Eminence Speaker Company was sold to B&C in 2023. Alot of times when this happens nothing good comes out of it...I wonder of the owner and actual original employees are still actively engaged/employed.. As far as I know they are all still there. The people that I've dealt with for years were st...

Driver question for titan 39. We are going with a pair of 12 inch drivers for 2 separate cabinets. These are going in a small church 40 x 60 or about 2,400 sq feet permanently fixed mounted. My question is on what drivers to order. Choices are: Delta 12lfa, Kappalite 3012 lf, lab 12 and s2012. Also...

Just wanted to see if there was an update on this Looks like MAP has stayed the same, but the dealer cost has gone up. Oof sorry to hear that. You would think they would want to partner with dealers, as they're the connection to the Main buyers. I'm not sure what's going on - the new owners are obv...

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 or may not be higher to the retail buyer. I guess we'll see. Just wanted to see i...

Fair enough, I kind of figured this. I'll extend the speaker wires. Right now the amp is sitting on top of the cab, interconnects are basic 1 meter stuff. If you're only 3 feet, that's fine for unbalanced as long is it isn't draped over some neon lights or small children....both of which can cause ...

No, he never really got into playing or running sound although he listens to and likes music. He has however, toted a few heavy pieces of gear over the years for me.

He's an architect.

Man roller grade duratex was under $50 a gallon And I was only 49 years old......wish both were still true. 😂 I had just started my twenties. I believe that was the first time I first started reading up on bfm designs. Was very intrigued but didn't have the time, finances, or space as I was still i...

What jasper jig do you recommend? Model 290 or 200? I think the main difference the 290 can cut smaller (1 1/2"). Didn't know they had so many models now! If you don't anticipate using it every day and you take care of your tools, the regular (not Pro) should be great with a lower price tag. A...

Time for the grumpy old sound man to throw a little cold water on the discussion. If you spend half of the time on learning how to properly EQ your system once it's built as you have on trying to choose a cab, you'll end up with a much better sounding system regardless of the sub you choose. You and...

The T30 does it the other way around, its lower sensitivity will never match the T48 but it takes around half the space. While the T48 volume is indeed bigger (based on 30 in. wide cabs), the footprint is smaller at being only 24 inches deep vs. 30. But the biggest factor you should consider is tha...

With all the years I've been on the Forum, that's the first time (I think) that I've read that post. That should be the first response to every inquiry about what sub to build.

Excellent explanation and analysis.....

What do you propose for amplification, Bruce? A single channel plate amplifier with passive crossover to the tweeters and an inline DSP and Bluetooth board/chip from the Dayton line? Right now the cab has both the tweeter and woofer crossovers installed. I know the crossovers do their intended jobs...

Shoot.....all this tool talk makes me want to build something. Do it, do it, do it! LOL. Whew! Thank goodness I came to my senses..... I just got through repairing my 40 year old air compressor....that should hold me for a while. I'll stick to fixing gear and building cables. Stuff I can do sitting...

I bridged both channels, two for the woofer and two for the tweeters. Effectively a two channel amp now. Was not enough power to get the full potential out of the design. Changing up the amplifier now. ***The Dayton full range plate amp that is stickied on the DR Horn sub-forum has unfortunately be...
