Re: 2026 Baltic Birch Pricing in WV

Check out FB marketplace for local(ish) deals, just watch out for / ask about veneer faced. Cabinet shops seem to be selling a lot of bigger scraps from jobs at very low prices. Those would at least be good for smaller panels and braces, leaving you only to pay the big bucks for the large outer pane...

Re: Which Eminence 18" Pro PA

I was going to point that out and forgot. With THOSE stats so close, higher power means higher output? I thought the beauty of the whole line of BFM *horns* was that they didn't NEED high powered drivers? I'm not arguing: I'm trying to clarify for myself. (Also, is there a term for the product of Xm...

Re: Which Eminence 18" Pro PA

6mm xmax isn't very good. It limits you to 350w. If you want to go all out there's the LaVoce SAF184.03. 13mm xmax allows it to take 1,000w. Power is a concern / priority? I thought output was dictated by cab design and Sd x Xmax? Lavoce: Maximum Linear Excursion (Xmax) 13mm Surface Area of Cone (S...

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

Mark your cut lines, tape over them with masking or painter's tape, lay your ruler/ meter stick on the line, clamp it in place, and pre-score it with an exacto razor blade. Doesn't have to be much: 0.5- 1mm should suffice. Score the tape in place with a thumbnail etc for good adherence. Then cut wit...

Re: TAT Build

It LOOKS like the top, forward corner where it first interrupts the seat reclining angle could be trimmed down a bit, so long as the new angled throat dimension remains greater than the preceeding smaller throat area. (Titans have angled corner bracing there.) Trimming with commensurate polyurethane...

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

I stand corrected. Although, the times I've seen and purchased "cabinet grade" plywood were when I had driven 2 hours to get to a lumber supplier that obviously sells to tradesmen, ACTUAL cabinet makers. 60" x 60" sheets.

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

A key term to keep an eye out for is "cabinet grade". While it's no guarantee that some merchant won't use that term inaccurately, it usually indicates high grade, no voids, no "football" hole patches, no thin veneer.

Re: Mobile Pro Sound Set Up

"I wonder what that T30 chart would look like with a Lab 12? I know the sensitivity would go down, but I'd bet it would be lower." The cabinet dictates the response regarding extension. Diff drivers may give more dB AT said extension, but the bottom end is what the horn length provides. Th...

Radian- a friend of mine lives out there (Green Valley) and I need to get out to visit her while she has her health. Do you set up much out there? Love to come see / hear your system!

Re: 2 titan 48s loaded with sb audience Nero 15s tearing the place apart

I played for friends at a very solid stone masonry building that had a 1980's drop ceiling. (One 18" wide Titan-48, corner loaded.) As the night wore on and the music got louder we noticed it was snowing inside. Snowing decades old dust from ABOVE the suspended panels. Another night at a differ...
