O top 12 jarray build

#1 Post by ibgross »

Starting on the new PA. First up is 8 Otop12 jarray cabs. This is my first BFM build. I have built many direct radiator subs in past along with tops. Now that I am no longer 25 years old (almost double that) and "bullet proof" thought it would be good for me to have something lighter. Better performance is the added bonus. Pics to follow when I reduce the size to upload.

This thread is over two years old and the original poster only has 13 total posts.....got a feeling they aren't around anymore.

But, who knows....maybe they check in once in a while.

I am still here and check the site every so often. I have been terribly distracted with buying acreage, managing rental property, graduating kids, recovering from storm damage not to mention running sound and or playing most weekends. Still play real baseball at almost 50 too. My wife thinks I am crazy but hey I can still hit an 80mph fastball why not? I will complete them along with the 8 39's. This site rocks and has taught me so much along with reinforced many of my sound engineering skills along the way. You are all a bunch of fine individuals... Thanks!
