2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
Looks great. I didn't realize there was a front firing mouth option on the long style.

Thanks for the comments shawn_g!
Also worth noting to any future builders of this design, the low profile variant allows you to build the 36 inch wide version but still fit it within any door whereas the normal (non low profile version) may not fit in all doors at 36 inches in the narrowest dimension.
Plus it uses less floor area...
(Although it will probably take three people to carry it!)

Nice work! Debating now if I should have made a long version.
Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
Thanks, I am definitely very happy with it.
Only need to figure out amplification now...

Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
I was already considering building a pair of 19" wide THTLP for my truck.
The only issue I had was keeping enough space at the mouth end for the horn to breathe.
But now, with the advent of the side-firing THTLP, my dilemma is solved.
Thanks for sharing this build, and taking so many pictures.

Reconsider. There's no reason to have the low frequency response of THT in a truck, assuming you're not watching DVDs. AT or Truck Tuba go as low as any music content requires, TT as loud as any sane person can stand.Ryan Sober wrote:I was already considering building a pair of 19" wide THTLP for my truck.

But seriously, I regularly listen to music that dips to the mid-20's in the basslines.
The two TTLS are great! I just want more. This truck is my toy anyway; no reason not to go big. Life is short!

Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
I'd have to see charts to prove it. Not that I'd want to listen to anything that goes that low anyway, other than movie sound effects.Ryan Sober wrote: I regularly listen to music that dips to the mid-20's in the basslines.
Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
I've heard songs on the radio that my AT couldn't quite reach with same authority as higher up the range. Once it hits 40 hz. and up, LOOK OUT!Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:I'd have to see charts to prove it.

Thanks for the comments Ryan Sober!
Could anyone tell me if using a Behringer Nu4-6000 would be a good option for two of Jim Holtz Statements II floorstanding speakers and the two THT LP?
Assuming power would be more than enough?

Many thanks for the comments!
Also, I ran some 0 to 35/35 to 0 Hz sweeps at max voltage, my sofas and coffee table tables actually moved from their initial locations. THT LP played loud and clear around 35 to 40 volts, fantastic.

Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
Nice build. Looks like the perfect size for a TV to sit on it. Is there some reason you went with the T-nuts for the driver baffle rather than the screws called for in the plans on pages 8 and 9? I'm about to start a THTLP build myself and wonder if the T-nut method would be more secure especially since the instructions call for installing and reinstalling the driver to the baffle more than once to check for surround slap.
Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
I've done it both ways, never going back to T-nuts.

Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth
that's great. The voice of experience! Care to explain why? Advantages/disadvantages when it comes to ease of installation? Does the non-Tnut method have a tendency to strip the screws in the wood with repeated installations? If not, why not?whines wrote:I've done it both ways, never going back to T-nuts.
I just noted that the older plans for the THTLP do call for T-nuts. Why the change?
