Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

Ooops, corner loaded, yes. Didn't see that. ;) Even the low <30 hz frequencies are pretty much my max, and it gets louder from there. Two would be serious over kill in just about any room in a normal house. I'm talking with the DVC driver. Did I mention that stuff on OTHER floors vibrate when this t...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

I would try one and see how you like it! You can always build more. I mean, it would be more efficient to make three at a time, but it will still take you much longer to build three than to build one. You have two T30s, so lets compare the T30 to the THT so you know. Ooops, can't find a T30 loaded w...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

Just decide on one and go. You could be done by the end of the weekend if you don't think about it too much! The TLAHs work great, plus are cheap and easy to make. I have my THT nearly maxed at some points, but the TLAHs are pretty much just coasting. Make sure a 30" will fit around the corners...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

I have a Crown XTI powering the THT. For some reason, the XTI wont let you set filters down below 20hz. What is up with that? To get around it, I made one filter at 20 with a Q of 4 for +15db, which boost a large frequency range around 20. Then I made a filter at 22 hz with a Q of 12 and a cut of -1...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

You can, but what you'll mainly get is more harmonic output an octave to two octaves higher than the actual tones. Which, as I said before, is what you're hearing now. As for what's down below 20Hz there are many devices capable of responding to output down there. Your ears aren't among them. If yo...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

It only took you 8 hours to build the THT. It took me three weeks to build mine. I guess i'm slow. Even 3 weeks is good compared to some! You can feel 10 and 15 Hz, but you can't hear it. That's because wavelengths in excess of roughly 50 feet long pass right through your body as easily as through ...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

I know exactly what you mean about the party trick...You think youre not getting below 20hz? "WATCH THIS!" :hyper: :D I can play sines at 10 and 15 hz, but they are much less loud than at 20 hz. 20 hz at full blast will rock, but 15 and 10 -- is much milder. I have it going through a Crow...

Re: THT + TLAH = AWESOME

nice work Andreas. How did you end up positioning it? I am in a small room right now of approx 12x10x9. I have it in the only corner it can go in (3 other doors) - flush on one wall and about 18" from the other. From the room dimensions you can probably surmise that I sit about 4 feet from the...

THT + TLAH = AWESOME

I built a couple of TLAHs for fronts a couple of weeks ago. I have the review in a separate thread. I plan on making another for a center once I get an audio transparent screen for my projector (using an O10.5 for center currently). I also plan on making TLAHs for surrounds with less drivers. I fini...

Re: TLAHs with JVC 3x5s and 1016 piezos

One mistake I made was that I probably put too much spacing between the woofers. I know it's a bigger deal with the high frequencies so I just went with it. I didn't want to post pics for that reason....but since you asked. Pics and CNC video are on this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showth...

TLAHs with JVC 3x5s and 1016 piezos

These were really easy to build. I did a left and right in maybe 6 hours. Ok, so I used a CNC router to cut the baffles. I did that because I'm going to try some shorter ones with 4 woofers/tweeters for surrounds. It would have taken less time to just use a jigsaw! I went with 8 of the JVCs, but the...

Re: THT's and dubstep

Nice report.

I've been listening to some dubstep after hearing about it from some of the BFM crowd. Some of the sounds are just crazy even with my modest current system. I can't wait to hear it with a THT! :chainsaw:

Re: Hi! Almost done with O10.5 using CNC

I'm going to use the Kappalite 3012LF. As I understand, that is the best driver for the T39. I don't think it makes sense to go through all the trouble of building the cab if you aren't going to put something good inside. Let's see, 10+ hours to build it, but I'll save $50 on the driver and get half...
