Well, I do not think there really is that much difference in the quality of the copies of the original Motorola/CTR tweeter.. but I could be wrong - I am not really that much of an expert.
Hello.
Since Roskilde is nearing and i am at the last stages of my boominator build, i would love to just make sure that i am gonne do the wireing of the whole thing correct, so if someone qualified could just tell me if i am doing it right by doing it this way, i would be very happy!

Can somebody tell me if these grills will fit in the boominator?

In the amp6basic assembly guide there is a table showing what resistors to use to have a specific gain. Look it up, i use the setting with the most powerful gain and it is perfect for my iphone.

I checked the Google Sketch design of Boominator II. I see the centerpiece with allot of holes in it. The original design was without the centerpiece where the HP-10 was touching each other (is there a Google Sketch of the original one as well ?). I have read thru all the threads here but can't seem to find what benefit these new centerpieces do. Can you elaborate ? Is it easier to assemble this way or ?
thx

If you have read all the threads you should have seen that there has been an explanation on this here:

EDIT: And there's no sketchupdrawing of the original.

Lets see.
I recommend a standard 10" PA grill.
You link is to a standard 10" PA grill.
You connect the dots from here, ok?
Our boombox is as close to being finished as it can be. It's assembled, painted and everything, but yesterday when we had assembled everything we discovered a tiny little crack on the raised part of the "kantophæng" (don't know the english word) on one of our bass units.
It looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/170632/crack.png
Are there an easy fix for this?

How can the amp6 use only 350mA from 12V power supply and output of the amplifier deliver 2 x 25RMS.
Hello again, I finally got the boominator back after the paintjob.
So yesterday we had the first field test at a party.
I notice that the sound become very distorted on lower volumes than expected.
I verified that its not the speaker/box by connecting it to my home hifi system and here I can play fine to ridiculus volume levels with far less distortion than with my lepai/battery setup.
Also Ive noticed that if I max out the volume knob on the lepai the bass is non existant pretty much. Even if the source volume is turned down (not playing at max). If I lower the lepai volume knob to about 75% the bass comes back. This in itself is not a major problem the volume is far too high even at 75% when the source is maxed. But maybe it can give a hint as to what might be the cause of the distortion?
Measured voltage on the batteries today is 12.1V
I will continue testing with Trends audio amp with external pre amp (the trends audio can not reach the volumes where I have distortion issues with the lepai without a pre amp).
I will also test using regular power supply (not battery) to rule out power as the root cause of this problem.
But meanwhile it would be great if anyone had tips on what might be the problem.
