Glad you brought up STI. The company I work for does alot of commercial fire alarm business. It's not here quite yet, but I can see STI certification requirements looming on the horizon for voice...
Thanks for all the responses. What the spec says is that they want left and right speaker system frequency response, center array frequency response, speaker system phasing, and SPL uniformity. We're...
Hi guys. I need a recommendation for some analyzer software. I've been out of the loop for a number of years, so I'm not familiar with what's the latest and greatest. In addition to designing sound...
Yeah, you have to understand that's just the way they are. No nonsense, just music. They were once described by a critic as "loitering on stage"... Personally, I prefer them that way. I am more...
Ditto on the Steely Dan Two Against Nature DVD!
Old news, but The Eagles Hell Freezes Over concert DVD is also excellent! The audio and video quality is among the best I've heard and seen.
Interesting stuff! FWIW, my '68 Fender Showman has two D140's in it and they have aluminum dust caps.
Nice setup! I am interested in the use of the two Altec 1567A mixers. I have a pair that I've owned since high school that I haven't fired up in years.
Yeah, I remember when his system was all Fender Twins stacked on top of Showman speaker cabs with 15" JBLs. I was impressed enough at the time (mid '70's) to go out and buy a '68 Fender Showman with...
Hard to explain? Hard to imagine! Heehee! Hey, the family that rocks together, stays together! Awesome!
Is that..... Ted Nugent? :eek:
I too am using a DC300A. It's bridged mono driving a single Sub1500. Sounds great!
The biggest problem with adding internal bracing to these cabinets is getting the bracing inside. The boxes are completely assembled and painted with NO holes cut when you take them out of the box....
They are completely assembled and finished, including the grill. All you will have to do is cut the hole for the woofer and mounting screws (get the "Hurricane" t-nuts from PE. Very nice), the hole...
Just bought one of those for a "quick fix" for one of my Sub 1500's. You are correct in that they are kinda "flimsy". Don't get me wrong, they are well made, but constructed with 3/4" MDF and the...
Lodoc,
I told you they'd have the answer! :D Hope you are able to get them repaired without difficulty. Good luck!
Just be careful of the turn-on transients! I used to have a CS-400 and it worked great, but had a gawd-awful turn-on pop! If I still had it, I'd install a speaker mute relay.
Tom,
I would also recommend more than 250 watts. The Crown amp that I'm using is pushing more than 600 watts and it's, as Mr. Widget says, "comfortable". I wouldn't go with any less.
I finally broke down and bought the pre-made 3 cubic foot box from Parts Express. I got tired of waiting for my shop to get built, so I took the leap. I wish they still carried the kits with the 1"...
While we're on the subject of amplifiers, what d'ya guys think of the Crown PSA-2? I've seen a few on ePay lately, and they seem to have quite a bit of power. Decent amp?
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try that on the knobs. They are raw aluminum and should respond well to the treatment.
It sure is nice having all of this knowledge available to us "rookies"! Thanks for all of the research and info! Until I get my garage built (this Spring-Summer), building speaker boxes is not the...
Please forgive my ignorance, but is a Qtc of .7 considered to be "optimally flat"?
Any more conclusions on the optimum box size (sealed)?
Yeah, I wouldn't trade mine for anything. It was made in 1969. Got it from my grandfather before he passed away. Built like a tank!
BTW, I got one of the crossovers all cleaned up last night. From...
