance and wattage is.  Different people will come up with different numbers when looking at a curve.

But if the ratings were flat (which they are not on any loudspeaker) then a 2 ohm loudspeaker will have a 6dB advantage over an 8 ohm speaker in terms of sensitivity.

But this is accounted for in the max output specs.

The REAL thing to look at is the freq response-but many manufacturers do not supply that either.

So if you are dealing with "simple numbers" from one manufacturer and real data from another-it can get a bit confusing-because you have no idea where the "simple numbers" come from

iRONic watched from the edge of the bed
With his lips just a-twitchin an his face gone red
Some drool rollin down
From the edge of his chin
While he spied the condition

kg4guy's HT was in

He quivered n quaked
And clutched at himself

While the wifey made jokes about his mental health

Man that danley DBH218 is nice. One day i would love to own one of danleys subs... I went to a concert were they had a BC415 and it was the cleanest, loudest, most beautiful bass i have ever heard.

Build a Othorn 21 sub they are awesome and won't bankrupt you.

You had me at 4 Danley horns. 

Having a pair of Othorn 21's built they are suppose to be killer subs.

 

Here is a link to the data-bass measurement and review:

It destroys an SVS pb13Ultra.

 

Notice the EQ setting recommendation:

 

Recommended processing for this cab are as follows:
Recommended maximum amplifier power: 6000w program (140 to 145 volts) even as little as 600w will produce quite a bit of bass
Recommended Processing: 24Hz Butterworth 18dB/Octave high pass
BP EQ1 107Hz Q10.0 -7.5dB
BP EQ2 84Hz Q2.20 +2.5dB
BP EQ3 44Hz Q2.80 -1.5dB

Yes I've had my eye on these for some time I'm going to use one of my Crown iTech 6000 run 3000 watts into each cabinet that should work.

That should put a big grin on your face!

 

Who's building them for you? Are you using the recommended 21" driver in them?

Yes the B&C 21 sw152-4  I have a friend Robert that built a lot of the model's in the Star Wars movie in fact he built a giant Imperial Walker for George Lucas's ranch . There is a guy near Nashville Rick Lee he is a BFM certified builder he will build you one.

I remember seeing a pile of those danley's for sale here recently did you buy them all or a partial lot?  Seems it was a very good price for what they were but very heavy for portable use. 

I got all my subs new wish I could have found used just not many on the west coast .
