New (old and busted) bass bins

I’m going to need Sniff’s thong for mid-winter listening.

Maybe I can bake bread in the warmer months. I had an easy-bake oven, so I have the requisite culinary skills to cook in a room heated to 450 degrees.

But seriously, maybe I go the Krell route with fan cooling. Then I can run a dryer duct outside with most of the heat…
 
I'm good.

This is why, for a simple design, Class-A appeals to me. We have Hoover dam on tap, and various exit pipes on the dry side. The more I open, the more I get, because of my massive reserve. KISS principle.

When I have to go from zero to HOLY $#!+ in a nano-second is where things get dicey with an A-B design and, seriously lousy with a digital amp providing "power on demand". I don't care the max output power is 1200 watts, and it will fit inside my toaster-oven. IT CAN'T HANG with the big dogs.

My A-B amp (Counterpoint) sounds SO much better now, not because of the wattage number increase, but because I don't get out of class-A much at all, even dealing with bass drum (where I noticed the improvement first) and just sheer volume of volume. (lots of loud stuff). With stupid power in reserve, there is no effort on the part of the amp- no mode change, no effort. Opening the 1" pipe on Hoover makes exactly no measurable change on the wet side. Open the 4" pipe for the same. Maybe a 4' pipe would be noticed? Probably not.

BUT, the balance must be struck between 480/3-phase 100kW 100% duty cycle welding power supply and audible audio reproduction. Somewhere in that range is the sweet spot...
 
I bought these before Christmas
They sit in a FedEx warehouse 15 mile from my drop ship since 24 th.

many other FedEx deliveries at home that are not being delivered. Covid anyone?
 
This project may be redesigned
one of the speakers was returned to FedEx for inspection. Find out Monday what that means. The other is still in Oregon. Ugh!,
