Re: Radian's T48 slim build

The Hex costs four times what expanded metal does, and doesn't work any better.

Re: Happy 4th of July!

Brand doesn't matter, but you want 48v with a minimum 500w motor. If you're a decent bike mechanic, able to adjust spokes, change brake pads and so forth you can order on-line, but if not buy local. I have 2-1/2" tires, which are good for all around use. Wider is only beneficial for off-trail. ...

Re: Simplexx 18 concept

You can load S18s with 2268s. The specs are OK. They weren't a recommended driver because they weren't cost effective.

8mm xmax isn't anything special. You're better off with a T48 or T60.

Get an E-Bike and you can ride to the gym. Really, it's great. No impact, no stress, and riding around is fun, as opposed to a stationary bike, which is work.

Re: Happy 4th of July!

Get an E-Bike. You still pedal for the exercise, using just enough electric assist to keep it comfortable, especially on hills. I ride mine 2k miles a year. If go to the store it's on my bike, going to the doctor, dentist optometrist, whatever. I'm about to head out now for my daily ten mile ride. B...

Re: $50 off $250 PE Discount Code and piezo question

The response of the WH6 is anything but flat, so at least 5 bands of EQ are a must. I can't recommend using a T18 with electric bass even for practice, due to the very wide dynamic range, unless you have a compressor to control that.

Re: $50 off $250 PE Discount Code and piezo question

GRS makes good drivers so I'd say they're worth a shot. As for the impedance piezos are capacitive, not resistive, so they're high impedance. That spec is wrong.

If you end up with veneered plywood use screws to be sure the glue joint can't delaminate.

Re: Anyone have Crown CTS series experience?

Regarding the dual/bridge switch, when you bridge two channels you double the voltage compared to one channel, but also double the minimum impedance load. That's why it says 'Dual mode is used for 2/4/8 ohms... Bridge mode is used for 4/8/16 ohms'.

If you donate a build no worries. If you sell it the buyer needs to buy plans, or you need to be authorized.
