You and your faithful helper must be having a ball making all of those glorious T60's.

Your steel work around the access panel is great, makes it look proper industrial and mean. The stain and poly is a nice touch too. With four casters conspicuously placed underneath you could excuse people for asking a rather apt question eg:

"Wow Zef, were'd you get the flash new flight cases? More importantly, whats in them?" to this you would answer

"Flight cases...pffft! Theses are the subs"

That tone sweep video is bloody gnarly, you've got some serious warfare. With the above "graph" which colour represents which? Did you do this by ear, or do you have some special desert storm technology out there?

Please excuse my ignorance, the title of the thread quoting the term 'Reservation', do you mean like Reservation, as in Mohave desert, saguaro cactus, peyote, mescalun, tepee and Native Indian Folk? I bet you are seriously popular with everybody between the age of about 16 to 35, having some seriously wild parties with the Tri-lithic Trident Of T60 Torture

New Mexico, No Saguros, no teepee, but Navajos, Hoghans, Green Chili and the San Juan River Basin. lol The green is places where it sounded like 3 tubas, red sounded like one tuba, but we slove that problem by flipping the tuba 180 and they sounded like one big speaker

T60 3, camera mic nil as usual.

The teepee arrangement seems pointless unless you count the visual appeal. How about wall or corner loading them according to Hoyle?

We wanted the dispersion to be at chest level 120 degrees from the center of the tri pod with three tubas, seemed the easiest way after spending two hours experimenting with wall loading, corner loading, pointing up and down.

We had four laptops and one computer that were all dedicated to a task and we had only 5 amps of headroom left in our outlets and with no extra laptop otherwise i would have had a dedicated mic recording the whole night.

Dispersion at chest level?
Also have you read the placement sticky?http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewt ... f=10&t=398

Gym has no corners because of the staircases at the corners, we tried boundary loading against the wall and floors and we didn't like it. and v plating is null with the tuba, so we bought the cradle back and flipped the tubas 180 on the z axis from the last test and loved the sounds and then brought it from the back until we found a sweet spot and built the DJ tables around them. it took two hours, but they happily banging out the bass all night at 32 volts. Several local sound-guys and djs nonchalantly took pics and asked questioned and for the most part had a hard time keeping the drool in there mouths.

One guys ask how many speakers was in one box, I responded by saying "how many does it sound like and how big?" He responded "three 21 inch woofers per box?" I laughed because appearently the Tuba 60 is example spatial compression theories bigger on the inside than out, and they would look confused. Another asked where are we keeping the amps and how are we keeping them cool i said over there, 3 facing the dance floor center of the DJ table.

It was a great night and a local Rave group is showing interest in conscripting us. So were going to build three more tubas.

Ah great idea If I ever build a t60 for myself it will be painted as a Tardis for sure.

You might need engineers reports on your venues before you take 6 of them in........ Just in case something (like a wall) isn't going to handle it lol.

You might pop a couple of recessed roof lights out of the ceiling...seriously. Ever seen the video of RollerKnights' 6 T60s? It's immense.

+10000 Awesome idea. Maybe I can get a THTLP into the living room disguised as a Tardis. The misses in my household is a huge Dr Who fan so it just might work...

Zef, you've got an unreal rig! Nice video. Real good helping out the youth too. Everytime I mess about with my Titans I feel like a big kid with a new toy! You must get some seriously good satisfaction each time you fire up your rig.

Best of luck with the local rave company.

I remember a while back about the 27" vs 24" debate, I choose 24 and found it fits two tubas in a Chevy Tahoe with 1|8th of an inch to spare. we had a show where our truck broke down, so we had to use my Aunts Tahoe.
Enclosed are pics of the adventure complete with a dead battery, two hours late and the other sound guy that was doing a electro dance with us pulled out because of Sub-woofer size associated penis envy. Plus we found that the Tri-pod Cradle can be broken down to become a support sled for rooftop transport.

i can't tell from the picture, but you shouldn't have the tuba in the open air, because wind can ho in the horn and break the cone. if you had it forward it would be worst, but backwards still has potential danger because of low pressure area shifts. if anything get a 15$ snowmobile cover from fleet farm or ace. like you said your truck broke down and this was temporary, but just letting you know in case theres a next time...

lol Already thought of, floral foam and blankets to plug the horn up.

Not a bad idea, I just have covers to my disposal so when I get my pack I will use them, because I have a open trailer

"melbourne shuffle", oh no!
