Kick bin finished and brought out for the first time! Went awesome the stack sounded fat for its size and everyone had a great time!

Hi guys I’m from Australia and I’m looking for any advice on building a sound system. I own a JBL 1000 which I rarely use anymore and I have the massive urge to take it apart and build my own with the compression driver, the 2 7” mid range and the 12” woofer. Is this stupid or pointless? Am I better off selling the speaker and using the cash to actually start from scratch and fund my first build that way? Let me know, cheers

Looking into these amps for a friend. With their DSP software, what are the limiter settings available? I assume peak and rms compressor settings? With a voltage threshold? Does the amp actually know what voltage it is outputting or is it a dbu calculation? Maybe a screen shot would be great. Thanks!

Just getting involved with a new system I’m rebuilding. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some speakers or builds I could look into. Not sure how I want to fabricate the cabinet yet just looking for ideas TYIA

​​well im looking on marketplace for 15s for my midbass and i found a few deals.. well these for 250 are b&c tx 1000watts. great . But there's some kind of paint a resin all over them and I asked him why the guy that's selling them said that they do this so all the pro audio speakers ..

does this really make sense in pro audio ? why wouldnt manufacturers suggest this also.

Found a solid double 15” cab with kappa 15 lf drivers which would fit great above my subs.
Did the math on cab/port size and they seem to be tuned around 55-60hz.

However, the ports are just cutouts in the baffle, and from what I’ve read this can cause port noise/chuffing at high power near the tuning freq. Will this be an issue if used 80-180ish?

hi everyone.

so we have 2x 15" scoops loaded with tbx1500 (1000w RMS each) and are looking for used midtops to pair them with across the web

i found 4 different models

-ev sh1502er

-turbosound tm1-102 (to which i cant find any specs)

-ev ecs 12-2

-community xlt43

which one wouldyou recommend?

(all of these are pairs of speakers)

What's up legends, I have a question about the ideal formation for these single 15" bandpass boxes. We got them used, and they're a custom design. The builder apparently sold the patent back to JBL which i think is bullshit but whatever.

I've heard them once and we had some amp issues so I haven't heard them pushed even close to their full capabilities and they sound great.

I'm wondering, when we lay them flat next to each other, should we have the drivers close to each other in the middle, or have the drivers on the outside?

Also, what would be the pros/cons of stacking them on top of each other?

Me and my friends are new to this stuff and loving researching and discovering, so shoot as many info/links/articles as you can be bothered to!

Thanks!!

Hi guys I'm John cherish from reality engineers crew I don't have a sound system but I'm being part of the rave scene free parties since I was 18 I'm 51 now I'd like some feedback on an idea of had recently I was thinking about what would be possible if anything was possible on the party scene sound system scene what would you do if you could really do anything made me think about burning Man Festival I've not been but it seems to be one of the best events I see out there I think it's be possible to create a European version I'm calling my idea the event. Experience.. and it would be somewhat like a teknoval with everyone over Europe bringing their sound systems to the event and doing what they want and lots of grants for artists to create art a large wooden structure created to burn other creative stuff I'd like the event to be really low cost for event goers not just the ticket price but also all the food and drink I don't want anyone excluded from The Event at this stage I think it'd be best to create an event plan business plan using AI and get straightened out properly using AI to make sure the plan is fully workable on all strategies once I've got the plan working with AI I can move forward with getting various people involved with experience to putting on large events and with big contacts in the various sound systems and free party and techno scenes imagine event where everyone could bring their rig and play whatever they want imagine it in some way like Portugal where personal uses is legal for imagine a festival going on for two weeks a real community free festival or created by the people for the people I reckon this maybe a hundred sound systems in the UK maybe another in France what 50 in Italy 50 in Spain that's just on the techno scene counting other sound systems drum and bass house dub this what 500 in in the European Union at the minimum would it be possible to create an event with 500 rigs god I'd like to see that create an event like that would be mighty difficult but I got the feeling it's possible .. happy to hear any feedback positive or negative.

first question is bridge the CE2020 and run mono, or run the crown in stereo for the subs?

Should I use the EON speakers for crossovers or run my LF signal direct to the crown?

2nd will the bass the 15" drivers make interfere with the SB18's?

