Titan 48's

#1 Post by James R »

I used 2 -Titan 48's outdoors today under a 40 x 60 foot tent at a festival I have been doing for 12 years now.
The punch was well outside the tent a good 80 feet no problem, people sitting outside were tapping there feet and smiling.
I didn't center clutser them or put both on one side but placed one on each side and it was just right, a friend who teaches
recording at the loacal college and is a good sounman in his own right stopeed by. He was very impressed with the tight punchy sound
he asked are those 18's? :lol: I replied nope single 15 his response :shock: priceless. Anyway he hung around I grabbed him and told him to lift the cab.
Again priceless he couldn't believe how light they were, because he used to have the old (8) EAW refrigerators and I had bought 2 off him.
Bill Thank You for a great design can't wait to get my tops going in a couple of weeks.

I can lift a T48 in the back of my stationwagon all by myself (and I don't use any levarage technique) :D . These are VERY light indeed (while being heavy on the sub bass :wink: ). Mine are about 55kg (121 lbs).
BF cabs built to date:
2x T48 21" 3015LF; 1x T48 24" 2xBP102; 1x DR250 2510 loaded, cross firing; 4x DR200 Beta 8, melded array; 1x TT HL-10c; 2x WH Beta 8, melded 'array'; 3x AT 15" Tang Band W8-740P; 1x AT 15" JBL GTO1014

My 24" wide prototypes were built from pine, came in at 90 pounds, Arauco would be probably 10 pounds less.

What are yours? 2x12's? Bill is spot on. My 30" with plentiful weight relief in the bracing weigh in the low 90's using 1/2" Arauco. 121lbs seems heavy for a T48 unless it's a dual driver ferrite magnet monster.

Darn, I had those 55kg's in my head, because that was what I measured with the first T48 I built, which was built with MDF and 2 BP102's for cost matters :roll: . I 'forgot' the new one I built were 21'' wide, 3015 loaded, 9mm pine ply inside and 12mm BB on the sides. Those are definately a lot lighter :mrgreen: (about 10 kg's or so). The bad thing is.... I can't remember what they weigh exactly :conf: :oops: :oops: :evil: . But it is definately less than 55 kg's. (I have them stored at a friend's place, so I can't wheigh them at the moment, otherwise I would. I'd like to know right now, y'all made me curious now)

My mistake, I'm sorry :oops:

I know why davygrvy (? , or was it someone else?) had to put sandbags on his autotuba sixpack :lol: . I wonder if 2 T48's would stay on top of eachother nicely of one was to make a 'quad V-stack'... I would not be surprised if they were able to move themselves a little with every beat :P . That's how light and loud they are...
