Uses for a single SLAP

[Keryn O'Shea]

These are the HiFi frankenshorties built from the other SLA, they look weird, but sound nice! Crossed at 5.5k 3rd BW with Jantzen filters, I fumbled around for a while with impedance, though settled on 16ohms, the drivers are 8ohm series wired Jaycar 6.5" Hifi/GT302 tweets with an 8ohm resistor paralleled on the tweet filter output (cheater, yea..), the sub is a 28" Lab15 T30, powered by an ancient Pioneer receiver with a 200w Sure HiFi D amp for the T30. One day I'll fit a second top hat for a safer spiral array if they go outside, they do well in the Billiards room. That AT sitting there, is that affecting LF output just by being in the room? I ask as the next room over has the second T30, and a LAB15 THT also in the same room, not using them together though, one system is HT, the other at my work desk for 2.1 sound.

Is it me, or do I spy a Dayton Audio KABD-4100 in there too? Or, is that the Sure?

It could be mate, this was bought through Sure though, the AA-AB31243

The input attenuator works well, auto standby. Its turned -13 detents to be balanced for my liking

It is. In effect it's a bass trap.

Move it to cover the mouth: either face down on the floor or flush to the wall. Or remove it completely.

Or, leave it there......it might help the sound of the low end. Lots of money gets spent in studios on bass traps. You have a free one there. Move it around so see where it helps the most.....or, if it sounds good, leave it right there.

Roger that, thank you!

It's face down atm, but..

That sounds like a cool exercise! Could I market the AT to the HiFi crowd , what would you call it..? A "Passive Horn Bass Trap"..? I could fit speaker spikes and gold plated corners

Thank you for the responses

Don't laugh, audiophools will believe anything.
