Hi
So that's PA or home theatre?

Hi
Thanks very much for the info. I couldn't find it on the web.
We were given a couple of wedge monitors and they will probably remain as such in slightly smaller boxes. I'm just repairing...
HI
Just got 2 speakers that don't seem to appear in any catalogues. Does anyone have the specs?
Altec 417-8H Altec 414-8B

OK Thanks.

Hi
Just reconed a 2225 and there was a cloth gauze on the inside of the magnet which was burnt. This could only be seen once the cone was removed. There was no gauze on the square hole/nameplate...
Thanks. Will get round to it when I get time.

That's true. Pockets are empty just now, but also we want to optimize what we already have.

Yes. Just wondered exactly what frequency I should tune my subs to.
If I retune I get the following from WinISA:
34Hz = flat
40Hz = +1dB @ 62Hz
45Hz = +2dB @ 62Hz
50Hz = +3.5dB @ 63HZ...
So any tips on tuning frequency?
The resonance "seems" to be favourable - at least at low volumes - to the punch. The best sounding sub was the one which had half length ports (Someone brought me 2 subs with different port lengths -...
So are you saying that I should still aim at the correct port for absolutely flat response?
Is there anything to be gained from tuning a sub box for live sound to peak at say 55Hz? Would this...
I measured the system and the horn works well at 500HZ -covering the hole that the 2226 leave above that. With EQ it sounds OK but if you add a 12" at 200-500 there is a noticable difference in the...
Hi
I'm used to tuning speaker boxes flat with win ISD. After building some flat subs with 2241s, I compared with some other subs that have the same 2241s loaded. They are also front facing, have...
OK Thanks very much for all the info. I can see clearly how we can improve our system for the future. We can probably hire better amps and see how much more kick we can get. I like the flare idea but...
OK -It seems to be clearer that a mid flare is a good move. What's the idea behind the flare helping to give more efficient mids? I can see that the time alignment would be better but with a...
I always liked the sound of 4560s. Down side is you've got to carry them!
Thanks for the info.
Speakers are cheap to build. Good amps are not . We're just starting out so we're trying to get moving with very little money and have to buy a mountain of gear. The speakers are all ebay and...
We're just getting a 31 band eq and know that the mids are lagging by 5ms so a speaker management system is required.
I'm not sure eqactly what frequencies. Hope to measure it with Smaartlive...
I have asked advice in the past for studio monitoring, but this project is SR. When I started on this project after other speaker building projects, I was surprised that they crossover so low. I had...
So it looks like the general consensus is more 2241's.
I realize the amps are small but the big Crowns are very expensive. Any advice on 1200w amps value for money?
Hope this helps

The subs get 400w + 600w from 2 stereo amps
Mids get 950w 4 ohm
Horns 150w 8 ohms (but set at No 4)
Per Side
Subs and Mids are normally limiting i.e. max power but horns are running at lower...
What's your reasoning?
HI
Our PA consists of:
2 x 2241 18" Subs
2 x 2226 15" Mids
1 x 2445 4" Horn
PER SIDE
I'm finding it is too small for outdoor gigs so I'm thinking of adding 2 more 2226 per...
