Just back on here a few years after I built some Jack 12 Lites and Wedgehorn. I don't have a workshop with tablesaws etc, all the builds I've done have been with hand held tools so I make lots of use of things like circular saw sleds, router sleds and templates for things like speaker cut-outs and p...

0.3mH inductors arrived today, crossovers built.

Thanks, Bill.

Good to hear. I have a set of Faital Pro FE200s waiting to go in another set of SLA Pros (should I ever find the time). Which driver did you use? I'm building a pair of mini SLAs around Faital Pro FE200s right now. I read somewhere on here that they're a good alternative to the Eminences, and at ju...

Thanks Bill, The 0.15s I've got are supposedly +/-3%, but it's still less than ideal fitting them on the board so I'll go with your advice. I've got some 0.3 ordered now, should be here on Saturday, which is later than I'd like but still enough time to get things built, configured and tested before ...

Hi all, Happy New Year It's been a few years since I last posted here, building a pair of Wedgehorn 8s and a pair of Jack 12 Lites. They're still performing well, even if a little bit gig battered, but I'm currently building a new system around a Simplex 18 subwoofer and a pair of SLA Pro Minis. I'v...

I've been using an X32 Rack for around 10 months now. I had some pieces of Berry gear, such as the DEQ2496, in my outboard rack before, and that had been totally reliable - but I was still a little worried about putting a piece of Behringer equipment (with their reputation for making cheap, unreliab...

I'm one of those 'transition' guys. i was in my teens when the UK started to go metric with currency, measurements, volumes etc... So most of my schooldays were in imperial and in pounds, shillings and pence. All of my adult life has been in millimetres, litres and decimal currency...I much prefer m...

Nice Job! I found the Jacks to be harder work than I thought they would be, but they are worth every ounce of effort. Mine are already getting positive comments along the lines of 'best sound quality we've heard in here' and 'what speakers are those, where did you get them'... Nice to see you've fin...

It'll be worth it. I've used mine on about three gigs since I completed them and even though I haven't done enough with them to really dial in the EQ completely they are seriously impressive. Full, rich and as loud as f. The good thing is that I think there is more to come. I'll try and get some gig...

Crap, I just realized I didn't cap it. I hope I didn't waste a whole tube drying out at home right now. :shock: what does everyone use to keep the rest of the tube from drying out? I just flick the lever on the caulking gun just before I get to the end of a glue line, it stops the overflow of PL an...

Any updates?

At your age? They have pills you know...

Looking forward to this build because I've been thinking of some myself...damnit, I've only had the Jacks a few months and I've already got more builds running through my old brain!

I'm lazy and trying to minimize the whole bondo/sanding stage Me too. I bought some bondo, better known as body filler over here, from the local car accessories place because it said "Sands Like Magic" on the tin. So I put it all over the screw holes and imperfections, then left it overni...

Okay, going with the top end wood, I don't want to cut corners (hehe), ok, i don't own a circular saw either, How does this look? , If i was buying cordless I'd like to buy new as I want some fresh batteries which won't fade after a few cuts, should i also consider corded circ saws, or will the cor...

I start with a flat response. I use my DEQ 2496 to measure that and tweak my system to get close to flat. But I only do that every once in a while and not at each venue. After that I do add some "eq to taste", but not on the DEQ. I use an X32 with a parametric on the mains for most gigs a...
