New music only setup

Timn8ter · 3rd November 2003, 04:53 PM

Just sharing some pics. I have two ELF1.5's that I've modified the cabinet design for powered by an amp from S5 Electronics, modded a box for that too. LF is handled by an Adire AV8 in a 72" long sonotube with a 25 watt amp from Apex Jr. The setup is in a 20' x 22' room with an 11' ceiling. "Aw lawkit alawt"

Thank you.
Considering the kit is only $135 I can't think of anything that'll touch it, at least for someone of my experience level.

Very nice Timn8ter.

How efficient are the speakers, roughly? Can they make enough noise with that amp to annoy the neighbours from time to time?

Enjoy.

Thanks Steve, I mean 7V (don't want to confuse anyone

). Turning the pot up half way is too loud for me. I don't recall the sensitivity for the two wired in parallel. One is 87db (8 ohm nom)so I'm sure it's over 90 (4 ohm nom). A nice bonus with the amp is that it will handle 4 or 8 ohm speaks.

Hmm...perhaps a picture of the sonotube sub? Is it a T-line? Here's my T-line and moi, last year. I was in charge of the audio for the spring play and couldn't resite promoting my latest project....this year I'm thinking of using more than one of my latest T-line boxes...perhaps four? heheheh!

It's based on a quarter wave concept hence the 72" length. It's laying on it's side behind one of the sofas. Purely a prototype and looks like crap. Imagine a naked sonotube with a driver glued to one end and a pillow sticking out the other with a cardboard box sitting on top housing the amp. Didn't see a reason to post a pic of that. When I first set it up I stuffed some poly-fil in it to help the sound which it did, but I knew I needed more. Not wanting to make a run to the store I stopped at that point. I was concerned that our kitten would crawl up inside the tube so I folded a small pillow in half and put it in the tube. Wouldn't you know, it sounded great after that. Go figure!

What was your modification to the speaker cabinets? Is it just a larger volume or is there something else going on inside?
