:side issue:
I set the limiters with sine wave at 60hz to 50 volts. Was able to turn it on/off, up down, even distorting, and the limiter did what it is supposed to without clipping the amp. But then I played actual music (bass heavy) and I found clipping on my amp, even before limiting. Why would that happen? Is there a certain freq which is more sensitive? I'm using XTIs and using the internal DSP. Maybe I need external DSP. But I am using external limiting.... hmmm....
:end note:
They have 3012LF and are 16 inches wide. I trimmed off the top and bottom corners to take some weight off. Plus I like the way they look like that (like the Ampegs) Found no leaks yet, each one sounds like I expected. Not as deep sounding as I like, but nice and loud like I like. Much better "smoother" sound than my old Risson horn, just about as loud (same drivers). BUT when wall loading with the V-plate, that makes a huge difference. I love free output. Also smaller and less weight even though it's 4 boxes to one box, much happier this way.
Over all, without pushing them hard yet, I would say that I am not as WOW as others seem to be about it. I do agree and would recommend to anyone to try these out. They are very nice sounding and, so far, have tons of potential! Of all the direct radiator and rented mackies I've used, these are far above the bar in quality of sound. and I only spent about $1000 for all four. An upgrade well worth the time it took.
Thanks to gdougherty for the OT12s saved me another 6 months of work...
