How many different designs have you built?

#1 Post by Chris_Allen »

There is always a recommendation that people buy the CD/full set of plans as most of us know where it leads! So, just for fun, let's see have many different designs we've built to try and justify this decision.

I would politely ask the auth builders not to vote! :lol:

Chris.
Built:
6xDR200, 2xT39, 2xT48, 2xJack110, 1xOmni10.5, 1xAutotuba, 1xT18, 1xSLA Pro, 1xW8, 1xW10

Bought about 7 plans, built 3 different types. Still considering buying full set. Like blessing Bill. :hyper:
2xJ12L (3012HO) switchable/melded
2xT30

Words&graphics - Audio&Acoustics - Hardware&DSP; 3 different paradigms.

Built 4 different plans, but I really like having the whole CD in order to check other stuff that I might want to build....and it's easier to help other folks with their build when you can go look at the actual current plans.

My signature only shows 3 different cabs, but I built WH10s also and sold 'em to Haysus.

6 - T39 3012LF
4 - OT12 2512
1 - T24
1 - SLA Pro
2 - XF210

The price of the CD assumes that few people will actually build more than ten or twelve of the designs, otherwise I'd charge $299. Having all of them gives the CD owners the opportunity to sift through them and choose which ones will work best for them.

+1

I bought the CD with no intention of building more than a handful of the designs. I was looking for the one (1) top, and one (1) sub design that I wanted to use. I have also built two other designs with friends, who bought their own set of individual plans after looking over my shoulder at the full set on the CD.

Now, years in, I am looking at two other designs to build as a re-factoring of my system to meet my evolving needs. Having the full CD allows me to fully consider my options.

Having the CD also allows me to play along at home when other people post their build logs. :hyper:
10 T39S + 10 DR200 + 1 T48

I've finished one, have purchased speakers and parts for TLAH (2), a THTLP, a truck tuba, and an SLA pro that strayed from the plans.

All are in various stages of being built.

I wish I would have bought the entire CD instead of buying 6 separate plans.
Current HT Setup
TV - Vizio e701i-a3
Denon AVR-X2000
9 driver Curved SLA center channel
Rebuilt Bose 4000 L/R
Single 4" rears
Table Tuba w/ MCM 55-2421

I bought plans for the tht, tlah, and slas to start with. After I built 2 thts, 2 9 driver tlah, and a 9driver curved sla center I decided I liked building these speakers so I ordered the cd of plans. Since the, I have built:
2 - Otop12s
2 - 2x10 t30s
1 - 1x10 t30 (under my computer desk!)
1 - Table Tuba long style
1 - Table Tuba standard
2 - sla pros
1 - Jack 12 (back patio tv speaker!)
2 - Auto Tubas

I truly build just for the fun of it - and to impress my friends and my kids' friends. My "garage stereo" can really piss off my neighbors! It's amazing how loud 2 double 10 loaded t30s and 2 sla pros in a garage. Now I need to build another design or 2 so I can be in the 10+ category. Go big or go home.
2 THTs, 2 TLAH, SLA curved, 1 8-AT, 1 AT JBL 1002D, 4 Otop12s, Jack 12, TT with Eminence 10", 2 SLAs, 1 T30 slim, 2 T30s (2-10" each), SLA Pros, TrT.

bought the CD, built three types of cab so far.

Anything is possible in the future, if I win lotto.

Hell, even if I change my mind...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

Built 4 designs, CD made sense as $100 is honestly a bargain for the kind of knowledge and detail contained within.
4xOT12s, 2xT39s@22", TTLS@18", 2xT60@18"

That makes me think...

Hey Bill... you should consider renaming a cab "Goliath." Just because.
99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.
