Very impressive work. Good planning pays off!

Awesome! Thanks the tips, everyone!

I'll post pics when I get the first one done and you can tell me what I can do better!

:shock: :lol: Sooooo . . . Parts Express finally got me all my caps and coils I ordered at the end of November for the SLA crossovers. I've done some soldering in the past, but never with an kind of sensitive parts. I have a digitally controlled soldering iron now, so I'm hoping my tendency to overh...

Still kind'a confused......if it's hidden by the screen, what does it matter? Or, is this screen not always there? Ah, that would be confusing! The screen is a tab-tensioned roll up. The room is the living room and the wall it is on is the first thing you see when you walk through the front door. T...

Thus, the main reason for the Curve Array here is to hide the center speaker as part of the mantel. I could change to the 9/9 Curve Array and make the mantel wider if the sound quality would be better. The depth of the SLA shouldn't be more that the depth of the curved array, so why wouldn't it fit...

With a screen you should use another vertical SLA for the center. There's no reason to use a CurveArray there. Sorry I did mention this earlier but one of the primary goals of this part of the project (other than really good sound) is to get the speakers to be fairly unnoticed and blend with the de...

Thanks everyone for the feedback and ideas for the subs. I will take all of this into consideration once I move forward with building subs of one type or another. Right now I'm slowly working on getting the LCR SLAs designed for the front stage. Please take a look at the attached picture of my CAD m...

Well, it looks like I will be building a pair of Tuba 18s afterall. I had a pair MCM 55-2421 drivers on my wish list for Christmas and I got them. No matter how things go, I figure doing the smaller Tuba 18s will be good practice before trying the larger THTLS. And maybe I'll like the smaller cabine...

OK, loving the feedback and ideas! If I were to get one of the Behringer amps, a fan swap will happen. I'm familiar enough with that type of equipment that would be no problem. The Dayton Audio plate amps are also a very attractive option. I'm definitely going to keep them in mind, especially if it ...

Crossover notes: I will be following the crossover recommendations as closely as I can based on available materials. As far as I can tell, these are 3rd order Butterworth passive crossovers (-18dB rolloff) shooting for a 4K crossover point between the high and low pass filters. I got some PartsExpr...

This is the beginning point . . . SLA for Home Theater Left and Right SLA 6 bass/9 tweeter; Center 6 bass/6 tweeter The drivers: •Bass: Dayton Audio PC105-8 •Tweeter: Visaton SC5-8 Shielded 1/2" Polycarbonate Tweeter These will be driven by an BasX A3 Three-Channel Power Amplifier . I already o...

Awesome! Thank you, Bill!

Hi Everyone! I'm working towards building the Short Line Arrays for my LCR home theater speakers and I have a couple of questions. (LR SLA's will be the 6 bass/9 tweeter versions; the center channel SLA will be the 6 bass/ 6 tweeter version.) 1) When positioning the speakers for the left and right c...
