I thought about T-nuts or the like, but with this setup I can reverse the bolts and put the wing nut and strap on the inside for hauling and storage. The rounded head of the carriage bolts won't catch on anything, and they make nice glides!LelandCrooks wrote:For the next go round you might consider these. More money than the washer setup, but would be very pretty. Captive nuts, 1/4 is the biggest I've found though.
BTW, your screws are on the way.
I don't have 8! These are the first four. The stands will go 18" higher, so I can get 6 on them and still stay at 6' above ground. As I said in a previous post, you'd need to be on an elevated platform to do 8 and use them as a J array. I would not, however, go any higher. It would be too unstable. The other cabs would need to be hung below, thus, with a 4' high stage the bottom cabs would only need to be 2' high.Mikey wrote:Have you tried putting eight DR200s on it yet, as planned? I'm curious if, when you have eight on there, you will have all of the cabinets straight, with no angle on the bottom cabs, since the bottom of the array will then be considerably lower.
And quite frankly, I never see myself using more than 4/side. That's a lot of juice and coverage, Bill rates that at 1,000 people, and we all know his estimates are conservative.
If I used 16 of them, it'd be 8 T-39's, 22" wide, 12LF. Bill states that one T-39 will handle 2 DR200's. Pack space is a huge concern, as is storage.Mikey wrote:What bass bins will you be using with sixteen DR200s? Eight T48s?
I can see myself using 3 per side on a fairly regular basis. With that, 2 T-39's coupled should be able to keep up. I need to build one more T-39 and make a coupler to try it out.
(top cab sat on the tray, lower cab hung from the tray...but a different stand arangment)..perhaps send you the drawings at some point.
