If you are planning to use this rig for small gigs, (and I guess you are from the power rating) you would be better off with smaller cab system probably reflex of semi-horn loaded bass and a shallow horn mid and treble. In a smaller venue, with only the one set of cabs per side, your biggest problem will be getting decent coverage. W bins are ok if you use them in multiples, but bass end suffers if used alone. If the mid is too standard a horn loading you will find the sound changes dramatically across the room. Have a look at the smaller "club" systems from people like DB accoustics, and you will see what I mean. They have a good reputation for designing compact powerfull systems. The Mackie 450 is another example of a good club system. Add to this a decent sub, and you have a very resectable system. After building your system, if you go with the W bins, I think you will regret it both with size, weight, and sound.
