Re: Creating a possible 5 speaker system...


Sonnie,

Preliminary cabinet dimensions look like they'd be around 44"H x 7"W x 18"D. This should give you pretty flat response in room down to 40Hz or so. We could get a little more extension, but the cabinet would have to be even bigger in order to do so. And I don't think the added extension is worth the hit you'd take in output. So I think shooting for flat in room response to around 40Hz would be the way to go.

Also, another option is to go for larger L/R speakers and keep the center smaller. The 7" width limit really makes it difficult to get the appropriate internal volume. You end up with an extremely deep cabinet for a given volume. So if you wanted towers with better extension than the center we could go with something larger width wise for them and still keep the center to the 7" width limit.
