Another weekend without working on this project.
Because I have another project

or how Canadian winter can take a toll on automobiles
This is very common on vehicles 15 years old or more, fortunately we became experts in fixing this, the goal here is to avoid inspection, not to have a new truck

Glad I live in California right now, with all that bad weather back east right now.

I dunno about bad weather, here in the DC area, it was nice all week,
with just a bit of spring rains today ...

That's good to hear. I'll be going through your woods in the last week of July on vacation.

Yes it does suck for the one's who take care of their vehicles.
I even have to have my Dodge diesel smog checked now. They just do a smoke check and visual. I'll give them smoke!

Ok, I'm out to make the first test with those babies.
Today is the first day of the rest of their lives

I hope my friend's neighbours love loud music... I'll keep you posted.

Break any windows yet??

Well, just came back.
Since they're in my friend's garage and he has a tight schedule, I just wanted to drive them.
Didn't have time to make any measurements and obviously I didn't make any adjustments, just rough crossover points and that's it.
No EQing, no correction. The 2426s need to be tamed and the midbass horn has something I don't like but for today it was only juice

It didn't last for long, neighbours came out running asking how long this was going to last.

I know I got the SPL though, we measured 115dB SPL (C weighting) at 10meters with a pink noise.

This translates to 135dB at 1m, litterally ear splitting.

I'm gonna have to find a far away place to be able to calibrate this properly

DIY midbass horm with a B&C 12PE32 powered by a Crown XS500, 400W@8ohm in each driver
Four 2426J on 2370 horns powered by a Crown XS500, 400W@8ohm in each pair (200W in each driver)

Friggin' awesome!

ZOMG - that looks like too much fun -
they'd kill us around here if I started to play with something like that!

Hey Olivier.

Time to spend $50 on casters now. It might save you $500 in chiropractor later
