Subject: Decware WO32 etc

URL: Steve Deckert Designs


so i noticed that the decware site says "Recommended amplification is between 90 ~ 500 watts"...

i have 8 amps (mono 600W 8-ohm or stereo 300W 4-ohm) waiting to be used - could i run 600W(8) to each speaker (8 drivers in 4 cabinets), or would that be too much for such enclosure? also, if i used DVC speakers, should i wire the driver's voice coils together for an 8-ohm load, or should i keep each voice coil powered by a separate channel into 4-ohms?

are there any advantages in building a regular WO vs WO32? might WO be any better for higher SPL than WO32?

also, where do they top out at - useable frequency-wise?

does anyone have 1w at 1m SPL-Freq Charts that compare WO vs WO32? VERY INTERESTED IN THAT!!!

Also, how do the Wicked two compare to Bill Fitzmaurice's Tubas?

i looked around for hi-sensitivity 10" drivers and found a few that i need opinions on... i care more about SPL in 40-80Hz range than the ultra-low end...
