Ive finally finished my first of a planned pair of t60. You might have seen my build thread Dave's T60 build thread that i posted the other day. It ended up a very rushed build to get one of the cabs finished in time for a Dub/D&B club night in my local student union.
here is a picture of the cab before sealing it up, as you can see, i didnt have time to paint it as this was on the afternoon of the gig and i still needed to get there and set up!
The set up for this club night is usually 4xt48 and 4xdr280 in a fairly small capacity concrete bunker of a venue in the student union. Having tried various placements for the subs ive ended up just clustering them in front of the dj booth and firing straight into the dance area. Yes its not perfect but at least it gets bass on the dance floor. Corner loading in the only available corner with 6xt48 actually had a null at the dance floor.
the system is run from a driverack PA to yamaha p5000 for tops and yamaha p7000 for the t48s. usually 35-100hz for subs.
this time i added a behringer ep4000 (950wpc @4 ohm) to run the t60 from 25-50hz, and shifted the t48s up to 50-100hz.
I didnt have any time at all to experiment so i just ran with that.
The t60 was placed on the other side of the room, at the edge of the L of the room.
hope that makes sense. its a wierd room. And that pic is not really to scale.
fired up the system and Boom, it worked first time!
All the DJs for the night were standing next to the t60 and going Wooooooowww every time a track dropped.
i cant wait to try this system in a big enough area for it to breathe properly. im pretty sure i will be more than happy with the depth and output.
oh yeah and we strapped a couch on top and got plenty of 'Passengers' All night.
