"essentially free" But you have to remember that you'll need to sell a kidney to afford a stack of wood these days

...May the Fourth be with you!

And also with you

Wait, that aint right...

I'd like to know how these little amps sound with different voltage applied. The link say it operates at 12-24v. Would there be more volume at 18v versus 12v? Would there be distortion or clipping at 24v? Would there a voltage "sag" at 12v? I guess all amps are different so it depends. I feel dumb f...

I was reaching for a box on the top shelf of a closet and my DBX PA+ that was in it fell out and onto the hardwood floor. :shock: I dampened the shock slightly with my bare foot (the physical pain was way less than the emotional pain). It still bent the aluminum faceplate some and the rotary-knob sh...

If you like 12s, build OTop 12s. Two of those with the 1.2hz crossover and the compression drivers are all you need for that small of a space.

I agree. My OT12's are flat-array tweets, but they're more than enough for the job. Have you looked at the OT8 or SLA Pro?

I changed all my corner to what Bruce posted and haven't looked back. Metal ones are for guitar or bass cabs

I've used one AT at a backyard bbq at reasonable levels and it performed great. I've also used 2 AT's in a single car garage and it was clearly heard on the other end of the house. And that was maybe 1/4 of its voltage limit. You can't underestimate the power of the design. Even though it wasn't des...

That's pretty cool. I made press-to-fit crossovers and the BFM logo with mine.

If that Israeli heat is too much for PLA; you can use PETG or ABS (which you can make glassy smooth with acetone)

I tired to like but their site is acting up

Another vote for MCM Like Tom, I've used a few MCM's and they did great. I've also separated a few spiders from the coils. A little epoxy and they were fine. The failures were most likely on my part since they were in a car (NO LIMITER!). Can't comment on a newer MCM driver, but in a bedroom you'll ...

I lost/broke all the fader knobs on my backup mixer, so I made some with my 3d printer. They're a nice tight push-on fit. The hobby can be really useful sometimes.

http://www.pegasusguitars.com/making-go-bars.html I just use a mad assortment of 10-15 pound dumbells and bar plates... :D That's pretty cool. You'd need a really big cube to fit a max sized T48 in, though. :shock: Gym weight are a hot commodity right now. You could sell them, build some "go bars",...

...since we don't watch movies at high levels. I think you'll be fine with building a TT as wide as possible. When you're ready to upgrade to a full-fledged home theater, then you can build the THT. I wouldn't mess with Bill's designs. Using a 8" driver in a THT sounds like putting a lawnmower engi...

So any updates?

I was just playing around with a possible dual 10" driver TrT mockup in sketchup and this build was the inspiration
