Re: a new truck tuba build

thanks everyone. this is a lot to work from!

one (perhaps ignorant) question, if its such a big no no to bridge channels, how do i get a bridged mono signal for the sub ( obvs dont want to send one half of stereo signals to the subwoofer).

Re: a new truck tuba build

wow , Ok i wont bridge! -is this equally true in car audio? where many amp manufacturers suggest you bridge channels for running subwoofers. Will one of the channels of this amp (150watts rms @ 2 0hm) be alright to power the 250watt Rms Dayton LS10 - 44 (wired for 2 ohm) OR should i switch for anoth...

Re: a new truck tuba build

Oh no! i just read in the manual that the amp ive got is only 2ohm stable per individual channel , and when bridging 2 of the channels, as i intended to do for the trucktuba, it is only stable between 4 - 8 Ohms. Looks like ill have to run it at 8 Ohm or run two sets of cables to run it at 4 Ohms Wh...

Re: a new truck tuba build

thanks for the replies!

the amp ive got is 2 Ohm capable. so i'll do that.

Out of curiosity what would the advantages be to run it at 8 Ohm if any ?

Re: Jack10 passive crossover questions

I know the plans specify using an electrolytic capacitor for the woofer low pass filter, but is it possible to use polypropylene instead, or is there a specific characteristic to electrolytic capacitors that makes them better suited to this application?

Re: Jack12 build from the UK: changing parts

greetings from a fellow UK weirdo. I was recommended this glue by another UK builder on this forum, and have built lots of cabinets with it - https://www.everbuild.co.uk/products/adhesives/wood-adhesives/30-minute-polyurethane-wood-adhesive-gel/. It expands well, and you should be able to find it fo...

Jack10 passive crossover questions

Hi again! I am in the process of building two Jack10s as a summer project with some kids at a local adventure playground. They want to be able to use the speakers in spaces without mains power, so we are hoping to power them using a 12v battery and a car amplifier. The build is going well so far, bu...

'smallest gauge available' = thickest or thinnest?

Planning to build a couple of Jack10s with passive filters, but having only biamped before and being from the UK, I wanted to double check what is meant in the plans when it says to choose 'the smallest gauge available' for the inductors... does this mean the lowest gauge number (i.e. the thickest),...
