I envy your builds, but not all that wiring. What's the boss think? Compared to some of the builds on here- there is nothing to envy, but I'll take it! The wiring, while all soldered, was actually not too bad. My dad was an electrician(until retirement at a young 78) and I worked with him when he n...

Also a big thanks to the others who commented! It was a labor of love! I've had them in the house for 1.5 days and I'm in LOVE with them!

Beautiful job. The price you'd pay for commercial equivalents would probably require taking out a second mortgage. With regard to putting the high and low pass filters on different boards, there are two reasons for that. One is to lessen the possibility of a wiring mistake. The other is to insure t...

OK...ok. So I hooked them up last night(finally) and played around with the settings in my pre-amp to get them all ready to fire up. I am powering them with an Outlaw Audio 770 home theater amp. Signal is from an Outlaw Audio 990 pre/pro. It's an older preamp, but gets me through until I decide what...

All said- the build took a little longer than I thought it would, but I was really taking my time to get everything perfect. I was going to do black duratex or something similar, and my lady-friend said that if they are gonna be seen...."Shouldn't they be beautiful?".....so she picked out ...

All the drivers were mounted(with speaker gasket tape from P.E. between the driver and the baffle) so that the miles of wiring could commence! 20190918_184957 copy.jpg ....and commence it did! 20190930_130337 copy.jpg 20190930_130348 copy.jpg My first attempt at a crossover. All soldering was done o...

As the boxes on the THLAs were drying, I went to work on the box for the Curved SLA. 20190917_144628 copy.jpg 20190918_154507 copy.jpg Once the glue was dry on the TLAHs - I took the plunge and applied the veneer! A little nerve wracking, but it all worked out ok. IMG_20190916_104243 copy.jpg I purp...

Hey all! I posted my 30" THT build a few weeks ago- and am finally getting around to posting the pictures from my L/C/R channel build! If you have any questions- please just ask! DSC_0046_2644 copy.jpg Forstner bit used for the tweeter holes, and a 1/4" up-cut spiral bit in a router with a...

No measurement equipment, and am waiting to do a full review once the TLAHs and Curved SLA are finished. Also looking into a minidsp to handle all of the channels(and 2 x subs). Then I will worry about room EQ-ing. For now, it sounds great. I guess "effortless" is the word I'll use? I have...

Well, in that case - ya' done good! I've never seen real speakons cheap on Amazon.....and I buy tons of stuff there. XLRs either - I just use PE for all connectors now....just got in 50 XLRs last week.... 50?! Wowza! I aspire to need to order in bulk like that for audio equipment someday. I do cust...

My 1 test song for any of my stereo equipment, when I get it, is:
Uninvited - Alanis Morissette

Stunning voice, full orchestra, piano, thundering bass....It has it all. Top to bottom!

I went with 90-degree male) super cheap for a 4-pack on amazon. Saved me a few bucks. Careful with those super cheap knock-off speakons. Often, they are too tight in the jack or break. Stick with Neutrik - they are perfect every time. But don't buy 'em on Amazon - they are always twice as expensive...

Can't wait to see the build! I Just finished mine(actually 1 thread before this one from what I can see!). I found speakon connectors(male and female....I went with 90-degree male) super cheap for a 4-pack on amazon. Saved me a few bucks. Just drilled the holes, installed the wiring, and PL the insi...

Nice job! Looking forward to a review! . Best money I've spent in a long time. And as I said in the first post here....I'm officially hooked on DIY! :hyper: :clap: I hope you bought the CD of plans! :lol: I really wish I had seen the option to do that before I bought the THT....then TLAH...then Cur...

Nice job! Looking forward to a review! Thanks sir! I have no measurement gear, or an "audiophile" ear. I know the sound that I like....and this thing is IT. Clean, loud, low and effortless. I'm in love, and am already planning another one for the opposite corner of the room. I've played a...
