Price for that same 5x5 is double per sheet. Fortunately I got in Contact with a reseller that has sheets for $27! I'm figuring out how to cut it up so it'll fit in my suv.. You need to really make sure that it's real Baltic birch and not the Chinese stuff. That's the price that I was paying for 5x...

I've got to think that your 5.5" isn't all that powerful. My 5.5" 18v Porter Cable that I got 25 years ago was pretty anemic. My 20v DeWalt 7.25" is pretty rubust. It's 18V and works fine for cutting down sheets of 1/2". But, I have plenty of spare batteries. :D I wouldn't want ...

I actually had the DBX PA2 in the work rack decide it didn't want to do much the other day. Pulled all the kit out to plonk into one of our auditoriums to run sound for the Royal Institute Christmas Lecture re-streams (the audio kit in the room is awful and I refuse to use it). I switch the rack on...

I'll put it this way. I have two corded circular saws. I haven't used either for at least 12 years. They just collect dust, along with all my other corded hand tools. I only use my 5 1/2" battery-operated circular saw for cutting down sheet goods. All the real work is on the table saw. But, I ...

All cabinet grade means to me is 3/4" with a thin veneer.

Great job. Love the old plan design.

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...
