Hello peoples,
I would like to upgrade the HF section of my system. Currently we have two 2x12 G#1 v2 Kicktops which I really love, as shown in picture one, which play from ~90hz - 20.000. Two B&C 12FW76 (~90hz-900hz) and a BMS4550 with 80w RMS are installed.
I could of course replace the drivers & horns in the tops, but I was wondering if I could build two Syntripps for the HF as shown in picture two and remove the HF Section from those boxes.
What is your opinion on this? Where would it make sense to set the crossover and would the Syntripp be powerful enough?
Current system:
Possible upgrade? (Syntripp in the render are not 100% to scale)
Greetings
Finn

Hello!
First of all a big thank you to all the contributors to these designs (specially Art). Ive built a pair (without cnc) including secondarys and i am over the moon with the result! As drivers ive used: B&C - 10CL51 8ohm and B&C - DE780TN - 8ohm. The sound is pretty phenomenal. As a sub im using 1x Josh Ricci's CKRAM wich is pairing very nice with the SynTripP's. The CKRAM sounds and measures very flat, same like the SynTripP's. At the moment i have crossed them at 80Hz. For people who are not familliar with Josh Riccis design, have a look on his forum called Databass.
I have a question:
The CKRAM is probably close to the smallest 21" subwoofer design that still makes sense (please correct me if im wrong). It is loaded with a B&C-21SW152-8 and it does sound truly awesome for its size. However, the system was meant to be more portable. The CKRAM weighs in at 56 kilos wich is very light but still quite pushing it ergonomically (lazy). Seeing that im using it upto 80Hz and would offcourse like to minize sacrafice the lower frequencys (within reason):
Could any of you kindly recommend a: tried and true (more) portable design for a 18 or 15" B&C speaker that would compliment the SynTripP's on lazy days. I understand im going to sacrifice some SPL and some low frequencys.

Thanx in advance Lex
PS: for non lazy days im looking into Arts foldable ratchet strap horn for the CKRAM free dB's spl who doesnt love that!

I'd suggest you pick something smaller with a response you like from something else Josh has measured:
https://data-bass.com/#/systems?_k=vhj336
Otherwise, SS15 or THAM, but after being used to 30Hz response, not going to satisfy you..
