Re: Simplexx 18 concept

Right.

I say, go for it, Zippie. Put that woofer in a Simplexx box and gain some experience. Give us a review after you have tested it in the wild. Later, down the road, you can always sell those woofers anyway, if you want to. Nothing lost, experience gained.

Back in October, 2022, a 5x5 sheet was CAD$116 at my local hardware store (genuine Baltic Birch). Last I checked it was a few dollars more.

Re: The Duc d'OrleansII

:wink: Thanks, all. I should have arranged the paragraph a bit differently. I should have said that I want to do a better job, sound wise. As for the volume that I reported, my intent was to share how loud it was, even being A-weighted! Yes, I used and exclamation point. :wink: I was surprised, most...

How many watts was the rig using...5?....10? :)
Did you happen any nulls in the bass region? I'm asking because it appears that the pairs of T48s are only 20(?)feet apart.
