Location: Fairfield, Iowa - local pickup only / can maybe arrange to meet you halfway somewhere. Enclosures are ~220# + 80# driver and dimensions are 45x45x24.
They were rarely used and are in great condition. Moved into a new house and unfortunately don't have the space for them, so will be making another sub plan.
How are you using them @stegen ? They were pretty darn potent when I heard them at @lukeamdman 's house about 3 years ago, in combination with othorns.
I was also impressed with my ghorns during my recent visit to @d_c 's house, who was using them in his ceiling in an open living room space.
Not sure what you mean by "how" I'm using them. I have them corner loaded in tge back of my room. They are running off a prolite 7.5. I don't proclaim to know much about this stuff so I'm sure it's just setup that is causing my disappointment. Luke and I were planning a day to measure and setup but haven't done so. I was very impressed at Luke's too, hence why I bought them.
I just got a umik from Luke so that'll be the next focus, but again, I'm still a beginner. I don't have my theater started yet either so they are in a random corner. I know these things are power houses so I'm 90% sure it's setup and 10% of me never being satisfied
You likely don't want the too close to the corner and may perform better if you face them left or right instead of facing forward. If you have rew and the calibrated umik, should be enough to run some sweeps to see frequency response. The frequency range of the ghorn is quite good from 15 hz to 25 hz.
I was just talking to Luke about this @Archaea. I was running my gs up to 80hz or 100hz but was having odd issues where if I would run both ots and gs, I would be down 1 or so dB on sweeps. I would get louder if it was just my ots. I corrected it by putting the low pass back to 30hz. I need to learn about phases and rew.
Pardon my ignorance here as well but wouldn't having the gs match the ots say, up to 80hz, only add to the dB level? Trying to find a reason not to run higher. It seems a waste to have these big ass subs cover such a tiny little bandwidth.
Ghorn rings above 60hz so best cross before for tighter sound, it's not spl as much as transient response. The othorn on other hand excels at 60hz, lots of impact and clean output so crossing the lower ghorns to othorns is a winning combo.
Otherwise you could try to integrate with sealed subs.
Generally output above 60hz isn't the concern - as you go higher in frequency the more sensitive you are to accuracy. You can't run subs +12db hot 60hz+ like you can below 60hz, it sounds funny and worse (too boomy)
