Imperials or other for ZMA
07/23/19 at 00:26:36
 
Last April storms ripped off the roof of my barn completely destroying it.  Which gave me the opportunity to rebuild with half being turned into a heated room 24 x 48 with 16 foot ceilings.

I am thinking of building some really big speakers to go with my zma.  Currently using Pendragons.  I have been looking at the imperials but want to consider all options.  
Any ideas would be appreciated!

Sounds like you're on a good track. I thought of the imperials right away as well. https://www.decware.com/imperial.htm these speakers seem like they would be perfect for a room as large as yours.

And then there are these https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1561942815 which seems like the 10's and 15's together could make for a good time as well.

Thanks for the recommendation.  Those look pretty simple to build and have a WAF but as these are in my outbuild I do not have to worry about that.

I think the imperials also use a 15 full range (×2)?  I do not understand how to build of integrate the top horn yet.

Per Steve, "There are no advantages to two drivers unless you use it for PA use". https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1560275626

I'm not completely familiar how to integrate the horn but am willing to bet a call in to Steve or searching around the forums could shed some light.

I will be ordering the Imperial plans tonight.  I will keep it a single full range initially using those F-15 speakers
