Re: Carvin 1584 Blown Tweeter replaced with Flat Array

You probably won't damage them but they won't work as well as they would with the correct high pass filter.

Re: Carvin 1584 Blown Tweeter replaced with Flat Array

The high pass for the original compression driver won't work with piezos. They'll function, but the high pass filter isn't doing anything.

Re: 2x THTLP build after a 10 year hiatus

The point of trying different positions is to smooth room modes, so that means taking measurements at different listening positions in the room.

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

It's recommended to use multiple pieces as doing it in one piece wastes a lot of wood.

Re: 2x THTLP build after a 10 year hiatus

In that situation placing the mouths close together may not work as well as separating them, so experiment. 15s won't get more extension, only more output via more Vd, and I seriously doubt that more output is required.

Re: 2 DR280's vs 3 DR250's

I'd say they'd be pretty similar in the lows, with the high frequency advantage going to the three DR250.

Re: Autotuba questions - drivers and box width

The width range for one driver is 15 to 20 inches, so the range for 2x10 is 30 to 40 inches. There's nothing to be gained by using a third driver. There is also nothing to be gained spending big bucks or having to make modifications using auto sound drivers that are optimized for use in a small seal...

Re: Omni 15 full range build x2

Top 8s along with a T39 would put most clubs to shame.

Re: WH10 CD vs Peizo

Looks good, if there's enough clearance to fit the HF driver.

Re: Omni 15 full range build x2

You can use them for this, but I wouldn't. Separate subs and mains work better, as it allows optimal placement of each, which is almost never in the same place.

Re: Separating Overlapping Frequencies

You don't need high tech to see the room response, just a phone. Use C weighting, slow response. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... n_US&pli=1

Re: Separating Overlapping Frequencies

You need a board with EQ on every channel. The female voice is most prominent from 500-1000 Hz, as is our hearing sensitivity, so bumping her channel there will bring her up in the mix, with perhaps some boost around 3 kHz. Cutting the guitar in those same frequencies will help as well.
