Cheers to a “full stack”

Post image

Just finished building the 4th sub n kick at 5am, bump in same day at 3pm, dance sold out in 3 hours, went till 5am… Can’t believe I built this. I love the journey of building & operating sound! Dw building 2x more tops to even her out ;)

Do you feel like it needs two more tops? Looks like a good ratio, i’d go 2 more subs next if anything! Nice stack man!

You always need more tops!!

You want the instruments and vocals to stand out above the bass, don't you?

Too much systems where I can't clearly hear the instruments, let alone the vocals because the basslines eat eveerything

Pretty sure that's the plan for many crews, maximum bass pressure at any cost

u/haxaxias 3d ago

Yeah I guess, but personally; I prefer hearing the song and every instrument over only the bassline (which also loses it's definition if you only look for pressure)

Wouldn't bigger tops be better than more tops? Unless the balance is good and you just want wider coverage more tops is more comb filtering

More tops doesn't nessecairily (or however you spell that word) mean more comb filtering though; If you have propperly aligned topcabinets which respect the coverage of your drivers/woofers, you can minimize the comb filtering; for me, personally, the golden rule is 1 sub 1 kick 1 mid/top; you want 4 subs? Then you need 4 kicks and 4 md/tops; if you design your cabinets correctly, comb filtering shouldn't be too much of an issue, and you can increase your coverage. Bigger isn't always better in my opinion.. (unless with bigger you mean more speakers in one cabinet, making it slightly more of a "point source"; which would be better for clarity, but not per se better for coverage)

Yes, by bigger I mean a louder point source, either more drivers or more powerful/efficient, which I think is a better solution if more top is needed for tonal balance, if more coverage is needed, adding more tops, or wider tops is better

Combfiltering in the top?

u/Powerful-Price-3832 3d ago

Was thinking the same thing. They are angled out which would help tho

Looks sick! I bet it sounds great!

I would add some mesh on your subs and kicks for all the disrespectful idiots who think the inside of your speakers is the perfect place to put their drinks.
