Bass Options with Oris 150 (BD-Design)

Hi,

I have recently reregistered on the forum..

I have an Oris 150 system since 2001 using Lowther EX4 (upgraded) and built the Onken bass cabinets with the Viva 10" woofers.

I have been very happy with the system but my DIY genes are stirring.

I am sure there are better bass options... my favourite route would be to recycle the Viva units into a basshorn of some sort or alternatively build basshorn cabinets for a new pair of bass drivers.. I do not want to spend too much but would be comfortable with a serious construction challenge, size is not a huge issue.

I have not kept up with developments over the past couple of years and would welcome suggestions, I would not be confident tackling design issues myself. Is there a favoured option in the community?

Thanks in advance.

Ken
