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.

Re: DURATEX

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...

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

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...

Re: T30/T48/T60

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...

Re: T30/T48/T60

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.....

Re: Jack 15 Lite Build

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...

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

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.....

Re: Jack 15 Lite Build

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...

...Jigsaw and orbital sander is being Considered too... Me personally, if tools were budget dependent, I'd choose a router and circle jig over jigsaw and sander. With the wood you have, an old school sanding block will be more than sufficient to deal with any sanding needs. Router with a flush cut ...

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..
