Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

I checked with several carpet retailers in my area and none were interested in selling anything but massive rolls of anything. Had I known that 1/4" felt could work at the time, I would've bought that instead of foam. Maybe I can make an exchange since I haven't yet used the foam. Otherwise, I'...

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Below is the link to my SLA Pro build......go down to the 5th page. That's where I have the padding. I just went to a carpet store and asked if I could get some of their throw aways.....I think I might have paid 'em 5 bucks for a bunch of it. https://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25887...

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

I was able to find 1/4" felt locally, but it was expensive and I've already spent a lot of money of this project. Instead, I found a shop willing to sell me a large cutoff of 1/2" carpet padding. I know it's not ideal, but it'll have to do. I also stopped at an audio repair shop to pick up...

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

I'm planning to start on a set of SLA Pros this weekend while I wait for yet another Parts Express order to arrive (one crossover resister is backordered for about a month). First, however, I have a couple questions: 1. I'm not able to find the recommended 1/2" felt online at a price I'm willin...

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Ha! I'd originally selected those two, but my limited knowledge of electronics made me second guess myself. Thanks for your help.

Can someone confirm if these are suitable resistors for the SLA high pass? https://www.parts-express.com/Jantzen-33.00-Ohm-10-Watt-Audio-Grade-Superes-Resistor-255-957?quantity=1 https://www.parts-express.com/Jantzen-3.90-Ohm-10-Watt-Audio-Grade-Superes-Resistor-255-948?quantity=1 If not, I'm open t...

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Fair enough -- especially with the cost of plywood these days. So, is there a huge difference between 21" and 24" given the greater Xmax of the LaVoce 10s and the fact that I'm building four cabinets?

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Cool. Do you have any opinion on my 19.5" internal width question? I'm trying to avoid another harrowing drive with plywood lashed to my van, if possible.

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Yup, pack space is one of the deciding factors for now. Do you happen to know if the LaVoce SSF102.50L is an option for the T39 design (I don't have the plans)? If so, I can just repurpose the drivers when I'm ready to move up.

Re: Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

Thanks to both of you for your advice. T39s are on my radar, but for now I need to keep the subs as small and light as possible. As such, I've ordered a second pair of the LaVoce 10s and plan to use two or four as needed. How much of a performance hit would I take by building the Tubas at less than ...

Jack 10s and Tuba 24s?

I just purchased the Tuba 24 plans and have two LaVoce SSF102.50L drivers arriving this week. My current plan is to use them along with my old-style Jack 10s (with tweeters) as the core of a basic PA for small/medium events (duos, full bands, DJ stuff, etc.), and I chose them for their size/weight a...

Re: Coffee House PA Advice Needed

That's a cool idea. I wish I'd thought of that ;-) Since my original posting, I've actually decided to take a somewhat different approach after considering what other people are using for these low volume gigs and realizing that the Jack 10s I built aren't really all that "imposing" when c...

Re: "Difficult" Venue PA Advice Needed

Ah, I see where I made my mistake. I was thinking of the SLA Pro as being akin to the other tops in that it could be used individually or as part of a line array when, in fact, the SLA Pro is the line array. Forgive my newbieness. What I was hoping to achieve was something similar to the CurvedArray...
