justinsweber Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Since I sold off my super heresy 2way (heresy box, big Faital horn) I had wanted to recreate it with some improvements. box is ported... think tangent 5000 but better. biggest horns I could muster... Faital eliptical tratrix horns. Eminence lfa12 to harm... getting into mid 30s. drivers are Radian on mids and B&C for hf. Alk cornscalawal to round it all out. Box had front baffle and rear back plate dadoed into place. All fasteners are 1/4-20. Super stout. bass is really tight and digs low. Bass output is comparable to a Forte3 and mids/hf as good as the cw4. best part is it fits in the room. Though the lf is rated at 94db. I was playing really happily with 3 watts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinsweber Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks. It was a request of a close friend. It feels like a better heresy and different but maybe not quite on level for of top tier cornscala. the bass being tighter and faster but not with same quantity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinsweber Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks everyone. I think this idea... cornscala with a heresy woofer has been explored before... tangent 5000. the 12” seems significantly faster than my ported 15. Goes deeper too. I went cornscalawal as I like my low end a bit romantic. I’d bet these would be very articulate with an ap12. Alk has made an ap12-800 for me before that’s set for the 12lfa/k22. common thinking would say it’s weak spot would be lf. That hasn’t been my experience. I had to pad the mids a great deal -17 or -16 as I recall. Turning the mids and the hf down was what was needed for my room and tastes but as Dave reminds me... I like the hf mellow compared to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Common thinking" may say that, but I have used that woofer (based on your suggestion a few threads ago) in three (don't ask) Super Heresy and they punch WAY above their weight class. It will be my go to 12" for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
