Now wiping coffee of my screen and keyboard. Thanks for the laugh, Seth

What mixer are you using and what is the band typically mixed on?

You have the dimensions. Google (or chatGPT) how to calculate the volume with the dimensions you have.

Nice. Well done! (as usual)

Unless they're digitally produced sine wave bass notes and are actually hotter in the mix than every other sound, the gauge won't give you anything of value other than entertainment and enjoyment of watching it bounce around like a Hooters marathon team. For setting up the limiter, it could be handy...

Looks the same as the BB in my neighborhood with the outer layers slightly thinner than the inner, but not a paper thin cosmetic veneer. However, my eye's aren't the best.

Love the idea. I used Douglas Fir for similar reasons, but ultimately wanted Poplar which was way too expensive. I've seen threads over the years where people built a T39 out of 3/8 ply with good results. Lot's of options to reduce weight. Give it a go and please keep us posted. Thanks for taking on...

A little food for thought: The only reason to ever build a dual loaded cab is if you need to wire the drivers in series to create a 16Ω cab. Otherwise, it is always advisable to build two separate cabs. Dual loaded cabs offer no advantages over two single loaded cabs of half the width. Yet, two sing...

I suppose, if you were able to book a gig somewhere like a high school, church, or sweet sixteen birthday party you might be able to contact a local DJ to do the show. It could be a good opportunity for some of the other local guys to hear your system and maybe they'd call you if they got a gig beyo...

My existing powered mains (QSC k10.1) tend to sound to loud in some spots and not loud enough in others. Depending where these spots are, it could also be a function of comb-filtering. If they're off axis, left and right, dispersion. Anywhere between the speakers, comb-filtering or just plain room ...

The width of the cab/array/drivers has a direct relationship with the off axis response, dispersion. It's the only contributing factor between the the differing dispersion angles of the QSC K12, K10, and K8. It's also why the column arrays (not just Bose) are so popular with karaoke... more of the f...

100% agree with Bruce on all accounts.

Having lived in California for most of my life, I've experienced quite a few in my time and I'd say a magnitude 5.6 is about spot on for your system. Well done mate, well done.

Hi Nick. Do you have the plans yet? The required parameters and a list of several known acceptable drivers are listed in the plans. It's super common for people to want to use other drivers that aren't the one's listed in the plans, so you're not alone. My advice would be to start with and use the l...

Wyland, I'm not entirely understanding. Are you saying two cabs that are as nearly identical as they can be, are measuring differing phase responses and therefore aren't 100% coupling? Or, is it the tweeters to the mid drivers phase response? If it's cab to cab, I'm curious what primary contributing...
