Title: Imperial Horn single 15" version? Post by DJLiveX on 02/06/13 at 03:47:20 Hi new to the forum would like to build a total of 4 single Imperial 15" but for upper bass 100-1.0kHz is this possible for a large 4 way sound system for DJ playback. Was planning on using a 15" for mid bass purpose and neo magnet? Any suggestions I like the design can this be modified like the JBL 4550 scoop rear loaded used in clubs but putting in a curved piece like the JBL scoops in the lower mouth? Thanks for all the help! 8-) |

If you look at the thread a few down entitled "Mr Valiant's Half Imperial" you will see some pictures of one that contains 4 x 8" speakers. You would want to build it to take one 15" speaker (but the idea of a removable baffle board so different speakers can be tried is a very good thing to have). The original (who's pictures are long gone) took one 15" speaker and looked almost like a full Imperial when you set two of them side by side. Supposedly they preformed as one big one too, with lower bass response, when two were places side by side. 1/2 width made them much easier to move around. Here are some pics I found. The first. "open jam" has a full size Imperial on the left and two 1/2 Imperials on the right. The next pic shows the two 1/2 Imperials being moved after the show. |

The 18's may well require a slight rejig of the width i.e, the width of my 1/2 Imp would be an inch or so short of 18". Plus, my 1/2 Imperial with 4x8" drivers, passively crossed over with a VIFA D19 turned out to be a very 'pleasant' speaker for HiFi |
