Chris: I commented in the other thread, but I'll repeat myself here. I absolutely disagree with the assertion that it is always (or even typically) better to use solely the crossover in the pre/pro. People always seem to assume that all preamps/processors do a competent job at crossing...

I absolutely disagree that it is always (or even typically) better to use the crossover in the pre/pro. alone. People always seem to assume that all preamps/processors do a competent job at crossing over between sub and mains. Mine certainly doesn't (e.g., 100 hz 12 db/octave low and high...

Thanks Greg. :emoji_thumbsup:

Greg: Actually, I see the efficiency of the line array as a major selling point for me. In my room, the Linus Array would be equivalent to a 100dB point source. Typical kits would need 4 to 20 times the power (87-94dB point sources seem typical). I'm not in the market for 300 to 1500 Watt amps...

Brian tj: No offense intended, here. You absolutely NEED a good power cable; the only question is what is a "good cable." I've got a couple power cables I'm considering replacing (although I can't quite convince myself that I'm not just into building audio jewelry). I don't think quality cable...

Ron: Why would you care in the least about input power handling? I care about power OUTPUT, i.e. how loud the sub is in the room. Input power handling and actual sound output are not related in the way you seem to assume (that more is better). For example, if you take a driver in a 2...

Maelstrom advantages: 3L displacement (vs 2.5 for Tempest) 1000 Watts powerhandling (vs. 750) 92.9 dB efficiency (vs. 89.1) Maelstrom disadvantages: 20Hz fs (vs. 18.8) 460 L vas (vs. 317) So, in appropriately sized boxes, the Maelstrom will go louder and do so with less power than the...

SethL: My understanding is that the "accoustic coupling" is occuring outside the woofer enclosure, not within the enclosure. Accoustic coupling occurs within the room. You are claiming that a partition within a sub enclosure will drop the combined output of a two woofer sub by 3 dB; How...

It's at least a little bit depressing to resurrect this old thread (have I really been screwing with this for 3 1/2 months?.:frowning: ). Question: what's the best way to protect a polished black lacquer finish? Will automotive wax adequately protect the finish? Should I brush on the...

Spousal ACCEPTANCE Factor. My wife may ACCEPT a speaker project, but she rarely/never approves.;) Speakers aren't an improvement to the decor (in her eyes) but may be acceptable (not hideously ugly). Nothing I want to build (or have built) is an an improvement (to her), so it wouldn't get her...

Thanks, Brian. I'll give it a try.

Please save me from myself. :frowning: SHORT VERSION Large plywood sub enclosure. Vibrates. Sucks. RECOMMENDED FIX? (1) Build new MDF box? Don't want to. Cutting little holes in inner braces is a pain. (2) Glue and screw mdf panels to each side to build MDF box around the ply box...
