:emoji_thumbsup: :thumbsdown: Anybody try to modify the AV8 to encorporate phase plugs?? The concept sounds as though it would be a good idea. Any thoughts Dan

Michael Xover looks good. I admire your originality, using FETS. You may want to look at designing a notch at around 2k2 to help tame the AV8s peak. Also, from what I have read, MTM designs usually exhibit a peak in frequency response in relation to the centres of the M the T...

Anybody ever attempt to remove the passive xovers in their KIT281’s and replace them with an active xover?? Dan

Jones_rush So how much is the software you need to run??? Dan

IMO Its not the duty that is the issue, its the f@#$*%^ brokerage fees to inform you that there is no duty...a tax to tell you if you should pay tax and how much....

I have tumult and BFD. My best results are to move the sub away from the corner and use bass traps. I have my sub fire up....aprox. 2 feet in the air and about 4 feet away from my longest dimension (17'). I also have 1 bass trap (a bookcase with a bag of insulation behind it) in the furthest...

Sound cards usually put out "line level". Bryston 4bs have two gain controls on the front. A mini flat head screw driver will work to adjust them.

Nice goin' John, you just gave me the "line array" Bug:) Like I dont have enough DIY projects on the go. Great job! Dan

Johnathan I am currently designing and will build a balanced in to line out mic preamp (complete with phantom power) for my ECM 8000 mic. The problem with a battery powered unit is that the mic's specification suggests phantom power between 15 and 48volt. This means +-9v and +18v or 3 9volt...

Actually, there is a much better article on crossover design written by John Kreskovsky than the one Dan Wesnor has linked to. It can be found here: Transient Perfect 2nd Order Xover Design Perhaps the xover design nightmare for multiple drivers can be found in it.

I think a sealed kit251 would go quite nicely with my Tumult. So...Adire....Where is it?? Dan

I have kit281s and i think they sound great... but really should you not compare like sized drivers to each other....kit281s use 8 inch drivers and A/V3s use 6.5 inch ...not a fair comparison IMO....Adire sells a new driver; AV5 (5.25 inch) ...anyone hear this driver? Dan

My living room size is approx. 200 sqft. My house is an "open" design so you can add the dining and kitchen in for a size of approx. 350 sqft. Having said all that, my Tumult powered with the AVA250 kicks a :) :) Yah the amp clips when i drive my system too loud but too loud is too loud...
