Only dj, rather experimental subgenres from psytrance and dnb/breakcore...no live band
Only outdoor (freefield, forest usually), target size between 500 and 800 ppl.
I favour to set pa in the front and dj in foh-position (so not between the stacks)
Stacks usually around 16-20 meters apart, toed in.
Idea in my mind was to keep it upscaleable, so be prepared to cater bigger versions by extending the system. Same sound and setting, just bigger pax.
Not much done today @dr250s, just way to cold to be comfy around there.
Found out that i have severe trust issues @hot melt glue, but i think it will be fine.
I screwed little scraps underneath to hold the tubes in position and spread far enough, i hope that doesn't matter in terms of lost chamber volume. But way simpler that way.
I think i'll leave the glueworm around the round edge for stability (and for my trust issues)
All flush to a sandable distance
the scraps to keep it in place and width
cutting it flush and sanding it tomorrow, when the weather is nice enough
Trust issues result in overglueing i guess, but so everything is filled up and a bit messy
Additional, for the german supply hunters: both cabs went through 1m pieve of ht110, the coupler at the end cut flush. I thought it wouldn't be enough, but it sits perfectly as lang as you have no errors. Cut precisly, and 1m is enough for two cabs without any leftover.

Re: 2 DR250 build - Europe Materials
This might be an answer for you. I thought that for the T30, the V-plate only 2db (3db for T39 and T48). So, if one would add 2db to the red trace, the difference is very little. These two cabs shown are half the width and half the drivers as per your plan so it should give a fair representation of the differences.

If you're looking for maximum output outdoors, Titan is the only way to go. If you build full width (36") 15" loaded T48's you would be WAY ahead of the options you've currently considered. The bottom frequencies the Tuba 60 offers are really only available indoors. Outdoors, to hit the bottom frequency a T60 offers, look at building four times the cab count you're already looking at.Outdoors, you're loocking at 40Hz+ (actually higher than that, but...)Marflinger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 11:47 am Only dj, rather experimental subgenres from psytrance and dnb/breakcore...no live band....
Outdoors, two stacks of 4 full width (36") T48's will way outperform two stacks of 4 T60's (or 4 double 10 loaded T30's).
Outdoors, eight full width T48's would absolutely rock your world and put you in "god" status compared other options.
Ask around .Read T48 reviews.
Indoors, T60's are magic. T30's still pale in comparison to T48.
All that said, you won't be disappointed with any of the options. The T48 will just be the best tool for the job.
Outdoors, T48 is a different animal.
That said, if I needed or wanted (well... I do want it. But...) the bottom frequency the T60 offers, I would only consider building the 20" wide, single 15" loaded version for it's highly valuable bottom end sensitivity. Absolutely amazing.
There's a lot of "behind the scenes knowledge" this is based on, that I don't have the time to dive into. But, the guys who know will agree.
Keryn, (he) has both. If (he) doesn't agree (please say so), I'm not offended in the least. Take firsthand experience over number crunching.
Numbers don't lie.
