Wow you are making Crazy Fast progress! What did you use to fill in the holes? I used drywall joint compound. I wouldn't recommend it for situations where the cabs get moved around alot, but I've used it on my other home builds and it's fine and really easy to work with. I've used bondo auto body f...

Of course, you're building T30s, so tilting and rolling is gonna' be really hard unless you are 4 feet tall. Have you considered puting 4 casters on the back of the cab surface mounted like the QSC subs?

I used standard casters mounted in the pockets. Use rubber feet on the four bottom corners and attach the casters where the are just above the floor. Tilt back and they roll. Set upright and they are stable.

I applaud you taking on WH10s. I built three of them many years ago - not an easy build with all of the combination miters.

Looks good.

Thank you Bruce, I use foam so I can replace it very easily for mic hygiene. I'm a germaphobe. I also recommend people chew bubble gum while on the mic, then it smells like bubble gum instead of stinky breath, or whatever else they might be consuming. Don't forget music! Good music is also best whe...

Her mic technique is good, but I would like to get her to keep her lips right on the foam.

Unless you are in a 20mph wind, there's no need for the foam. If you're using it because the mic is popping, then the internal windscreen may need to be replaced.

I wonder if I am better off going with a 3" (PENN Elcom MFR PN w2080k/hd) ? A bit pricey about $30 a piece..

Cheaper at Parts Express....

Unless she sings really low, you should raise the high pass on her vocal channel to around 200hz. That will help her not to fight with the guitars in the low-mid "mud" area. Make sure you high pass the acoustics also. At least 80hz to keep out the boominess. And sweep the low-mids with a c...

No reason to even wire the 2+ and 2-. There is no in or out.....parallel means they are both exactly the same. In fact, you should just use the NL2 connectors on the cables. They are a little cheaper than the NL4.

I'd go for seperate curcuits that are switched on/off in the correct oder...lot of hardware has mute-functions to have it turning on w/o unhappy noises. The "remote" switch aspect is as far as i know not used anywhere in that segment; rather data-linking like dante networks but not the po...

Power amps (Powered Speakers) - Last On/First Off Especially if using a Driverack....they will pop. Also, in running live sound - always mute your channels before shutting down the board, that way there won't be any open signals happening when you turn everything back on......especially if you have ...

You are correct, sir!

Those are no longer available. Bill has another recommended driver in the plans. I think it's the F151, but don't quote me.

Went to check out the Guad and scratch a fly fishing itch (mistake).

I've never understood fly fishing. No matter how many flies you catch, it just ain't enough for a meal.

I don't want to start a flame war, but there are people who seem very impressed with Compression Horns, and people who are very impressed with Piezos. I have no way of making an informed decision. It looks like Bill says it's really dependent on throw: Piezos for dispersion and less throw. But what...

Was in New Braunfels over the weekend- man you guys are building EVERYWHERE. Yeah....it's a bit of a problem. We have severe water issues here, but no one seems to want to address it. We've pretty much been in a drought for several years. Population when I was growing up in the 60s was about 10-12,...
