Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

Here is the Rava sub disassembled. I'm really sorry Adire Audio went out of business. I searched long and hard for the best bang for buck sub i could at the time. If i remember right I got this sub delivered to my door step for like $375. Its been rocking out for a long time. In fact last night my s...

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

I would also recommend any AVR that uses Audyssey MultEQ XT32, the Antimode 8033, or the MiniDSP (in combination once again with REW). I'd second that, with perhaps that caveat that the XT32 may not be necessary but as long as it's got the sub-EQ it's sufficient. http://www.hometheatershack.com/for...

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

Whats the least expensive way to EQ one of these? To quote Bill from another thread... For a lot less money the Behringer FBD, used along with Room Equalizer Wizard software, has the same capabilities, making it worth considering as well. I would also recommend any AVR that uses Audyssey MultEQ XT3...

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

Since I'm using a 12" driver is there any limitation to width that I'm not going to see an advantage by increasing the width?

I think I'm shooting for 24 inches, but if the advantages of extra width tails of at say 20" or something, I'd be inclined to build it smaller.

Just curious.

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

First thing im going to listen to is that THX mushroom hit thing at the end of avatar....I'm hoping I have to pick my guts up off the floor. Beautiful theater room you've got there. THTLP would be a worthy addition. I've got mine wall-loaded, and at -0 dB REF if it hadn't been for using a multimete...

BTW what are your mains and what did you record that audio with? Sounds pretty good for being a "handy cam"

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

You're gonna crap your pants when you experience the difference in output between the two alignments. :twisted: Can't WAIT! I started the whole process last year, even had the driver out...but we were still working on the house and still putting the theater together, and it just lost priority, so i...

Re: THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclos

Here is the theater its going in.

It'll go behind the screen wall. Which is the reason for the low profile choice. Its going to be a squeeze to get in even the LP. I'm hoping i can make a 24X18X72 fit.

THTLP Build - 12" Driver - Conversion from sealed enclosure

Hey All, After a year of stalling, I'm jumping back into this build finally! Here's the deal, I'm converting my old Adire Audio RAVA into one of BFM's THT LP's. From what I remember from my previous research, the driver from that sub matches specs really closely to the recommended dayton 15". H...
