Re: Jack 15 Lite Build

Thank you, Seth and Bruce. More power over new driver wins. I have one of those amps, it can handle the crossover for you too. However, I doubt seriously that you'll be able to fit it in there at all. If I remember my Jack 15 build, there's no way it will go between the driver and the back cover. C...

Re: Jack 15 Lite Build

I will do that on the next one, Bill. Thank you. Tested this cab out without the tweeters just for fun. Been exploring more amplifier options for more output. Currently has the Kappalite 3015 wired to a 2x50wrms (rated at 4 ohms) amp board for first demo. Likely getting around 20 watts. A 4 ohm woo...

Just make sure the Auto Feedback is turned off.

In about 1977, a guy came up to the stage of our country band and asked, "Can ya'll play Smoke on the River?"

Re: XF 210 Depth

I am building the XF 210 and need to add 3/4" to the depth to line up with the depth of the matching head unit my son and I built, which will sit on top. I assume the added depth will have no negative sonic consequences but hope to get some confirmation. We are installing a pair of Eminence Ra...

Dayton Audio PPA800DSP on sale

Re: Chinese knock-off Driverack PA2

As the President and Founder of the Cheap Bastard Society, I totally understand the desire to save money. If a company wants to try and reverse engineer a product and change it just enough to keep the patent office at bay and not break any laws, fine....as long as they put their own name on it. I dr...

Re: Chinese knock-off Driverack PA2

Personally, I'd never buy a counterfeit product. It's unfair to dbx as they are stealing their intellectual property. Now, if they put their own name on it, that's one thing - but they are trying to dupe the public into buying a fake.

Whether or not it works is immaterial.

Re: In line, real time voltage meter

I tried this once by hooking up my voltmeter paralleled to the speaker cab during a show. Because of different impedances of frequencies and it not being a consistant signal.....it was pretty much useless. Bounced all over the place.

In my climate, a couple of hours of curing time and I can use my trusty old sharpened putty knife to take the bead off cleanly with no smear.

But the otop15 runs steady to at least 50-55, right?
Scroll down to the Jack15 vs OT15 comparison....

Can't really help you with the 16 ohm drivers, but why an OT15? A Jack 15 would be much better for bass guitar.