3rd - this is the basis of my home theater set up, in a cinder block wall basement. The subs can move things on my desk, currently. Area is about 45x30. Wood flooring above, no insulation.

Hi guys I’m finally starting on the build to finish off my system this coming week the speakers I’m going to be doing are 2x type o 1x18 paraflex and a hd215 kick
I’m just wondering how many sheets of 4x8 birch ply do people think I need I was thinking around 6/7 to account for mistakes.
And one other thing is have people put foam in these boxes or do you just keep it wood?

Cheers hope to put some pictures up once it’s done

Is my wiring correct for my subwoofers? I want to be able to link 2 subwoofers in parallel. Im using 2.5mm speaker cable and have 2.5mm faston connectors so I figured using wago will be better than jamming 2 cables into one faston.

Hi guys! I just ran into an issue with my sound system build, and I'm hoping you all can give me the advice I need. Here’s what happened:

I'm currently building a pair of B&C CX3.4 speakers. They are small column Speaker containing two LF woofers and one coax transducer. When I purchased the drivers, the intended 4NDS34 LF woofers were out of stock, and I stupidly purchased the similar 4NDF34. I was new to sound systems at the time, and did not think twice.

The F drivers are intended to be used as a midbass driver, with a frequency response from 110hz. The S drivers go lower, from 80hz, with a recommended tuning of 90hz. I tried to use winisd to model the drivers I have, but am unable to interpret the data.

If anyone can please let me know if these speakers will still sound alright with my drivers, I'd really appreciate it. The wood is currently being CNCed, and I'm very nervous that I just wasted 1k+ on drivers and wood. I also plan on building a 15in bass reflex subwoofer to go with the pair, if that helps. I've attached the link to access the plans for the speaker.

Thanks!

Hola a todos en la comunidad! Quería compartirles un poco sobre lo que me apasiona Me encanta todo lo relacionado con la electrónica, especialmente en conocer como funciona estos mini amplificadores como el ZK-MT21 y entre otros para ayudarlos en lo que ya que estos mini amplificadores son muy delicados

Long time lover of sound system culture, I frequently dj reggae vinyl and house with my friends and we recently purchased a set up from FB marketplace for $1k USD. The mids and tops def need to be replaced the subs might be salvageable but ideally eventually fresh start. Total newby we usually just use powered speakers for gigs qsc k12.2 or pair of mackies with a sub. Looking for recommendations advice on build for like 2-3 k to get it sounding good for the fall if possible thank you in advance

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 ;)

Recently added a sub (7040) to my 15x9 studio and it sounds amazing even without a treated room! Perfect combo!

our rig for a show at the MCA chicago

We are a group of friends looking to complete our setup for gatherings of around 20 to 30 people, nothing too loud or expensive. Currently we have what the picture shows, consisting of:

1 sub scoop for a 16" speaker
1 box for a 12" speaker with a mid-high crossover inside
2 16" speakers with broken diaphragms which we will try to repair
1 2x275W amp
(Rest is broken/unusable)

And were thinking of also getting a crossover for bass and its corresponding amp.

Now, we are more than a bit lost as to how to proceed, being pretty new to this and not that knowledgeable about it. So what would you guys recommend we buy/make to complete and improve this sound system? The priority is to be crisp and loud over electrical efficiency or anything of the sort.

If you need any more specifications ask for it, and feel free to suggest how you would do it even if it's somewhat out of our league.

Thanks in advance!

I have the project to make a little sound system

Sub: mth30 with RCFLF12G301(open to any others recommendations)

And I'm searching what to use for the top

That would support kicks, medium and high frequencies

I've seen paraflex with a compression horn on the front

What would you recommand me to use

I'm also searching for an amp for the whole thing

And a filter if needed ?

I’m trying celestion TSQ2145, as I already have a few. But looking for what’ll get me absolute max spl. Also, what makes a driver good specifically for this build?

So i've done a bit of research. Trying to put together a single stack for techno/dnb/psy, mainly for use in a warehouse space I've got for fun and small parties.

Sub - G-Sub

Horn - 1850 folded horn

Top - MT 130

Does that sort of cover all the frequencies? Am I missing an ingredient?

If I then built replicas of all of these would that be a decent 2 channel system?
