you're right...but in fact i've made a mistake cutting the piezzos...i cut them too wide, not really too wide but just 1,5 mm too wide :bash: and i glued them without verifying the total size :cop: ....
so only 9 rows of 2 piezzos instead of ten in my arrays.

and no f****** sound out of the boxes... :cussing:
well i think it's a cable problem in fact. i wired my speakon connectors for the passthrough function (1+/1- for the subs and 2+/2- for the DR), and i think that my LA24 poweramp is wired with the 1+/1- version...
i'll check that tomorrow :broke:

Yes that's done !!!!!
just a little manipulation in my neutriks connectors and they live !!!!
My god, it's just amazing.
what could i say: sharp, the sound is sharp...maybe a little bit aggressive over 5k but with a good sound analysis and the help of my equalizer, everything will run :)
i'm also quite impressed by the fact that the bottom is also quite decent...very punchy !
next stage for me will be 2 jack 12 and two T30 !

ok so this evening i've tried them on footstands, made just a little real time analysis with Smaart, used the full parametric system of my 24.4 to equalize the sound in my room...not very difficult.
i've launched itunes, looked for a masterpiece...Lisa Hannigan "ocean and a rock" (yes, to my ears it's the perfect masterpiece to test a FOH) ....BAAAAAMMMMMMM
my god, incredible !
a true dream ! i was about to cry (seriously no joke)...pure sound, pure emotion..."les poils dressés" as we're saying here :)
tomorrow i'll try with a 31 bands eq to have something perfect.
