Rick,

I have to ask what type of room these are going in.  These look amazing!  You will have to show us the pictures of the final product.

Cheers,

John

church I believe....right Rick?   OUr church could use those, along with some stategically placed treatments.   Acoustics currently are horrible- too much glass.

Having done church sound work for over 30 years all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! 

Two vertical arrays, hung from the rafters, one on each side of the stage I assume?  Crossing over to subs at around 100Hz?

Please post pictures once they're installed and let us know the electronics chain driving them.

The room is fan-shaped so there are three arrays. Two sub cabinets per side, sixteen 15" drivers total. The crossover point will be determined when everything is installed. Behringer DSP crossovers,QSC amps, Yamaha digital board. Aviom modules on the stage so everything is in the digital domain up to the board.

can you list the church?  I will travel two hours just to see/hear these?  When will they be up and running?

Oh, can I ask?  How much $$ do they cost??

I'll contact you when everything is installed and ready to hear. Several of us donated our time for the project so I can't really say what the total cost would be.

Keep me posted when it's ready. I'd love to see the final installation... Maybe sometime other than Sunday morning. I'm in Raleigh, so not far away at all.

No problem - I'll let you know when I can set up a visit.
