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.

Re: WH10 CD vs Peizo

You can do that. I didn't bother as the somewhat higher sensitivity and wider dispersion tends to be not an issue when used as a floor wedge.

They have response close enough that it wouldn't be an issue.

Re: SPEAKON Wiring

The 2+/2- are there to allow running a single 4 conductor cable to the subs from the amps, and then run cables from the subs to the mains, with the mains using 2+/2-.

Re: Industry Standards to Turn Everything On/Off

I didn't mention it before but there is another reason for not turning everything on at once. Every device has a high current surge at turn on, until the filter caps charge up. Individually it's not a concern, but with multiple devices it can be enough to pop the supply breaker. Since power amps hav...
