Hello from a forum noooob
After a lot of thought and a fair amount of research im 99% sure a self build is the direction i want to take. Mainly due to the limited availability of passive cabs in todays market
So firtstly here is what i do, what i have, what i would like and budget
Prime use - generic Dj work (weddings etc ranging form small function rooms to marquees)
secondary use - PA for band (small venues only, vocals, acoustic/electric guitar, tiny bit of kick drum)
Current rig - 2 x RCF 712 Actives & 1 RCF 902 Active Bass bin
The bass bin is under powered for my tops and i m looking at building 2 passive good allround bass bins. Not looking for earth moving Sub frequencies and as i'll be using an active crossover would like some advice on target frequencies etc
Have had a sensible offer on my current bass bin and have approx £500 to build 2 cabs +-£50
My current RCF spec

So im looking at a 500w RMS cab. A Max SPL of at least 130DB. Now the different style of cabs really have me baffled (pardon the pun). All i understand is that some will deliver different frequencies better than others
As im not looking for Deep Sub i can imagine that would rule out some designs.
Mainly im looking for a good balanced rig that would sound good and is apprpiate for the type of functions i do.
15" v's 18", that depends on the cabinet. I want to keep the size and weight down and think 15" would be sufficient.
cheers
