In light of sensitivity learning.....which?
So on PETT I asked some questions about sensitivity and comb filtering and learned a fair amount. I have two ideas in mind and want to make sure I'm not missing anything before I go and make a decision.
I have equivalent prices for parts, so budget isn't a question.
My latest BT radio idea is a party boombox. SPL is foremost the consideration. Box size next. I'm aiming to have full range coverage (within about 3m), and obviously fidelity is near the end of the list of concerns (without sounding like a stick against a garbage can). Will be a 2.1 setup.
The .1 will be the sb20 4 ohm woofer and the amp is a 2.1 amp off amazon with BT built in. I'll be making a battery pack with voltage of at least 14V, more like 19-22V.
So....All this to get to this.....
The two setups I'm considering for L-R are a single PRV 6MR500 or three Faital 3fe22 16R in a large radius curved array. Again, not tooooooo concerned about fidelity, and was hoping to be able to go without too in depth of a crossover on the array if I could (the PRV I was going to run wide open full range).
Is there anything else I need to consider in the sensitivity department I am missing other than the obvious SPL characteristics? Seeing my desires for the system, which would you lean toward? I'm not concerned about the building, that's the easier part for me. And which ever I choose will be operating from 150-200 on up, so no bass per say.
I would just roll with the project and not worry about it if the cost wasn't so high but would like to best prepare at the price I'll be spending.
Thanks guys, I really value your opinions.
Forgot to mention, PRV has sensitivity of 96db, the three Faital supposedly around 97.5.

John, I was planning on just using a full range, no tweeter unless you think an 8 could do it or think I should go tweeter.....
Also, trying to keep overall enclosure size to under 1.25 cubes.....
Dan
Whaddya think of that? the TF0818... with what tweeter though?
