Do it ;)
I actually already had a pair of Altec diy's that had concrete looking paint on it. The 9cf cabinet never blended very well. I was originally thinking for Ferrari red but the give size may be too much, now thinking white maybe in the running.Quote:

They are too big for red, I think.
White, I probably would do myself, to try to blend them in with the walls.
Green would be a nice tribute to 4313b and his hair color! ;)
British Racing Green maybe? :)
The British Racing green looks good too. I wonder how they would look in shag:rotfl:. Blues Brothers is one of my all time favorites.

Last week Thursday I received my DCi 4|300N and with much excitement began unpacking it. After about 3-4 minutes of the amp performing it's thing during power up Audio Architect detected it. I soon found out I would be needing a network switch since the amp only has one Ethernet port and that will be used for the EC-V. The next day as luck would have it, Goodwill had one with box for $4.99. Happily I went home and began setting up the amps network.
3 hours later of trying everything I realized the network switch just wasn't going to work. I wasn't even planning to have it in the main system, but figured I needed it for initial startup. Defeated:(.
The next day I thought to myself what would happen If I loaded the setting on the Amp and the EC-V separately and try it a set of test speakers. It actually worked and was as happy as I was relieved because the end is near. After an hour or so using the test speaker on all 4 channels I decided it's time to hook up the real deal. The volume was kept low because the kids were sleeping but my first impressions were not good, then I realized the right woofer was not playing. After checking all connections I still found nothing. I decided to check the settings in AA. Everything looked as it should but reloaded the amp just in case. This worked. By now the kids are up and other things needed to be done around the house so I loaded a CD and put it on repeat and closed the door(No Grills yet and Kids:eek:). This ran for about 2 hours. I shut everything down and waited for about another 2 hours to see if the channel thing would return. It did not. After a small listening session I must say these speaker are dynamic as hell and the horn dispersion is unbelievable. Also the SPL is plenty with the 4|300. I wasn't able to get a total impression of the sound yet because the placement is not proper yet. Should be able to get that done tonight.
Note: because the EC-V was showing as "unmatched" in AA and wouldn't match using the "Auto Match" button, I had to call BSS on Friday. They told me to select the EC-V under the "Found Devices" folder and click and drag it over to the EC-V representation in AA. BSS has done a great job with AA and finding the devices. It took twice as many hours finding my BLU-100 in LA.
Thanks,

regarding dsp, one minidsp opendrc-di per speaker would be the best choice, I think.Quote:

Purchased one of these Itech amps. Manufactured date was 11/2014. Unit was apparently factory serviced by Crown in 11/2015. There was a certification/checkout card in the box. Unit looks new and performs as well as my bought new Itech5000. Highly recommended.Quote:

Those looked very tempting, thanks for posting.
Hallo!
Very good amps those I-tech HD. Read the manual, lot's of great features.

That along with the forward looking equivalent resistance of 7.1 Ohm, (into the pad/driver), would fall into the ball park with about a seven Ohm impedance. This would certainly become a part of the high pass network.

Yes, that's pretty hard to argue with! Wow. Are the pad resistors per the schematic?

Hi Scott
Did you ever get around to measuring what resonance frequency you got from the ports in your M2 cabinet?
Fs of the 2216Nd is 36Hz mechanical from the TechBot file but seem to be all the way up to 39,3Hz from the Mlssa measurement also posted in the same document.
Some post in the lengthy M2 thread seem to indicate that the system Fs is 27Hz for the M2 system.
Not really sure what happens then. I will post a separate thread on that. -Also posting this question in the other DIY M2 thread.
Kind regards

Hi Rob,
I also have not measured anything yet. I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 last week and still need to get a microphone. I'll be sure to post any findings when I get it set up. Unfortunately time is limited right now.
Thanks,
Scott
