Re: Portable 2.1 setup

What about angling the sla’s up? Or have them removable still? When I was camping last weekend I put the rsx-4’s on my roof rack and the soundstage was just killer. Just imagining now that I know that 2.1 amp + mulwaukee 4 ah xc battery = 8 hours battery life. Your title reminded me of an older thre...

I’ve thought about hooking it up for sure, and my la scala’s. Or heresy’s.

Problem is the amp plate is sealing my tuba ht

Re: Portable 2.1 setup

Good story. Hahahaha I had to move my tubaht to my shop from my Garage as my wife complained that the dishes were shaking in the house. And I thought I could barley hear it They’re beasts! Sub frequencies are not directional. You could have it face away from a group in the middle of a field and get ...

Re: Portable 2.1 setup

Except the sub exits to the side which in the countryside isn’t quite so focused. Can a baffle be added to direct it to the front? Sub frequencies are not directional. You could have it face away from a group in the middle of a field and get the same perceived output in the groups location as if it...

Re: Portable 2.1 setup

Little and horn loaded are mutually exclusive terms. T18 is the smallest possible horn loaded sub, which you might use with a pair of small SLA Pro. Oh I knows it. It takes space. I was thinking of somehow doing it with a trucktuba and have it dual purpose Because making a Sla for the top and split...

Re: Portable 2.1 setup

I'd like to know how these little amps sound with different voltage applied. The link say it operates at 12-24v. Would there be more volume at 18v versus 12v? Would there be distortion or clipping at 24v? Would there a voltage "sag" at 12v? I guess all amps are different so it depends. I ...

Portable 2.1 setup

I picked one of parts-Express’s 2.1 amps, as it also has Bluetooth.

Re: Auto or Truck Tuba, 10" driver check

Thanks for the reply. Oh I’m well aware of the effects of width :-) Nice setup too. No doubt it thumbs! I appreciate the feedback greatly. I don't know enough about this stuff to say what effect using your driver will have. However, I've used the recommended 8" driver in a Tall AutoTuba and als...

Auto or Truck Tuba, 10" driver check

I built a 36^3 TubaHT to go with my La Scala's quite a number of years ago and it's just been killer. Now for my truck, I have a little 10" sealed JL sub, but it's just not the same. It feels so ... forced and not easy like my TubaHT at all. The box is: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_136110TGW3/...

Re: Clamping Power Tool Guides -> Help your circular saw become a table saw

If I didn't have one however, I would forsake the expense of what is basically a straight edge, and put the same money towards a router if that's where I was short in tools... Read the panel Jig plans again and absolutely you can glue up some straight plywood, if you have it laying around for your ...

Re: Clamping Power Tool Guides -> Help your circular saw become a table saw

Just passing this along for those of us without table saws. I used these thoroughly during my build During final assembly of my TubaHT, the panel width deviations were less than 1/16" of each other. Probably 1/32 or less, and I have no skills... Came in super handy for my cordless circular saw...
