The more that Klampy posts, the more I realise that he knows almost nothing about his equipment.

does it really matter that i dont know details, or how to accurately measure how much power im using, or that its 3db more or less than something else?

i make dance music. i work in a rubber shop. i dont need to crunch numbers becuase i dont design speakers. i just build them based on proven designs. and they sound fantastic.

thats what makes me happy. is that to me, it sounds great. i know how to run it to its potential and now that ive got good quality drivers, im not going to burn them out.

tonight was my first mobile DJ event, it was a wedding, and i took one SS15. having it just shy of distortion for a good few hours, it wasnt even getting warm.

THAT^ makes me happy. not "knowing" every little detail about my equipment.

thanks.

congrats...

I hear enough dj stuff from a couple 15+1 cabinets on stands (no subs) crying for mercy.... it makes me want to cry.

Having someone want to be better, actually doing his own research on how, building his own cabinets, and then ending up with a success... That's very cool in my book.

I'll attend one of your events if the opportunity ever happens.

thanks Jbell

and to you, hats off. 4x SS15 subs are the most amazing sound i have ever heard this side of going to the club, or a band.

i will most definately be building more.

more happy customers

all four of my SS15s running at what i refer to as 85% and smacking the crap out of anyone standing in front of it!

absolutely incredible SPL. I am very very proud of it, and still cant believe that I have built something that sounds so good.


heres my amp settings for those who might be interested to see.

How did you get to that setting on the EQ? It looks more like a visual setting then an audio fine tuning¿
Great setup, I can see why no one is sitting on those chairs close to your sub, lol

I had to do some adjustments for 12mm vs. 1/2" from the original plans (plus 9mm bracing). As I'm going through, I was just curious if there is any need for some 45* "guides" in the corners to make the measurements a bit smoother, or if I'm just adding weight with no benefits?

Thanx!

I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
It's just me, I had a closer look and it looks like the tweeters are not giving a lot of highs or your ears don't hear them well.

I used to see some 'smart stereo owners' way back who just set the sliders for aesthetics, sounded horrible!...
"but it looks nice..."
