Re: My band just put out our first EP!
I would like to have listened as well, but sound isn't working on my computer since you've put this up. Cymbals, they can be difficult to record with the body that us drummers would know is in them. Then again, some cymbals do sound thin. Heck, some cymbals are made thin. Now some people have menti...

Re: My band just put out our first EP!
Not my cup of tea but well done! And when I say not my cup of tea, I mean the screamo portion. I love a good hard metal and the songs have a great driving beat plus seem well composed. Talented group of musicians imo. For me, your vocals shined on "Radiate". Good enough to be a single rel...

My band just put out our first EP!
I am the vocalist for a modern metal band called Lokust. Our debut EP came out this past Sunday, and if you'd like to check it out, you can find it here (for free, of course): https://lokustband.bandcamp.com/album/schism-ep Any criticism and critique is welcome! This is my first time performing voca...

Re: Crossover frequency does matter
IMO, you've got it backwards: The cheap tweeters can't go as low... and because they're cheap, they also sound worse. More expensive, better-made tweeters can go lower... and because they're better-made, they sound better. In other words, the crossover frequency isn't the actual reason the cabs soun...

Re: PA Systems an article from an old PRO that knows his stuff
The quote implies it could even happen with a single driver in the cabinet. It wouldn't, the section must have been poorly written. The only way a single driver in a cabinet would have a problem is if it was in a grouping of cabs and others were of opposite polarity. That was what I took from it; i...

The Yamaha powered mixers are great. Light, make clean power, sound good.

Re: Hello and bass guitar stack questions :)
Reading http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=358 , it does seem the Titan would be a better choice than the Tuba for bass guitar after all. It appears the Jack is the successor to the Omni, are they comparable? How hard is it to scale the width to match a bottom and top? I would really...

Re: Hello and bass guitar stack questions :)
As an alternative, for an easier build, you could do an OmniTop12 and a Titan39 or Titan48 in the same width.
You would never have trouble being heard with that setup!

Re: Calculating nominal impedance with multiple BFM subs.
you can wire lower then the minimum impedance with car audio because of box/impedance rise. basically with car audio if you wire to 1ohm your amp will read around 2ohm, maybe even 3ohm. In this case, we are taking the "box rise" into account at the onset; that is why 6 6-Ohm cabs go down ...

Re: Calculating nominal impedance with multiple BFM subs.
Hey Ryan, Yep it's what we often do, work things out with nominal impedance. Ages and ages back someone pointed out looking at impedance charts for the driver as well though. The reason being that some frequencies are running well below nominal impedance, and that can be even more of a problem when...

Now all you need is 3 more identical subs, 4 Otops or DRs, and you'll be set to rock.

Re: Calculating nominal impedance with multiple BFM subs.
Each cab is nominally 6 ohms. Wired parallel six cabs would be 1 ohm. I would not size an amp with the intent of using it at its minimum load rating, that's pretty much asking for trouble. Always give yourself some wiggle room. Thanks! I plan to get a 1 Ohm stable amp that has been successfully str...

Calculating nominal impedance with multiple BFM subs.
How does one accomplish a nominal impedance calculation, when multiple cabs are in use? Why I ask: I have 6 TTLS in my truck, loaded with 4 Ohm drivers. The horn "adds" about 2 Ohms of impedance... but is that added before the electrical impedance is calculated, or after? Are my 6 cabs pre...

I love the fact that the subs and tops form a giant smily face... as if to say, yeah, we know this sounds incredible.Boyd wrote:I'd look at doing something like this:
