well maybe you heard it when we where trying out new mid top cabs cos the system sounds clean and loud right now and if there is any distortion its down to the dj's overdriving the inputs on the mixer, anyway we use a combination of scoops and double folded horns for bass, the double folded horn is a cabinet design used by most good pa companies like funktion 1 ,turbo sound, martin audio ect. but to get the deep bass that we like we would have to use them in multiples of 9 in each stack to create the right wave front which would create the low frequceis we like but it takes up a lots of space and most clubs only allow us to put speakers in certain areas because of fire exits ect.
and for the scoop bass bin, its a classic sub cab thats excellent for low bass only if you have the right power amps (old power amps) cos most new amps being built today are light switch mode amps and they dont go low in freqency so they sound shit when being used for low sub bass. the scoop bass bin is cheap to build, its not the loudest bass cab but it sounds good for low bass, loud bass cabs are cabs like the cervodrive if i could afford 60 of em i would buy em but we cant afford them as there very expensive, probably about 8 times more exepensive than a scoop bin.
i use the funktion one res 5's for mid highs at the mo but
i am developing my own mid high cab but it takes time, ill get there 1 day.
its nice to see people are interested peace
