Allrighty, thanks guys!

Sorry I know this is an old topic, but I´m wondering how to deal with the fact that I can´t get 1/2" wood here in Sweden which is 12,7mm. I can only get 12mm.

Thanks!

I agree on using Volts, Watts are confusing to me. How have you guys arrived at the max V for specific drivers?

Using an amp at its limits should also sound bad right? Maybe it´s best to have way more power than is needed? That approach should be the same for drivers too right?

I´m looking at old, proven, solid, and perhaps rundown (visually) Lab Gruppen amps. The new ones are out of my league. However, in Sweden where the old Lab amps where made there are gems to be found. Mint Lab 1000´s may be found for as little as 300USD. And while they are heavy, noisey they are reli...

After some research I found out that the Lab 1000 amp above puts out about 52Vrms. If the 3012LF´s are limited at 50V then I should be able to drive them "all the way" without breaking stuff (on paper), right?

Thanks guys! I´m having a hard time finding any RMS numbers for the Lab Gruppen amps. 15 years ago I heard 2x 15 horns being driven by an old Lab 1000 amp and it was seriously loud. The same amp has figures like this in the manual: 8ohms FTC 20 Hz-20 kHz @ 0.1% THD: 350W EIA 1 kHz @ Clip (1% THD): 3...

I´m thinking of building 2x T30´s with Eminence 3012LF´s in them and I´m wondering what kind of amp to match that power with. Do you have more wattage in the speakers or in in the amps or equal in both. For example the 3012LF´s can take 450WRMS, how much amp do you use for that? Let´s say you´d want...
