Thanks Ron. This gives me a good idea of what to expect when I lowpass it. I looks a lot like I how I remember my measurements.
-
Not really much of any advantage IMO other than being able to use different types of amplifiers for different sections. An example would be a high powered cass-d amp for the low end. Some class-d amps don't do well with the high end (aren't accurate…

(Quote) I have always suspected this about power compression. Of course when I posted about it it was shunned lol, and I of course never had proof other than what I have heard with my own ears. Also as you said issues with the sls and pow…

Welcome. My grandpa was an editor and wrote columns for the St. Louis Post.

My understanding is you can passively filter the signal before it arrives at the amps. If I remember correctly you need to know the inputs impedance to calculate the filters. As far as amps driving speakers directly goes it is suppose to be better …

Nice! As far as the 200hz deal goes. If you use Jeff Bs frequency response blender merging far/near field response and including baffle step is a breeze. I don't see many people using this program and it works so well.

I don't know yet but I want to try and keep it small. I remember Paul Carmody modeled it sealed when he was designing the Tarkus and it looked pretty good. I think he ended up with 2cu.ft ported so I imagine 1.5 sealed will be plenty. I was thinking…

I think the second project might be a boombox using a couple (maybe four if needed?) and the tang band 6.5" sub. This would be powered by a 500w class d audio amp in mono (no need for stereo). Could maybe be called Slim FAST.
-
I think I have decided on one project. I think I will use the W4 1337SDF and peerless 830668 in a FAST design. The plan is a fairly small tower with a sealed woofer. I know the tang band isn't optimal off axis but I don't think it will be too much o…

I remember me and a friend driving back from chicago after 2 days of riding motocross and partying and getting home at 2:00 in the morning. Heavy drinking and hungover motocross racing is a great combo lol.

(Quote) Well I haven't had it happen again since I posted about it lol. It was happening when I had multiple tabs open an left the page sit idle for a while. I couldn't use the refresh button so I just clicked the MAC/DIY button. It may ha…

I just found more drivers I had hidden from myself lol. Tang band W4 1337SDF. May have a new contender for a mid in 3 way duty.

Man, wish I had time. Looks like you are coming through my area when you pass by STL.
-
(Quote) IMO The rs28a is too laid back on cymbals which to me is an unrealistic reproduction. Cymbals are suppose to be splashy. I fully agree on your description of the difference in sound between them though. Also were you saying that ri…

A psychiatrist! What are you here to study? You know were all crazy here right lol?
-
(Quote) The dreydels used one of the smaller RS metal drivers. I had a pair and didn't care for them much but I think it had more to do with the woofer. Have you ever had a chance to hear Zaph's BAMTM? It really does the seas tweet and the…

anyone else get a refresh error? my page will get stuck with the cancel refresh "x" and the refresh symbol never comes even though the page is done loading. Seems like this happens when the page sits for a while.

(Quote) I don't know what you are talking about, I only have five motorcycles :)
-
(Quote) Maybe not as they are both the same materials and would have a similar expansion rate. That being said I Have used heat to remove pressed in parts on motorcycle cases (aluminum magnesium alloy) many times. The trick is to try to kee…
-
I didn't say use a torch lol. It is more than likely aluminum or at least an alloy although I doubt it. A lighter might be enough and I doubt it would warp the metal. It will leave a little carbon residue on it but it should wipe right off. You cou…

You might try throwing a little heat on them to get the pieces out.

I can tell you mortar to mdf does not work. I tried. I ended up using pl premium to glue the tiles to mine and then mortar after that.
-
I call the magnet the "block", electricity/magnetic field the "fuel", and the rest is the "piston" :p
-
Also wanted to say I did think about contacting Jeff but had noticed he hasn't been on the forum lately so I assumed he was taking a break from diy. I know he has had some personal stuff going on and didn't want to bother him.
-
Ahh, I see. I use to have the xo diagram but have lost it.

(Quote) Don't know if it has been mentioned but here in MO we have pork steaks. I know a lot of out of staters have never heard of them.

If the woofer behaves well you can cross the tweeter fairly high since driver spacing won't be an issue.
-
My opinion on THD is that people seem to get hung up on it. While i'm sure it does affect the sound I have to wonder to what degree once it gets down to a certain level. I need to start measuring this too. Maybe when it gets cold outside I will brea…

Nice to see someone trying a cheap coax in a 3way. I have always wanted to try a coax. Seems like a lot of people dismiss the cheaper ones just because of small wiggles in the tweeter response that may not even be audible. I have heard some pretty…
