We could all benefit from having this . . .

I'll go ahead and throw in a shout out . . . I ordered a half dozen Beta 10CX drivers from Leland . . He tells me he doesn't have them in stock. :( HOWEVER, He can arrange for Eminence to go ahead and drop ship them to me. Two days later, there they are. A lot of places won't even think about drop s...

Lookin' good!

In line mode I needed gain control at 100% on the cabs to get anything other than very quiet (almost inaudible) out of the cabs. Master faders on mixer at unity. Channel strip fader pretty much at unity started to get richer bass on recorded music. Something seems outta kilter. You should be able t...

Looking at the two possible scenarios. . .If the first driver opens before it shorts, the second driver would be preserved. If, however, it shorts before it opens, the second driver could also be damaged.

But isn't the problem if one driver 'blows' closed (i.e. the wire covering melts and creates a short across the vc). Then you've got a cab that is half it's rated impedance. If the drivers are 6ohms (including the cabinet's impedance), then you've now got one 6 ohm and one 12 ohm cab. The amp will ...

FWIW, when I cut the stainless grills for the Simplexx subs I did use a metal cutting blade in the table saw. And although I got them cut, I wish now I would have done something different. It is a challenge to keep the thin, bendy grill flat on the table and tight to the fence. PLUS, you end up with...

This isn't specifically what you're asking for, but just another element of what the ordinance should address . . Zoning. The specifications should be different depending on whether it's zoned residential, commercial, or industrial. This is being done mostly to address the downtown area and will be...

It's often enough said that blowing one driver in a series wiring arrangement will suddenly change impedance, and that may lead to blowing the other driver also in series. Wouldn't blowing one driver in a series arrangement preserve the other driver as current would immediately stop flowing? . . Of...

Been too long with no progress. It's been so hot and humid lately, I come home from work and just collapse on the couch and suck up the AC. . .and suck down the IPA. :lol: I know the feeling. Although it's be decent overall this summer in Tennessee, it seems the heat and humidity always know when I...

Uh Oh . . .

Bleak . . .

Oh believe me . . they ain't gettin' junked! I fully intend to finish them, test them, maybe keep them. My brother thinks he can find another school who might be interested in getting hold of some REAL speakers for their stadium. I'm amazed at the number of schools around here that throw Peavey PR 1...

it was all a matter of time. Building Otops concurrently with the Simplexx subs was too much to get completed in the amount of time I could dedicate to the project. Had I been building them with BB it probably would have been different. The PVC adds an element of complexity that translates mostly in...
