Bruce....you good sir are a genius. Fixed it.

Ok guys. I need some help. Just picked up a new crown xls2500 to replace my old Carvin DCM1000 (heavy, but reliable). I had the limiter setup and working well with the old amp with tops on channel 1 (limited to 25V) and subs on channel 2 (limited to 45V). Using 2 OT12 and 2 T39s. Trying to get the l...

I was under the impression that voltage doesn't care if it is 4, 5, 8, 10ohms. 50V is 50V. I hope so, because I'm not resetting my limited if I change the number of cabinets. My DCM1000 can do 50V, but just barely. I'm wondering if there is benefit to having an amp that can do 65V but I can still li...

Back with more questions. My current setup consists of: 2 T39 20" with 3012lf (retrofit...not too bad, but haven't put it to the test thoroughly yet) 2 OT12s DBX PX+ Carvin DCM 1000 one side powering the subs, the other the OT12. The Carvin is heavier than I want and has some minor noise, good ...

Well...I put the new access cover on and .... it works. :hyper: It took a few rows of tape and a lot of screws, but it is on and not leaking. I put a 30 hz sine wave at 10 Vs and it sounded pretty damn good. I've got a few small holes to bondo up on the old access cover, so I'll need to test again w...

As far as the old access cover goes, if you haven't got access to a router, then so be it. just add some strips of 1/4" ply, like flanges, to PL in a piece of 1/2". Duratex and done. Mike's idea is good. If you don't put in the old piece you can put a nice solid brace (to stop the "n...

You could even make the oversized panel the full size of the front panel, plus 1/2" to cover up the front edge of the top panel. Sand the bottom edge to blend in with panel 5, Duratex the whole thing and you won't see it from more than 10 feet away. Again, you could get back into the cab if ne...

I made some progress on this. The first challenge was to cut the driver hole in the baffle. I started with a jigsaw and made it a little way, making some relief cuts along the way. I gave that up after two minutes because I couldn't get all the way to the cut line and it was taking a long time. Then...

Here's what it look like so far.

Thanks for all the replies...I know I'm in uncharted territory here. If I could build another pair of T39s, I would. The cost isn't the factor in this case. I'm starting with one...if I screw it up, I still have another functioning one. I ended up cutting a front access panel close to the dimensions...

A little history... Back in 2008, I built two T39 20" with BP102s. Following the plans available at the time. The old plans had the access panel on the top, not the front as current plans indicate. The bp102 did fine to keep up with the old mains, but now that I've built the OT12s, I'm wanting ...

I'm back for more information. I picked up a Mackie DL1608 and driverack px to run my T39s BP102 and OT12s. I know I should have more subs, but we really only play small venues. Even with our old setup, we had plenty of low end. I'm running the stereo outs from the mixer to the px, but only running ...

Thanks for all the advice. We're recording a practice today with two overhead mics and I'm not going to do much with the levels of the guitarists. If they are too loud or too quiet, they will be able to hear it in the recording. I'm hoping the drummer and the singer will give them hell for it too. A...

Brent - I looked into one of those. It is a bit beyond my price point currently. There is a used 16.0.2 in cl right now for $800, but I'm not sure of the difference between the 16.4.2 and the used one. I also thought the driverack px was for powered speakers and the driverack pa was for unpowered. G...

I've lurked in the forums for a couple of years and have always received good advice, so I'm back for more. Here is my current situation: 5 piece rock band Drums, 2x guitar, 4 vocals, bass. Mic everything. In ears for bass and two guitars, both drummer and lead singer have their own power monitors S...
