Omni 15 TallBoy for sale

O15TB, built per plans in 2009, still have the receipts from Leland from Speaker Hardware, who hooked me up with the 3015LF when I had ordered the Delta15LF! This cab still delivers powerful sound. Driver complement: Eminence 3015LF, Alpha 8 mid and ASD1001 comp driver with selenium horn. Great bass...

Re: Dual Loaded Table Tuba by a Teenager

Every room is different, and with a single bass source, experimentation and compromise are par for the course. You will need some sort of EQ and measurement capability to make your system as flat or as boosted as you'd like.

Re: Dual Loaded Table Tuba by a Teenager

I remember my Table Tuba. Never had felt 30Hz with that kind of clean spl in my home prior to it. I remember re-listening to so many tracks/films after I built it...

Now you need 2+ THTs, to reach another 10+Hz lower...

Re: Dubwoofer's Tuba HT build

Difference between 28V and 35V: 2.5dB

If you need more low end, build another. +6dB.

Re: Dubwoofer's Tuba HT build

Unless you are comparing the eD with the THT from the same location, it is difficult to arrive at any conclusions. The room changes freq response a lot, and you would need to compare the THT from the same location the eD had. If your amp is putting out a clean 300W, that is all the THT will need, un...

Re: TLAH Pro - CNC Build

I couldn't help myself a few days ago and installed all of the speakers before putting the finish on, just to see what it would look like. This gives an idea of the finished product (sorry for the crappy phone pic): http://www.deadmanpedals.com/ForumImages/tlah/unfinished.jpg Wow that's nice. Too b...

Re: 9-driver SLAs L/C/R and TT/THT Home theatre odyssey

SLA needs EQ like most speakers do once in a room, and yes, the center channel sealed variant sounds different than the L/R ported variant, mainly the difference is low frequency extension. While my L/R SLAs can only really reach to 150Hz or so, the Center can reach to 100Hz. My SLAs are NOT per pla...

Re: myn's Tuba HT Build Thread

JEEEEEEEZZZUS...... 122dB at the LISTENING POSITION??? I hope you weren't subjecting yourself to that for very long without hearing protection...Dolby Reference calls for 121dBs only when all channels are playing a loud low freq peak at once.... But seriously, that sucks about your neighbors...I mus...

Re: myn's Tuba HT Build Thread

Good to hear everything went well...congrats! I will have to say, you are being very careful with it...24Hz 48dB high pass? I'm using a 24dB LR at ~13Hz for mine. Break out the REW, you'll find that you can cross much lower and less steep without angering the THT...it just depends on playback level....

"The only downside is it's viscosity isn't as thin as the glues so it won't seep into the crack as nicely." That's what the syringe is for...see if you can source one at a vet supply or feed store...not sure if large pet stores will carry them....but if you know a vet real well and they a...

Re: myn's Tuba HT Build Thread

No....it is not a myth. Depending on the type of RTV, it can outgas ammonia, acetic acid (vinegar), alcohols, or cyanates (cyanate outgassing RTV is probabaly not available in hardware stores). Polyurethane foam (If that's what the DVC surround is made of) is cyanate based, IIRC, like all urethanes....

Re: myn's Tuba HT Build Thread

If you are afraid of using hot-melt near the foam surround (I sure as hell would be) use a silicone sealant, especially if there will be ANY compression of that felt-like material. I like using the clear stuff; comes out white out of the tube, as it vulcanizes, turns clear. I use Dap's Kwik Seal Plu...
