I've been contracted to do a monthly Country Music Show at the local KC Hall. It caters to mostly a 65 and up age group and is 99% old-school country. It a fun show - I was a guest on it several times a few years back.
Volume has to be kept very low and won't even have drums in the mix. However, the stage is really wide and room is wide. Putting subs in the middle won't work - they'd be so far away from the mains, that I think they would be very noticeable to the folks right in front of 'em at such low volumes.
So, I'm splitting subs. They will end up being over 50 feet apart. I really don't want to use speaker stands and stacking them on the T39s will be too low.........thus, it's time to come up with a solution.
Thought about just building some short stands out of 2x4s to sit on top of the subs, cut I didn't like the amount of space they would take up to store and pack.
I'll be using my two T39s that are 22 inches wide - same as the OT12s. Although this could be re-designed for different width cabs...
So, here's my solution.....
Cut out 8 panels (4 for each stand). Designed in both feet (to get clearance from the tophat in the OT12) and tabs outside the feet to keep it locked onto the speakers. Then put three piano hinges so that it can fold flat.
You can see the tabs and feet here.
