Re: Cheap TLAH drivers

I might have outdated plans (2014), as I didn't see it. I'll just email you privately about them. Cheers!

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers

SLA comes in 4 mids 6 tweets, or 6 mids 9 tweeters configs.

I don't see (in my plans) one with only 2 drivers (or it is a matter of just building half)?

If so, 2 mids, no tweeters, and firing directly 90 degrees up? For SLA as surrounds?

:(

Though recent in the forum, I've been lurking for 10 years. Grant's posts were always helpful. He has been a mainstay here.

Rest in peace. And thank you for everything.

Re: THT (or THTLP) in ceiling?

The main constraint here is the WAF. I already have a THTLP (30" width), and it looks good as a console table behind the sofa (also probably not the OPTIMAL place sonically, but passed the WAF, and passed it with flying colors! - see my build thread, there on my signature). I was allowed anothe...

Re: THT (or THTLP) in ceiling?

As I already have a THT LP, this (or "these" if I build more) would be supplemental. The guy in the video tried to find the best place, but then also hit physical constraints (some rafter in the way or something). So, I might have some limitations as well, but the primary purpose of adding...

THT (or THTLP) in ceiling?

I have a THTLP ( https://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26504 ) I want to add one (or two?) more to the ceiling, like this guy (minute 32 of the video). https://youtu.be/l5N1L_6wob4?si=_y2xjyi4wsolaMif&t=1920 Like him, the reason is so I can keep empty space in the living room, and n...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

Aside from aesthetics, no other real updates; no vibration on wood when tested. The only thing to report (though this was a couple of weeks back) - when I removed the cover from the "rear" (well rear of the driver) so I could properly stick the faux vinyls, when I put it back, the subwoofe...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

Picked up the wood topper from the pier ("Xanthostemon verdugonianus, commonly known as mangkono or Philippine ironwood")

Re: THT with other subs

Or... How about a 32" wide THTLP with 15" driver with a minimum width 15" THTLP with a 12" driver?

Difference in widths (which I read shouldn't be a problem), but different sized drivers as well.

Re: THT with other subs

Will a minidsp 2x4HD work in making a THT and TT play along nicely with each other?

THT with other subs

In my build thread of a THTLP, I said I might build a Table Tuba (or other sub, maybe even a T18) to complement the THTLP - fill in room nulls and all that. Someone said not to mix the THTLP with something smaller. I do remember Bill saying not to try to mix (or EQ) the THT with other subs (ie, regu...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

Please let us know if items on top of the table vibrate or move when the sub is in use. I can tell you now - the cab hardly vibrates, even at very loud volumes. I mean, it does, of course - but nothing gets rattled off the cab. I would not be afraid to put wine glasses on top of it. I haven't crank...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

Stuck the vinyl stickers (2mm vinyl faux wood stickers) to the sides. Didn't bother finishing the bottom most part, as it will be covered by the sofa (in fact, I could have stopped halfway, but I already had the faux wood stickers). The top part is still a mock up (just placed the extra vinyl sticke...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

Good looking build! THT and TT should not be in the same room. Perhaps make a couple of narrow THTs. I know that Bill mentioned not trying to EQ other subs with the THT because they wouldn't be able to keep up. Even Table Tubas? I'm already satisfied with the bass of the THTLP, but just wanted to h...

Re: THT LP in the Philippines

They say most of the time, the most aesthetic place to put it (or at least the spouse will make complaining noises about) may not sonically be the best. I have plans to make two more, but likely Table Tubas (long style so I can stand them up) to even out room nodes, but really, this one already soun...
