New subwoofer Stack
Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2022 4:02 pm
Hello All
I'm the sound tech, for a small art-group in northern Arizona.
I got serious about upgrading our system and learning more about running it about a year ago and quick came across this forum. I've been impressed with the knowledge and the designs ever since.
I finally got to a point where I can start thinking about building out a new subwoofer array and I want some advice on which ones to go with.
Pack size is not really an issue, I can transport as much as I need to, but I prefer scalability and ease of transport.
The system will be used primarily outside and off of generators.
I have a berhinger erurocack mixer, and a driverack pa+.
My current tops are 4x JBL eon-15P
I have a Crown XLS 1500, running 2 15" 1000w Walmart subs in 24" square boxes.
Then I just bought a stack of Crown Micro-techs
I have 1x 1200 and 4x 2400 as well as 2x Macro-tech 2400
What Ive been thinking is to build 8 max width T45s.
Would the xls 1500 be able to run 4 of them? Would 1 MT2400 run all 8? Not at war-volume.
Then as time/budged allows, I'd like to build 4 more subs and replace my tops with probable 4-6 DR250s.
We do play enough weird bass music to want the system to get down as low as is reasonable, which is why I was leaning towards the Tubas over the Titans. So that I could still get really low with only a few boxes, instead of the whole array.
I'm very open to changing all of my plans though, I'm still very early in my build and I have to save up before I can buy any wood or speakers.
I just received my plans last week and I'm very excited to at least be thinking about the nex (first?) step.
P.s. I showed my roommate the plans for the truck-tuba this morning and he said it was the nicest looking truck sub design he had ever seen. Good Job Bill!
