Hello...
I've set out to make your Event Horizon project in its hivi version ...
I get a question ... inside the box you do not put any acoustic insulation?
Thank you

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
that looks awesome! probably a bit too advance for me, but definitely something to shoot for.

Listen to them everyday. Couldn't be more happier. The only thing i am going to change, is going from my current single 15" Dayton sub, to dual 12"s.

Yours look like a very nice implementation!

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
Could these be a candidate for capacitor "passive assist" rather than ported?

Originally posted by Paul Carmody View PostSigh. Unfortunately, the Event Horizon XL doesn't really exist. I did prototype a box, but still couldn't get the sound where I wanted. Ultimately, I know I'll need to go bigger. I'm not sure if I'll ever get that project off the ground.
In its absence, I would recommend doing Lou Corragio's "Schtick" project in a WMTMW orientation. (the baffle/cabinet sizes wouldn't have to change, just reorient and center the drivers). I think this would be a rock-solid speaker--and in the back of my mind I kind of knew Lou's speaker would be hard to beat for what it is. I don't know who has a copy of Lou's site. A few people here saved it, I know. So if we can dig up the plans for the Schtick, I'd be glad to help get this going.
edit: ON THE OTHER HAND, upon thinking about this more, if there are any builders in the Chicagoland area who are willing to work with me on another set of prototype cabinets, maybe we can get the XL working after all.
I'm not in the Chicago area but would be happy to work on the XL version if you wanted. I've got a suitable woodshop and would be able to document everything very well. Testing may be a bit of a challenge but I'm sure I could think of something.
I'll do a little work on the designs to see what I can come up with. If I find anything promising I'll let you know.

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
Paul, I've been scouring this thread for days now and am going to attempt to build these but have a few quick questions before I get started. Since I'm using these in a theater, I can easily extend the height so am very interested in the XL design. Did you ever figure the dimensions of the larger design to extend the bass? Also, since I'm putting them next to a projector screen, my goal is to go as shallow as possible so (forgive the noob question) if I make them less deep is it just a matter of making them longer/wider to compensate for the lost volume or will the performance suffer by doing so?

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
Hi Paul, I came across this thread my research for a speaker for my setup and I found the thread on Event horizons. I prefer the ND drivers over the HiVi, I plan on having a so the low end isn't a big issue for me. I was hoping you could share the XO design for ND drivers and any final recommendations on cabinet dimensions. I plan to use this a CC and build the box into a mantel below my tv. I will share the build process here once I get my ducks in a row.
Thanks!

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
paul i think we are after some information of the XL version that you mentioned.
from what i got on other posts you said you weren't happy with using the 4" mids in a 3 way design as the bass suffered.

Wait, which version are we talking about?

Re: Event Horizon: a slim, wall-mounted WMTMW
Agreed. We just started looking. It's becoming hard for me to suggest something to him because in the end is what he wants but with his experience he doesn't know what to look for. Originally I was thinking OS would work well but it's looking like he is drawn to busier designsLast edited by tashspop; 12-09-2014, 02:17 PM.
