Re: Pro-Audio Amplifier for HT Application

Take a read on this page from Rane http://www.rane.com/note110.html and you might find a solution. I have already done everything possible and it is definitely the amp itself producing the noise. I have tried with and without a power conditioner. I have tried removing the inputs and also tried bala...

Pro-Audio Amplifier for HT Application

I was planning on using the pre-amp outputs of my Yamaha RX-V667 receiver to connect three Crown XTi 1000 amplifiers to my home theater speakers. However, after much investigation and elimination, it appears that the Crown XTi amplifiers produce a hissing (white noise) sound that is audible at low v...

Well everyone keeps talking about different kinds of birch, but I don't know how to find any of those. I stopped by the Home Depot to take a look, and all it said was just birch. A single 4x8 1/2" think sheet of "birch" would cost me $29.95. I have no idea what kind it is, but I figu...

Thanks sydney.

I've been trying to search for a chart of the T39 with dual S2010s, but it doesn't seem one exists. But I wanted to know, if you dual 10" drivers, the minimum width is 22", correct?

Wow, I didn't realize I could carpet into the horn mouth, that's awesome. So basically I can carpet up it just far enough so you couldn't see any wood, and not need to paint/duratex anything?

Also, does anyone have any good links of how to carpet a cabinet?

DO NOT USE MDF, MDO, or ANYTHING other than good quality plywood, with at least 5 equal plys. MDF and MDO are composite material that will not hold up to the the strains of load cycles, and they are heavy as hell. Follow the directions. Follow the directions. Follow the directions.

Ok after reading the plans and speaking with my father, I have a few more questions. First off, my father knows everything about wood and recommended using MDO board. Would this MDO board be a good choice? Also, I noticed you showed a diagram for wiring a passive crossover, but what if I want these ...

Wow this is crazy stuff, I feel like my whole world has been flipped upside down. I will definitely start reading up on all of this tonight. Anyway, getting back to the sub I want to build. I think the Titan 39 is definitely my choice. I will probably either do the 14", 18", or 20" ve...

I'm still really confused. I thought the only thing being wired is the driver. There is no other resistive component in the sub, correct? So if the sub is rated at 4 Ohms, shouldn't I look at how much power the amp outputs at 4 Ohms per channel? I don't see how the horn is affecting the electrical c...

If the impedence isn't 4 or 8 Ohms, then how am I going to calculate what wattage my amp will provide to the sub? All the values are always given for 2, 4 and 8 Ohms. Also, how will I calculate this nominal value for my Titan 39.

Wait, i'm confused, you mean the impedence of my sub is not equal to the impedence of my driver? Now i'm really confused. All the commercial subs I have ever looked at are 8 Ohms for a single, and 4 Ohms for a double. I don't want to build a sub that's going to have some weird impedence.

I plan on paying about $200 per driver for each of the subs If you want more sensitivity, max output, and power handling, the Eminence HL10C driver might be a consideration for you. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j222/Michaelooch/Speaker%20Design/T39_HL10C-1.jpg BP102 & HL10C: http://www.emi...

And when space is limited and i'm playing in a big banquet hall or gymnasium, it seems more power is more valuable than deeper bass. +1 The answer is right there. Titans. Really only the trance guys and electronica need anything below 30-35. The 40-80 range where the titans absolutely kick ass is w...

Well before I pretty much decide on a driver, do you guys feel I made the right decision leaning towards the Titan instead of the Tuba? That was the most important question I had, because I don't think i've ever really heard bass that the Tuba can offer, so therefore I don't respect it. It seems the...
