Enspired by Jeffery Jacksons system as displayed @ VSAC, I'm building a five-way horn system. |

How are you planning to power the thing? The amplification pattern will affect the selection of your channels.

It will not work. Fine 8” is a good driver with 86dB air resonance and it might be good for 100Hz horn minimum. In 65Hz horn the 8" Fane will be underperforming.

Might I ask why you desired to use two channels in this range with 2K of split? You will pay with some near filed restriction in this configuration.

And what specific moments you do not find satisfactory with you Radians that it inspired you to build your own drivers? I might have some leads for the rest of you questions but it would be interesting to hear what your sonic strategic objectives are.
