Thanks for sharing the story, Bruce. Keep my info if you're ever in DFW in case things hit the fan. I'm a one man show but may have gear that can serve as backup.. I appreciate it. I'm trying to stay local for shows and I'm not really looking for business anymore. I just mix one band that I've been...

Now to get ready to sing some classic country in a duo show Wednesday. You mean you have BOTH kinds of music over thar? Yep - Country AND Western! I'm a bit of a both ends of the spectrum guy. I play the Les Paul through a Boogie for the Rock and Blues band doing Allman Brothers, etc.....then drag ...

Wiped it back to the factory default and reloaded the latest firmware version. It went as instructed (that never happens) and came up working. I've run it through a couple of power cycles and will do a few more just to put my mind at ease. Was able to upload saved scenes from my iPad, so it's clean ...

I live in fear of a piece of kit going down to the point where I cart around an extra power amp because if I have it, everything will work flawlessly, right?? With my rig (in the trailer), I have extra power amps, a spare console, etc. I always carry a spare router in my truck - not so much for the...

Fs: 39Hz
Qts: .68
Xmax: 6.37

The recommended drivers in the plans are at 9.6 (Emimence 3012LF)and 11.8 (Lab 15) xmax. I didn't check to see if the other parameters match. Do you have the plans? It has all of the T/S parameter specs and ranges.

As the header says, is the RCF L15s801 Subwoofer a good candidate for the BFM T48? Specs are as follows.

Fs: 48Hz
Qts: .32
Xmax: 6mm

Nope....not enough xmax if you want to give it some power.

Nothing instructive or maybe even interesting below.....just more exploits of a Grumpy Old Sound Man.....so, read on at your own peril....you could be throwing away 3 minutes of your life that you'll never get back. We've been doing a private party for a company every year in San Angelo. Great pay ...

Forgive my ignorance here, but the Driverack will be between the DJ equipment and the amps, correct? That's correct. It's the last control of the signal before hitting the amps. That's why you can run the amps wide open. The amount of signal reaching the amp will be determined by the Driverack. Ok,...

Regardless of the amp you use, run it wide open and use the speaker processor (driverack) to balance the system by turning down the output of the processor. That way, no one can come up and spin up your amp and blow the speakers. Forgive my ignorance here, but the Driverack will be between the DJ e...

I am aware of how to change the impedance to the amp with parallel vs series wiring the pair of 8's in the enclosure, but does the compression driver after the crossover alter the impedance at the amp? It doesn't. The Beta 8a is rated for 225w continuous power. If I deliver 450 watts to the enclosu...

I’m trying to calculate power needs for the OT8’s. Does the compression driver post crossover alter the impedance load on the amp? Or is it going to be a flat 4 or 16 depending on wiring? I’m targeting feeding each OT8 400 watts to be split between the 8’s. No, the CD does NOT change the impedance....

If you are planning to buy some drivers, do it now. Price increase on 12/15/25. Oof are kappalite 3012 affected? Well, that's a good question.......after I posted this, I got to looking at the price list and dealer cost on everything went up, but it looked like the MAP stayed the same. So, it may o...

I just spent a few minutes looking up the miniDSP, but could find nothing at all about limiting. If that's not there, it's a no go......

Maybe I just couldn't find it.

A T48 is massive, and rules out future plans for deploying the tops and subs as a smaller standalone PA system for open deck nights, etc. I am heavily leaning towards a pair of T30s, and a pair of OT8/12s. A pair of T30's will be larger than one T48. I'm curious why it would rule out use in a stand...
