Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

Hi all, I think we finally have this BFM system dialed in pretty close. We ended up moving things a bit, and now have two arrays, left and right, with three OTop 12s each, with the 3012HO and NSD:2005 in the OTops, bi-amped. We stuck the subs left and right, about 57 feet apart, and recessed them in...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

Hey, that's great! Do you have before and after pictures? Yes! Sorry for the delay... Now that's we're "done" (for now at least), I've only been there on Sundays instead of every night of the week. Here are a few pics (not super-good quality because of low light, so sorry): Here's the lef...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

Well, I'm pretty terrible at build threads. Between business travel and vacation, I was out for some of the build, and our guys went gangbusters and finished the T48s up before I got back. So, that said, I've spent the past two weeks installing the system, reading, watching YouTube, asking other mem...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

I spent a good part (all) of the evening putting in the dampening material. I've got to say, I think this step is the one I've enjoyed the LEAST! I added some gasket tape to the back bracing to get a good seal as well.

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

I've been out-of-town for a long weekend biz trip, but we've made some more progress the past few weeks. We finished all the internals--bracing, back cover bracing, etc.--filled holes, sanded edges, all that fun stuff. I decided to put down a few coats of primer just in case I missed any holes and f...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

We finished installing the braces, but I don't have pics for that (not super sexy anyhow), and also started working on the compression horns in the meantime, which are buckets of fun. https://i.imgur.com/VW7NSMW.jpg We also started putting the horn sheaths on. Rookie mistake/inattention to detail: c...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

I forgot to take pics, but I installed the t-nuts in all the cabs today (wouldn't be very sexy pics anyhow). I ordered a bag of industrial gym t-nuts--the kind used for rock climbing walls--from Escape Climbing Holds (https://www.escapeclimbing.com/product/industrial-gym-t-nut/). Those suckers are H...

Re: OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

Ohhh, so jealous of the CNC'd panels. Still working my way slowly getting my 4 j-array's built. Routered out the speaker baffles last week, still need to cut the woofer spacers and then I'll be about ready to start assembly. Good luck with the build, keep the updates and pics coming - can't wait fo...

OTop 12 J Array x6 Build

Hi all, I'm back, and we're FINALLY starting our build! For those who missed my long thread: Help with a church sound setup . Here's what we decided for our build: 6 - OTop 12 J Arrays to start, loaded with the 3012HO and NSD:2005, bi-amped. 2 - T48s, 30" wide, loaded with the 3015LF. I did end...
