- ---not quite right
Ahoy b'ys I've rejoined you land lubbers for a while! So I've been listening to my system and said "eff it" it's not right. It's not bad, but it's not right. I'm running two bandpass cabinets at 100hz down and basically I'm beating a dead horse so it's time for a major change. I'm returning the dayton audio 18" sub as it has a defect (coil noise from the get go) and I've just started hacking one of these band pass cabs all to heck. Feels good to wreck shit but also know it may be for the better. What I've noticed is that the dayton 18" adds nothing to the system, just soaks up 1200w and gets lost at any substantial listening level.
I'm abandoning the bandpass and altering one to accept 2 Eminence Definimax 15" drivers. If this pans out, returning the dayton will just about cover the cost of 2 more eminence drivers for the other cabinet. This will work out to 1200w per cabinet ) 600w per speaker which is easier on my drivers. F3 will be 34hz so I'm giving up some extreme low, but I mostly listen to rock music (read: not a club feggit) so I think this will be a big improvement as the numbers look like response over 130dB should be easily achievable once I build both cabinets.
Heres a nudie to tide yas over!
