    How much will sound improve after drywall?

    I dont think adding drywall will effect the bass response at all from those speakers. If they are tinny now, adding some drywall to the walls isnt going to change that. While those speakers are listed at 45hz response, the actual output from 6.5" speakers is probably pretty meager. Are they in...

    Bass Shaker Rubber Isolators

    I build an isolator system for my aura bass-shaker'd couch to prevent vibration from getting into the apartment building structure. I'm running a pair of aura pro's off a 100x2 sony receiver. I snapped a few pics for you guys showing what I did... I took some scrap MDF and cut two pieces to...

    Rebuilding a set of Vintage Kenwood LS-P5000Ks

    yeh...I realize that just dropping in a set of whatever isnt going to give me the best results, on the other hand I'm not looking for $1000 speaker quality here. Lol...where would I get a factory replacement speaker for a 1986 Kenwood box like this!! HAHAHAHAH!!! I ended up going with the...

    Rebuilding a set of Vintage Kenwood LS-P5000Ks

    Hey guys! I recently picked up a set of Vintage 1986 Kenwood LS-P5000k's FOR FREE!!!! They have been sitting around for YEARS unused and look great! They come with the typical 5 speakers in a box from the 80s...lol...but the one that I hooked up sounds really nice! Problem is, the 8"...

    JBL Sub 1500 15" Blowout @ PE

    too bad it wasnt an 8 ohm sub... Looks killer...price isnt that impressive IMHO. Would you rather have one of those, or a pair of Adire Shiva/Tempests??
  13. John_MackieBass

    Would two 2-1/2" ports work for my Titanic ...

    If the ports are not front firing that should help eliminate the port noise as well.

    Behringer Europower 2500: OK for Tumult?

    wow...great deal!!!! I paid 419.95 shipped for my mackie 1400i. That 2500 is cheaper and puts out nearly twice the power!! CRAZY! I'm very curious to see how it performs under some extended stress. Does it come with any onboard crossovers/subsonic filters or the like?

    I just found some BPD1803's for sale!

    Hmm...i'll probably be selling my XXX to get somthing a little less power hungry. Ive got 1400rms on tap from my mackie 1400i...that sub looks like a pretty nice replacement for the XXX18! winisd doesnt post up good looking response for low tuning...hrmm..

    Can someone please explain port tuning to me?

    heh heh...so playing 20hz sine wave test tones at full volume in a box tuned to 35hz is a bad idea :D

    How to shield a tempest?

    omg, if someone was going to rob me that box would be the LAST thing they'd get!!! They would lift up on the front and say "screw it i'm taking the VCR" :D Bucking magnets...is that just a magnet attached to the back side of the speaker to negate the magnetic field of the speaker?

    Any tweaks to eliminate Sub Port Noise?

    If its a premade box theres not too much you can do. Port noise is a result of the velocity of air in the port being too high, and or somthing in or infront of the port causing the air to "chuff" around it. Three remedies for port noise are flared ports, larger port area, and less power to...

    Can someone please explain port tuning to me?

    Hmm, at the tuning frequency the cone should move very little, even if the frequency being played is 15hz. At and under the tuning the frequency the box "unloads", the port begins to REALLY blow A LOT of air, and the driver will "bottom out" given enough power. The advantage of ported boxes...

    Show off your sub!!!

    OMG...I just got my 18" RE XXX running. This thing plays 20hz like its nobodys business! 15hz-30hz sweeps are almost unbearable! *EVERYTHING* shakes. It doesnt rattle...it SHAKES. Mission: Create an insane HT sub Status: Accomplished. :emoji_thumbsup:

    26 Hz rumble - from standing waves?

    anthony...the box design depends completely on the driver and the goals you wish to accomplish with it. If you want more SPL, you'll want to go with a ported or Bandpass box (usually at the cost of sound quality)

    How do you choose your cables?

    Well compared to cheesy charlie brown wire like 22awg or somthing...yd venture to say it makes a difference. If you start playing with subs it makes that much more difference! Sure good interconnects make a difference, but it may be so slight that its not even noticable! I guess none of my...
