And which crossover you have with Zenith baffle??I listen mostly in the 70's and 80's and haven't tried high volume but I'm sure they'd play loud enough if pushed hard but their power band is limited.
OB's are not for headbangers and at 100 dbs you'll be hearing baffle vibration unless they're concrete. Folks go to great lengths to curb resonance with thick sand filled baffles or layers of composite held together with exotic sound absorbing green glues. Since I don't care for loud music I've always used basic 3/4 plywood or MDF. At the levels I listen at resonance is not audible.
The Zeniths are from the 1950's and were designed to be powered by flea watt tube amps. That was the only amplification available then. I doubt they would be a good match for a powerful solid state amp.
I would definitely go with the woofers first and power them separately from the Zeniths ( bi-amp ). The tweeters that came in my Zenith console were not very good and I trashed them.
Is this crossover for all 15 drivers or only for Eminence Alpha15a?? Because I have bought Allo volt+d and I think that I will buy the upgrade woofer of Eminence, Pure Audio project a15neo finally...
