Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

This may provide some insight for you..... http://www.atomiczombie.com/CycleBully%20Electric%20Assist%20Trailer.aspx Those designs are well done, thanks. I've made trailers before, and it is quite easy. I'll use this coupling system, which is lockable and easy to install on the rack (or you can eve...

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

Something like this might be easily modified. The cargo area is 16.5" wide....so that will still hold a T39 downfiring. You might even be able to add some "rack space" to the "back" of the T39 and host all the electronics in there. http://www.amazon.com/Aosom-Traveler-Flatb...

Yeah, I'd probably use 16" (kids bikes) or 20" (BMX) wheels, which are cheap and easy to add

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

One (obvious) thing I have found whilst building is that some plywood is lighter than others. I got some really bad ply that had the veneer on :cop: :cop: - it was a proper PITA to make the sub BUT once all the swearing at the wood had subsided I realized that my creation was so light!! I wonder ho...

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

I'd consider loading the t39 with the 4 ohm lab 12, to extract the most out of your amp. Again more precious advice.. the sensitivity doesn't seem that high though "89.2 dB 1W/1m" and the literature says 6 ohm http://www.parts-express.com/eminence-lab-12-professional-12-subwoofer-speaker-...

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

Ahh yes, portable sound :clap: If you want to run it from the 36v bicycle battery, look at something from Sure Electronics - ie, TAS5630 chip amp I guess the first decision is, which voltage and charging system. What I imagined was the bionx system which I can get at dealer price that charges when ...

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

. Put it "downward firing," add wheels, and pull it like a trailer. I think we will wait on the sub, but when we do, I think I can make the T39 30" wide, so it's more stable on outboard wheels as suggested. Then I can connect it with this hitch. http://www.andersen-shopper.de/en/prod...

Re: Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a B

Hello, and welcome to the forum! How about a pair of SLAPro? You could hang one on either side of the bike, which would leave room on the rack for other stuff. Add a couple of latches to make an 8 driver column. This allows you to throw the sound farther with clarity (than a JBL PRX ground mounted)...

True, there doesn't seem to be much of an advantage to the T24s in low end. I imagined coupling them and hoping for something to bounce them off.

Lightest, most efficient solution for a Sound Sys On a Bike

My son and I would like to build a sound system that can be transported on a cargo bike like this http://www.google.ch/imgres?sa=X&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCH576CH577&espv=210&es_sm=91&biw=1440&bih=828&tbm=isch&tbnid=EArgL1S2avnPaM%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.mtbr.com%2Fcar...

Re: Jack 10 lite build x 2

Seeing the elegant curves of this design, and the fact that there are no staples, I thought to myself "it's a pity to cover that wood". Do you have to run a bead from the front ? it seems things fit together so well that sealing from the back would be enough. If it is necessary, one could ...
