Re: Otop 8 future build

Bruce I have the dual 1/4" + dual speakon combination plate. The 1/4" connections
of the plate is what I was describing.

Re: Otop 8 future build

Progress is going slow now that I am off vacation and back at work, But I managed to get the wiring done for the terminal plate. I will have to re-do the wiring on the 1/4" terminals of the first Otop8 because the pins are really loose and I can't get audio out from the connection. The Speak-on...

Re: Otop 8 future build

Okay I got you. Still listening to the speaker at the moment. The more I listen the more I like the sound. Maybe because
I have never used tops with compression horns. Anyone got any experience with the PA Driverack that would like to help
me with the best settings I should use?

Re: Otop 8 future build

Okay. Thanks for that Bill. I don't have the skills to interpret the graph, but I kind of figured. They are loud though and I still can't wait to tweak everthing. Here is a short youtube video of a sound demo. Remember just a test, so no Eqing or DSP processing as of yet. Still going to work out som...

Re: Otop 8 future build

Ran into a couple of bumps. Finished wiring up the cup but could not install the back properly because of the way the spade connectors hit the back of the subwoofer. Now I see why in the Sketchup model the cups appear mounted sideways. Since mines were pre-built I didn't think much of it. So I re-di...

Re: Otop 8 future build

Can't wait. I hope to finish the other one up in much less time. The first one for me is always the hardest.

Re: Otop 8 future build

And here is an image of the cleaned up wiring. On the plate as your looking at it it is in the
same orientation as in the plans with the 1+ terminals at the top.

Re: Otop 8 future build

Okay here is the speakers re-wired in parallel. I believe I did it correctly this time.
I did both the compression drivers and woofers this way.

Re: Otop 8 future build

Okay I am looking over page 25 and 26 of the plans again to get a better understanding. As far as my connections and when I remove the extra set of cables to the speakon cup will I stll be able to pass-through a sub. I decided to leave the 1/4" connections un-attached at this time as I decided ...

Re: Otop 8 future build

Okay I am almost done with the wiring part of the first Otop 8. I am following the diagram that Seth drew up for me above. I believe I have those connected properly. I am at a mini-stop as I believe I know what I need to do but I need to confirm with you guys first. I see in Seth's diagram where one...

Re: Otop 8 future build

Tom what would you recommend for the top hat depth. On my SLAs I have a 1-1.2" top hat for a 1-1.2" top hat stand.
The depth of the stalk is 4.5". Do I want 4.5" or for Otop 8 should I get the 3" deep stalk?

Re: Otop 8 future build

So I went to Home Depot and picked up a pack of M6-1.0 X 25MM screws and a pack of M6 washers. Perfect fit. Thanks Bruce

Re: Otop 8 future build

I looked into the packages on mines, but no bolts. Might need to just break out the tape measure.
