I worked at BOSE for 21 years… and SWEET JESUS Bill!! Now, I need to go get some plaster to fix the cracks in the walls

Thank you for sharing, much appreciated!

With a woofer you can use a battery. I think 1.5V is enough. Connect - of the battery to one terminal on your driver. Now when you connect + from you battery to the other terminal on the driver, one would expect the woofer cone to move outward. Towards you if you are looking at the exterior side if ...

Shane, your kid has a great sense of humor

Many years ago I was also in need of some parts that were either not available or stupid expensive in Europe. I bought a bunch of parts from Leland (long time member here, owner of https://www.speakerhardware.com ). Leland sells the Goldwood 1016 tweeters at $2.98 each. Shipping, customs and VAT add...

Amen to that.
You are making good progress Shane. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds suspicious to me

Good to see you got it back up and running Bruce. The polka gig sounds like a hoot indeed

You are welcome. I am curious to see what you come up with. Another thought that just popped up in my head: you need easy access with your thumb to the lock on the speakon connectors. Perhaps make a test handle or recessed connector on some scrap wood. Just to get your hands on it, see how it works ...

I have searched but did not find pictures of the handles in my DR. I do remember using a jig to cut identical holes on both sides for these handles. Because of the peculiar placement and angles I did not trust myself to just measure, draw, cut and end up with exact mirror image holes on either side....

Connectors in the back panel: yes. But that may be simpler if you are not combining with handles. Connectors into the recessed seem deep to me. I use Neutrik NL4MPR connectors on my cabs, not the smaller NL4MP versions. The smaller versions are OK on metal panels, they may rip out of wood when abuse...

I have previously owned a single DR250. It came without handles. I installed this type: https://www.thomann.de/intl/adam_hall_34082b.htm This does not interfere with the horn path and is a quite comfortable carry. If comfortable is at all possible with the larger DR's - they will always be somewhat ...

It has been many years since I last purchased some Soudal 60A in Hornbach stores in the Netherlands. You may very well be correct in saying the 60A version is not widely available throughout Europe anymore. Right now I also cannot find the type you refer to in Dutch shops. It may not be sold here. A...

Excellent !

Appreciate the reply. I bought a used pair of T39's earlier this year...man what a beast! But I feel like I still want a Tuba 45 ! Yeah, you got the bug, mate :hyper: Do you intend to use that Tuba 45 together with your T39's? I think that wouldn't work well. Use either T39s or Tuba 45s, do not run...

Or offer the systems to venues free of charge for their events to get the awareness up? Don't go there. You are devaluing the business. For yourself and for others. I have no experience in renting out pro audio services, as I have only brought gear for my own use. So I cannot talk from experience. ...

Table Tuba was designed with home theatre / film in mind. Lara Croft, submarine drama with torpedo's and depth charges, earth quakes, explosions. The vast majority of recorded music does not go that low. Yet it can still make a horn loaded sub shine. My modest T18 and AutoTuba took me by surprise. T...
