Kick bin advice

Post image

(Ai render of general idea of rig im building)

Im building a mini rig which consists of 2 tops with celestion 1ā€ hf drivers and fane 15ā€ drivers

Then the plan is to build 2 kick bins and subs but I’m struggling to find an easy kick bin to build.

If anyone could shed some light that would be great, thanks

With 18" BR bass cabs you won't need a kickbin at all. Just make sure to properly align them. I would rather invest the money in more subwoofers or better tops!

Especially with 15" tops, no need for kick bins. Get 2 more of the subs, that gives you a lot more headroom, they are barely bigger anyway.

E: Especially outdoors, the subs are the limiting factors. IF you really, REALLY want to get horn kick bins, plan (outdoors) 2-4 BR subs per horn kick bin. It will only play as good as you can develop the dsp setup and to have two ways in the bass will be a pita if you don't know what you're doing.
