Reading material on 2 way and 3 way systems?
SpeakerBoy replied to SpeakerBoy's topic in SPL & SQ / Fabrication
Two way passives? Was thinking about building bookshelf speakers for some locals to make some money on the side. I want to try a three way active one day as it seems like a proper challenge, however, what is gained with three speakers over two, provided the two way is already setup correctly? Ease of reproduction? I was always told to keep it simple. But other than that, I am game for trial and error, and some foolin' around with different sets. That has to be my favorite way to learn by far; not to mention, learning by experience tends to be more rewarding -
If they are the same as the BTL(I don't own a Q, but I do own a BTL), you can do it. You don't need that though. NO gains from such large wire with that kind of power, not to mention how short the amp to sub wires generally are, provided you have them both in the trunk. Cosmetics only.

Ditto.

Shit dude. It'll come together, worry about that arm first. GL on recovery!

Popped a tweeter, faulty unit or user error?
SpeakerBoy replied to hdrox88's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
I literally haven't heard anything positive about it.... Every time it's mentioned, it's being targeted as the culprit of system failure. Should tell you all you need to know. It's garbage. -
I wouldn't even feel good using 1/8" anything in a tight spot let alone as common practice. My woofer snaps screwheads off in 3/4" wood, and it's only on double that power.

Mom's Dell needs a fresh install every four to six months. I don't understand how typing papers and answering work based email can do things to this computer I never managed to do as a teen, with porn, torrented music and movies, gaming, I don't get it at all.

I get earfuls of shit for talking about wanting to tune low. But I love me some lows, I'm excited to hear how it turns out!

Clipped to death perhaps, heated the shit out of the coils and burned off the glue. Efficiency is your friend, you don't need a ton of power to achieve what you're after. I mean overall efficiency by the way, the whole front stage, not driver parameters.

I know the guy who does boxes for D&B in Ft. Wayne, I used to spend my afternoons there after work. He actually tried to talk me out of buying my BTL, offered a DC level 6 with a comp box for 600. I was planning on a visit there for a box once i'm back in town, but not for something like that... It doesn't look like his cuts though. Dig a little deeper? But don't get me wrong, they have a shop mentality. Nothing special there.

*drools profusely* Bump indeed!

I didn't say way off, as my quote will corroborate. However I'm a happy Fi owner and am not so easily sold on the idea that bad sound is automatically the woofer's fault. They are dumb, they do what we tell them to. I've seen it happen, however not with 95% of what I've dealt with, car audio wise.

If two people tell you the same story at the same time how will the words sound? Clearer or mismatched and muddy? Ditch the rears.

The original dustcap was sexy, I wish I could still get my hands on one. -
High xmax

Enclosure design comes first.

Sounds like your box is the issue, not the woofer.

That kind of setup is a small penis.Music is for personal enjoyment, it's cool to be loud, but it's still important to be courteous of others

I'm gonna clean the hell out of it when I get around to ordering a new gasket.Also, are recones as simple as they seem? I get the concept, but I'm not sure how much room for error there is. I want to snag a pink dust cap cone when I replace my current, my surround is horribly scuffed from my wreck. Motor is fine thankfully. Think I'm going to have the basket repainted something funky too, something like the Sig Sauer rainbow finish. That's not paint.....I'm not an idiot, that's why I said 'something like' It's treated. I'm not sure what the finish is called.

My BTL is fully functional; however the cone is horribly dusty and dirty from the previous owner. Any ideas on how to clean it? Didn't wanna wipe it, as moisture seems like a dangerous thing to apply to a paper cone.

Subwoofer enclosure material - MDF versus Plywood
SpeakerBoy replied to jonblack's topic in Advanced Discussion
Does plexiglass or lexan color the sound at all, if you were to do an all plexi/lexan enclosure? Fuck the price tag, but just curious if it's a simple as make the box solid and sealed and you're good to go.
