Yeah. What he said.

Hey dogger, nice to see you making sawdust. I hope you realize how addictive this can become? :twisted: I've only been hummin' and hawin' since January! Still haven't decided what to do for a big rig, but I knew I wanted a small grab and go cab and figured the Jack would be just the ticket. Ordered...

So, I finally got off my butt and started building. Got about half way through a Jack 110 yesterday and am just about ready to build the diffraction horn. I'm wondering if anyone has advice about painting the horn. It occurred to me that it might be wise to paint some of the bits before assembly- ma...

So how DID you do those cool letters on the Titans? Are they routed somehow? The effect looks fantastic in the photos.

Yes please.

I just got home and see a brown truck has dropped off a few boxes from parts express. That combined with the fact that I've taken the next couple of weeks off work means I'll be able to make some saw dust.

Excellent timing. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

No real scheme, except to make the O15Sub two boxes instead of one. This time, I'm going to try 3/8" BB, with 1/4" bracing, no access panels, and move the horn into the center of the cabinet where the horn itself will a be big brace. I figure each should be about 35 lbs, which is good eno...

this summers project is to redo it all by building a modular 2 piece lightweight O15Sub and DR250. Hey WB: This sounds like an interesting project. I remember you mentioning somewhere in the forum that you were using an O15 sub and and OT12. I'd love to know what you're thinking as I'm still bangin...

Hiding amongst the farms and trees, near St. Thomas.

That sounds nice. BTW, I'd love to get the heads up if you're giggin' the Navy Club again!

That's why amps come with tone controls. :bash: I figured this might be coming my way. :wink: The EQ thing occured to me after I went to bed. I have a 10 band EQ on my head, so should be good to go. Some people think quickly on their feet. I, on the other hand, need to think a bit more before posti...

OUCH!!! Now my poor, newbie head is spinning. On closer inspection, in response to the question just wondering how much of a differance there would be as far as sound with the new 3012lf in the omni12tb Bill stated... No change in the sound, but a 6dB increase in woofer output capacity. I guess that...

Just had an "AHA!" moment. I didn't realize that the O12 charts are for a cab loaded with the Delta 12LF, NOT the new Kappalite 3012LF. In a post in early February, Bill stated that the new monster 12 will add 6db to the low end of the O12. That changes things significantly. Thanks to ever...

Is there PA support for the band or are you alone for bass production?

At the moment it's just me and my lonesome on the bottom end. We aren't gigging at the moment, but there is the possibility. I realize that if we start playing out, there'll have to be some PA support.

A little clarification:

When I say I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck, I'm referring to building a high sensitivity cab that I can power with my existing amp, as opposed to building a smaller, less efficient radiator design utilizing the Kappalite LF drivers and buying a bigger power amp.

Hi guys: I've been glued to these forums for the last week or two. Fantastic info- I've learned a lot. I'm trying to up-grade my bass rig and get the most bang for my buck. For power, I'm running a Yorkville Y400B which is supposed to deliver 300 watts @ 8ohms and 400 watts @ 4ohms, which is its min...
