I'm pretty sure I set the threshold at 0 dB and after the auto eq it jumped up to 18 dB. The geq adjusted a lot of the frequencies below 100 hz. But this was a rough test in my basement so it may not be the norm.

I ran the Auto EQ yesterday with the T48 and noticed that it actually changed my threshold value on my output limiters. I'm worried that if I did this live and didn't bring a Fluke meter with me I could potentially overdrive the sub and blow the speakers during the event.

I think it was supposed to be used as a baseline measurement versus the outdoor method. I live in the city and don't have a wide open field I can take my equipment too. I guess my question is should you just Auto EQ one speaker since both speakers should have a similar response? If no then I'll just...

Yes sorry got that backwards. Original post has been corrected.

I am in the testing phase of my Titan 48 and Otop 12's and am using a DriveRack PA+ for limiting and eq. Here is the basic method I have come up with so far. 1. Perform basic setup wizard 2. Setup Up Crossover Points 3. Setup Gain Structure and Balance System 4. Auto EQ 5. Setup Output Limiter Now i...

Also I just measured where panel 9 should go and unfortunately when I put the hand grips in panel 1 I was off by 1/4 of an inch so I'll need to move panel 9 out a smidge. Will this affect the sound? And since I'm moving panel 9 out anyway can I get corner handles installed?

I'm at the point where I will be making the horizontal and vertical bracing for the access panel. So more questions: 1. Can I make the width of the vertical strips larger so I can have more meat for panel 7? It would also allow me more room to install the hurricane nuts and then I can cut to fit the...

Yea it's less than 1/16th and I think I was just a bit off when squaring everything and screwing things in so I'll be sure to use a scrap piece on top of every panel moving forward to keep everything in line.

Things are moving along slowly but surely and I will post some updated pics here soon. I just got the baffle finished up yesterday and installed. I didn't think it was going to take me so long to get to that point, but I spent most of my time measuring, sizing, and making sure my circles and spacing...

Do you guys use bondo on the outside of the cabinet as a final sealant/filler?

1. No. Dry place your panels after panel 1 and before PL/screws, just to make sure everything is as it should be. If you countersink straight up, and somethings out of whack, you just have holes to fill and make airtight. Use the method in the plans to make you lines on the second side.. When you g...

I just started out on my first Titan 48 and I know I will be asking for tips and advice as I go along. Right now I just finished cutting out Panel 1 and laying out all of the lines. I should be finishing up the hand hold cutouts and the the baffle tomorrow. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Should...

I think my brain is just not working right now, but I am having a very difficult time visualizing the following statement from the Titan 48 plans. Can some of the more experienced builders help clarify the technique described below in the plans. "Drill a two holes, 1/16 inch diameter or so, thr...

So I finally put the Autotuba in my car this weekend. Wired it up to a very old Kenwood amp Bridged Mono and let her rip. The max voltage across the terminals was roughly a spike up to 19V but averaging 14V and below. All I can say is wow. My car definitely needs rattle control and in order to keep ...

California has gotten to the point that they have tried banning smoking outdoors in certain cities, in your own personal cars in some counties, and in your own home. I am all for not infringing on non-smokers rights for clean air, but banning outdoors. This state has the weirdest and craziest laws s...
