Thanks Tom. Stepped away from gigging amd pro sound, pretty much music in general. I think this brutal winter had me bored and I started thinking about my old album collection gathering dust. Got the itch to go analog and here I am.

Ok, so you're saying run side one to the sub and then on to the mid/top, and then run the other mid/top direct to the amp? Wouldn't that put a 4-ohm load (given 8ohm cabs) on one side an 8 on the other with no crossover? No, because you still need a crossover between the sub and the main, which is ...

Thanks all for the welcome. Sorry to hear about Harley's dad, but glad he's still kicking. We had a blast when he and his son came over for a visit. I took him to the Motown Museum. When the tour got to the studio, they offered to let people stand behind the mics and sing 'My Girl'. I really had to ...

That scares me.

Assuming my receiver is summed, how would I connect it and the tops?

I'm the proud new pappa of a 1976 Pioneer SX-650. Currently running some older cabs I had laying around unused for years and years, some Sony bookshelf and a Optimus down-firing 12" sub. They actually sound halfway decent after I installed new drivers, but I'm pretty sure I could do better. I'm...

Wow it's been a long time! My profile says my last post was in 2007, not sure that's accurate, it also says I have 147 posts. I think I used to do that in one day! Really cool to see Leland still here. Sorry to say none of the other builder's names look familiar to me. I do wonder what happened to H...

I should said "it's very difficult to get an accurate cut when plunging with an angled blade." I don't have a set of Omni plans, so I can't answer your question. Is it perhaps because the saw is set at a 90 deg angle to the cut itself? You can do a plunge cut like that. The biggest problem...

So far I haven't made a single mess. The instructions say that mineral spirits will take PL off when it's wet. Before I start gluing, I dampen a rag with it and leave it set. If I get anything on a tool, a quick wipe and it's done. When I'm done gluing, I wipe off the tip of the gun and the 16 penny...

You can't do a plunge cut with an angled blade. You'd have to introduce the material to the blade at the same angle.

For the100% expanding polyurethane glues and there was a recommendation - that for quicker curing and a better joint, you dampened the surfaces to be glued. Yup. Gorilla Glue and the Elmer's poly version both make that recommendation. And it's a good alternative to working in dry conditions in the ...

Wiping the surface with a damp rag will work too. On a plywood edge, a little more than damp is good.

I have to sort of spread it with my finger (gloves of course) to get it out of the worm shape and onto the wood. If it's sticking to the wood in the 'worm shape', leave it, don't spread it out. It will compress and form a perfect seal when you attach the pieces. If it's not sticking, then I'd say s...

These work really well too. They're extremely accurate.
