HAY ERRBUDDY! I missed all my speaker nerd friends!

I've been trolling the forum a bit the last couple days and it seems I've missed quite a few updates! I *never* got to finishing up the T30s, nor the last two OT12s... but I still have all the parts (minus the wood that was donated to another few projects).

I haven't done a large scale gig in over 2 years, but the new groups I'm involved in are wanting me to DJ. One is potentially a really awesome, super nerdy event that I'm crossing my fingers I get awarded.

However, if I do this one, I need to cover around 500 in a ballroom. I'm planning on building two more T39s @ 24" (total of 6) loaded with 3012LF that are in my closet. I'm also planning on building two flat array OT12s loaded with 2512s (total of 4). I probably need to replace a good number of the melded tweeters on my existing ones, as well.

The tops will be powered by Peavey 1600, subs by Crown Xti2000.

Soooo, should I bug Bill for the latest updates, or just go with my 3-4 year old plans?

I'd say yes on the OT12 updates, but stick with the old T39s.

I had to make that same decision a year or so ago. I think the old style Titans look easier to build - and I don't like the look of the giant front cover on the new ones.

But, get the update and do some comparing - that's what I did.

My two cents.

I've only built the updated Titan plans, but the old design looks like you would need to have a doctorate in gynecology to install or change the driver.

Pretty much!
BTW, welcome back! 'Bout as crudgedy as it's ever been

Welcome back BZB.

Hey thanks fellas

That's friggin hilarious. Yes, it can be a pretty tight when trying to get those bottom screws into the driver

Thanks for the tips. I'm not a fan of the giant door, either... so I'll probably stick with the tried and true. I'll definitely ping Bill for the new OT12.
