Re: 2 x DR250 build, based on March 2012 plans

Why does the melded (and flat) array in these latest plans need to be airtight? The array is in a self contained module, with it's back plate sealing the driver chamber... It doesn't, that's one of the advantages to the new DR revision. I don't recall if I changed the array section of the plans to ...

Re: 2 x DR250 build, based on March 2012 plans

This may seem like an odd question...

Arrays are done, but it occurred to me as I was checking over the plans:

I guess that would work as well. After my error, I'm just following the plans (not that I wasn't trying to do so before)

Re: 2 x DR250 build, based on March 2012 plans

Dumb question -- why not remove the piezo from the horn first? Three screws, lift, and separate! Fair call! It becomes more obvious when you build a melded array. Part of cutting up the piezo's is taking a slice off the outer part of the barrel, and sometimes, not always, part of the screw head (du...

Re: 2 x DR250 build, based on March 2012 plans

That's good to hear. I have a 10" 60 tooth that I was going to use to cut 60 tweeters with in the next two days. Thanks for the heads up. I reckon the I can place the time when the tooth got chipped! I dived in a bit hard on one cut and on that particular piezo it took more of the barrel and c...

I see that has brick wall limiting, but it's not also a crossover with HP and LP though is it?

Looking good. Bet the excitement is building :) It's getting to the "I want it done" stage lol. Making the mistake I did knocked the wind out of my sails a bit. Shouldn't have, as from the outset I thought it likely there would be some hitch. I'll just have to suck it up, there's a way to...

Re: Brickwall limiter options?

The BBE DS24 will be under $300, you may find one used cheaper

The newer model BBE DS26 is under $300 new.

There are other brands as well...

Re: 2 x DR250 build, based on March 2012 plans

Day 9. 4 hours including cleanup. Lots of mess today... Doing the melded array has been worrying me! Since I hadn't started on the module, and the array needed to be done sometime... I built 3 jigs to cut the piezo's with my compound miter saw. I needed to do this because the miter saw cuts down rat...

Re: GTD amps

The real story is further on down in the listing.
2 x 250W at 8 ohms
or 2 x 500W at 4 ohms.

It's not usual for the output at 4 ohms to be twice that at 8 ohms.

See if you can find more info on their website...

What were you thinking of using the amp for?
