Any song or movie scene requests?

Sometimes I can't believe this sound system is real and mine! So clear, accurate, and the POWER is unreal. My wife is getting tired of fixing crooked pictures on the walls upstairs shaken by the THTLP monster. I took a recording of the system in stereo (no SLA center) to illustrate the clarity of th...

That came out amazing. That dance hall is going from mediocre to premium sound right quick. Well done! Guessing the subs are still more than adequate with the "underpowered" amp. Too cool. Thank you Seth! I'm quite happy with how it all turned out. In the last image up there you can see t...

Looks like it came out great. Out of ignorance, what type of music is being played in the ballroom? Is it just piano? I am about to get my hands on qty 2 20" wide T39 with the Kappalite 3012LF Neo 12". My events are primarily prerecorded music. The only other subs I've had before are acti...

Got the Jacks installed to the home they'll spend most of their time in. I built a couple corner shelves for the Jacks to sit on and they are quite strong. I'm confident that I could sit on the shelves without issue or risk. The Jacks perform better than I could have hoped. Bass response is amazing!...

Looking GREAT so far!

We played a lot of the cliche songs (YMCA, I'm coming out, etc) and we also played a lot of modern upbeat stuff like Pink's Raise Your Glass, Ru Paul, Chappell Roane, etc. I had several people ask about them actually! My wife also told a lot of people about them and that I built them (I did make sur...

The Jacks did awesome at the parade!! Ran them quietly before the parade for ambience. Then once we started walking, I cranked to just about war volume. They sounded great! And the crowd on either side of the parade route and the walkers definitely enjoyed them. I powered them with a car amp which w...

I can relate to that. Many years ago I owned a single DR250. It had just one measly little 10" driver. I thought it would be a good idea to drive it hard with one channel of a simple home amp. Boy, was I wrong. I did not get to running it full tilt. Way before I reached that level, things all ...

Well I think I know who this emoji is for:

Yeah, no kidding. I do plan to take the cover off and inspect. My guess is one of the solder joints came loose

Edit: took the cover off and figured out the issue: bad wiring harness between the channel volume potentiometer and the channel's board. Low voltage connection thankfully.

So, I was listening to the Jacks in my garage while washing the car in the driveway (because why not while I have them!) and I went to move the electric pressure washer. What I didn't know is that the extension cord had gotten wrapped around the back side of the amp and mixer, and moving the pressur...

Ok, got the insulation installed in both cabs. To the surprise of no one, that fixed that mid-range hump! They sound even better now!

I definitely missed it then. I'll get that added. Not a big deal to take off the rear panels and put that in.

Edit: just checked the Sketchup and sure enough, there it is.

Thanks Bill and Keryn
