I went to the moutain and saw!
He did a job on it, John tells me. 1-bullseye in the center and 3 holes in the outer parts. No damage to the grill as he had left it off.
He goes on to tell me the door to the room was Closed when he left. This is an extra med sized bedroom that was/is going to...
Houston we have a problem!
You are not going to belive this....
Well after waiting for over an hour and half after John usually gets out of work I was wondering what was taking him so long to call. So I proceeded to call him.
Aha, he is really pissed off!
Long storie short, while at...
Steve, No to the SVS driver in the DIY, those are in the main room. This is the bedroom sub and it is "NOT" an SVS DRIVER!!!!!! The test will be for the DLS, not a direct comparison to a DIY. It's being done simply for him to see what a different sub would sound like in his system...
Brian,
It's has 4 ~ 6-1/2" Bose top of the line bass drivers in it! :D
No, just kiding....
You got the 12" size right....
Gona keep you all in suspence for now.;)
THE DIY:
Those are inside dimensions for the DIY sealed sub.
It's made of 1 1/2" MDF all sides, with the top and...
Seems this thread has lost it's course!
Went from the start of a comparison, to multi sub wiring, to driving bass shakers, to bass freq education, to driver DIY, have you all gone mad. :angry:
You loose your big gun subs again Steve? :D
Well, one of the boys got their sub (DLS-10), so get...
Humm, Bummer, as I'm sure many want to purchase the new little budget champ. I belive this is the first time they have been out of sock with the DLS sence it's introducion aprox 1-year ago. I think Steve's hard work and the long thread, pushed many to purchase the little box. PE is an...

Don't know if the amp is counter-sunk, but if NOT you might try:
Make sure you didn't miss a screw for sure, then take a THIN wide blade (2") puddy knife and place a piece of paper towel under the blade and try to slide it under a corner or any place you can get it in.
Just a little...
Ok, first off I've been pretty sick as of late. Some would say I'm sick (in the head) most of the time. :D
So all the Nyquil(sp) gots me pretty buzzzzed up. :) Sorry if I made things awful confuseing the last couple of days...! Heck I hardly understand it, and I wrote it...
Can't spell to...
Ok, A y-splitter/adaptor, comes in two types. You want a (single female to 2 males)! Yes, you can by both the cheap and more expensive at Radio Shack. ~{This is for attaching to the end of the sub cable and connecting to both R & L inputs, that is if your sub has them,}~!!!! =========> If...
Brian is Link Removed
Kyle, though not in this thread, is also a For Sale/Hire designer builder, and he is Link Removed

Not all amps have true pass threw, as mentioned most are as stated above.

Multi subs:
Not all amps sum truly on both inputs and you can...
I doubt it Steve, not with just one driver in that size cube. But he didn't make mention of how many drivers so maybe... I think I pretty much know what it might be, but I'll let the designer discuss the details. Impressive numbers, scary really. Better strap it to the floor it could...
Yes just woke up at 2 this morning. Been very ill for the last few days... Uggg
Sleeping when I can, went to bed yesterday in the afternoon, as I never did get any sleep the night before. Tried to make it longer cause I new thats what would happen! Oh well, I fell a hell of allot better today...
OH yes boys, while cats away the mice do play...:D
Steve:
You got 105-db in your room out of that thing?????
Man I wish you had a freq disc! It be easier to hear slot noise and see just where your peeking in room. But still that is quite impressive.
A 10", 99.99 dollor sub and in your...
Jose, No problem, drop me an email if you have questions once you get it. There is a piece of paper inside the disc with some basic information, but it dose not go to far in depth. Jason, I can't answer your question, but my take is, it's quite well built. Considering it's price...
Jose Yes, definitly give John a ring. It being the holidays along with his newly designed & just released drivers, he's a very busy guy. You might also run an email by their if you haven't already. Not defending Stryke, but your order may have got lost in all the goings on right now...
Robert
Uggg is right, we agree with you...!:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
Man I hate to say negative things about movies but this is not good!

Wanted to crank tonight, but we found ourselves with the volume down and making allot trips to the kitchen for what ever. A...
Hey Steve,
Glad your beating on the DLS, an absolute must. Get that 100.00 bucks out of her! :D
Hope you guys had a nice Christmas and tonight of course, A good New Years Eve....
We are staying IN tonight and watching todays new release, Triple X, may suck big time. I have not read...
Steve
Gotcha, yes I have a tendency to get going like that myself.
Being that your experimenting with the DLS allot, another thing you might try is adding a little polyfill to fool the driver into thinkig it's in a larger encloser. As small as the DLS is
1.24ft^3 per your measured...
Steve I am not really following what your saying above about removing the amp and the really low freq. I could guess but would rather you put it to me clearly... Could you explain (in a bit more detail), just what your "saying and or asking"? Geoff
Brian
You sneaky little devil you. You were posting the same time I was.
Just got back from trying my slot port cal again and this time came up with 30.2hz! Now this appears much more like it, and with what you came up with looks like it's working right now. That thing was giving me 48.4hz...
Stryke Disc: Well thats a long wait, sorry for you as mine was here in 3-days. Could be a stock problem or John was out of town, which happens allot. The Audio Source-15 is another excellent budget sub with much more spl output and better extension. But usualy, in order to get rid of the...
Steve
You could do that if you like, but it's not nesessary at least for me. Others may be interested though, so if you choose do this be sure to let us know: The size of the room-(cubic-ft), open or closed room, placment of the sub~corner etc, and "distance from the sub to the place your...
Steve
As long as you used and did everything like you said you did, the test was fair.
Regardless if the THX-Optimizer is flawed in some way or not. The test tone for the sub is gona be the same for all when you calied for each sub....
Jose,
The Stryke disc will have some information...
No problem reading your info Steve.... Very nice of you to go to all the trouble of hooking and un-hooking, cal and re-cal... Allot of work, but produced very "interesting" results! Just with your little test alone, I think PE will be moving quite a few more DLS-10 subs. I belive a...
Hi Brian & Steve Never seen any of the subs in person but I'd guess that the Sony & DLS are tuned right in the area of 30hz to 34hz, and the Kenwood 8 around 34hz to 40hz. "Just guessing at this point obviously" Hopfully Steve can get Brian the "inside Slot dimensions", D x W x H on...
Steve
Do you have a freq disc?
As the others mentioned this would give you/us a much beter idea of true extension.
Then do some music listening and give us your take on which of the the low dollar units seems to be the most accurate at that. Movies are much more forgiving than music as...
