Just wanted to recognize Leland and his team at speakerhardware.com!

Superfast service and replies to email! Thanks Leland.

Well I don't have any visual proof but I fired up 1 T39 for my son tonight with my OTB15 handling the highs/midrange and T39 handling the lows and he was like "whoa... that is clean and tight...." He just came back from a week at the Electric Forest Festiva in Michigan" so he has some...

Day 8 was the big panel 6/10 brace install. I just had to do the swoopy thing with them. 20170624_203350.jpg No picture but I did install panels 9 and 11 the previous day. Day 9 was installing the second side on both cabs. Another scary (at least stressful) but successful install. 20170625_173155.jp...

Oh yeah - day 5 was a long day. After dinner I went out and installed the vertical and bottom horizontal flanges on the driver opening. 20170621_205658.jpg Figured I'd wait on gluing in the top horizontal brace until I checked the driver fit. Day 6 I glued in the flange braces - another gooey, gluey...

Day 4 I managed to install panels 3, 4, and 5. All went smoothly. Glue, screw, and shoot some brads makes it go quick. 20170620_113205.jpg 20170620_155306.jpg Also spent some more time on the OTops. Day 5 was the install of the panel 3/5 brace. Man those things are a PITA to get in without getting P...

Well after struggling with making a decision I finally settled on T39s to put my lab12s in. I actually started building just over a week ago on 6/17 and managed to build two cabs in that time - I plan to build two more over the summer. I also started two OTop12s which I'll post in another thread. I ...

Well so far I'm convinced that my decision to build T39s is justified. My Omni Tallboy15 is mostly playing while I'm knocking about in the garage (Jazz bass Guitar Pandora station) and I am constantly impressed with how well it sounds. I know the T39s won't go quite as low (40Hz pack of 4 vs 35 Hz 1...

I have been using Audacity with this plugin to do spectrum analysis of recorded music: http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/. It let's you see the spectrum change as the song plays. It's been pretty useful (Along with Audacity's own spectrum analyzer) to really get a feel for what is happening in the...

Just did a couple cooking events where I had the OTB15 with me. First was a pig roast with about 200 folks at a horse ranch in Perry Park here in Colorado. The speaker was primarily used to provide entertainment for the cook crew but a lot of other folks came by to hang out with us and listen to the...

You only live once!

Of course not, if you were you would have spent thousands of dollars on a bunch of hocus-pocus items like $500 speaker cables, $100 AC cables, little wooden blocks to place the speakers on, etc. You mean I should return those "special" cables :lol: I'm guessing the most expensive cable I ...

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with the results and looking forward to doing the next build. I'm no audiophile but I think the sound is great with plenty of bottom end for my needs.

One more from the front: My 20 year old son came over and listened to it and is excited for me to build the T39s and DR250s. I really had no plans to take things any further but what can I say.....? This is too much fun

Just about there! Crossovers and drivers installed: 20170331_204241.jpg I fired it up tonight and wow! :loler: Managed to annoy the wife pretty good :roll: I just need to figure out the grille situation and dial in the EQ. It definitely seems brighter in the midrange and higher. I did notice that th...

Here's the current progress: 20170329_225019_001.jpg Two coats of Duratex applied and crossovers built - will mount them in cabinet tomorrow. Plan is to fire this bad boy up by Saturday. Trying to decide what to do about a grille. Probably want something to keep beer bottles out and the ranch I cook...
