Any word on this yet? Is it at least being worked on in a secret lab somewhere, or stalled out at the moment? Really curious to see where this goes.
Thanks jbell!
Done, works great, been waiting months on chi-wan-eese digital amps with built in dsp for a "system"
that's all for now.
See, that's what I'm looking for. I think we can all be patient, just looking for a new glimmer of hope that something's coming. Hearing that there's an amp in the works just sweetens the deal.
Thanks again!
the most affordable "pro" amps that really works are the behringer inukeDSP
power amps
i do not trust other more affordable brands
Behringer: iNUKE NU6000DSP
Behringer: iNUKE NU3000DSP
Behringer: iNUKE NU1000DSP
peavey have their
Peavey :: IPR Series
and crown
XLS Drivecore
class D digital amps
i think you can get dirty cheap plate amps and or makes like pyle
but lower than behringer line i dont think they really stand up against the others

put my #3 and #4 SS15s together tonight. going to be cutting bracing and painting tomorrow.
and i must say. WOW. i thought 2 was impressive. it nearly literally blew me away with 4.
absolutely can not wait to achieve 6, then 8, and then on and up to 12. from there, i plan on a quad of SS18s for the deeper bass that the 15 misses out on, and i think i will have quite an ultimate system.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

what are the subsonic filter alternatives to high pass 32hz 24db/oct
Pasive, Active and what brand and models as starting point
Most amps have a high pass built in, and most are 12db/oct, usually 30hz or 50hz.
If you use one of those, and don't push it to it's absolute limit, you will probably be fine.
A DBX driverack, or Behringer DCX2496 are good processors that will let you set your crossover and highpass points exactly.
Peavey IPR, Crown, and other amps that have dsp built in, allow the same level of setups, and also include limiters to make sure that everything still works at the end of the night.
Even the bash500 plate amp has a high pass that can be modified (with a soldering iron) to work.
Yea 4 cabinets.... There is a post way back in this thread where I mentioned that 4 was a party.... A serious party.

i have a crown XLS2000
you can set to low pass or high pass
both channels
or to use high pass ch1 and low pass ch2
you set the freq xover point
but i t dont have a subsonic filter so i guess if you send 20hz to it
it will send that to the drivers damaging them
so i still need something to filter that so low freqs
price wise i really liked this driver

ohh but i have the XLS series ( the small brother of the Xti's )
and those dont have that much DSP power
just basic high pass or low pass and thats its
you got me... I was just double checking myself on the xls.... no usb port / bandmanager -- bummer.
The kappa pro15lf2's are great drivers, just limit to about 300watts per cabinet, and build more cabinets. I seem to get along better that way than beating hard on 4015lf's or other higher power drivers that work in the ss15.
more cabinets loafing is my answer vs fewer cabinets pushed to their limits.

i know...
check this little devices , they are pasive and you can choose your highpass point
what i dont know what happens if you connect 2 in series , do you increase the filter slope ?
FMOD (Filter Module) High Pass RCA Level Crossover
fmod's are bad idea. You are better off doing all active crossover.
You really need a dcx2496 or a driverack, or something for an 'elegant solution.'
A 'redneck' thought for you. You can put your xls into highpass stereo mode 30hz(ish) on both channels, and then run an active crossover to set your 100hz (ish) lowpass for sub channel, and 100hz(ish) highpass for top channel in front of the xls. Even a cheap-o car audio crossover works if you are budget strapped.

you mean the DEQ2496 ?
Behringer Ultra Curve DEQ2496 | eBay
maybe i can score one of those cheap on ebay
or a Dbx driverack

no wonder, when i read the manual on the DEQ i cant find how to set your lowest high pass points to cut for example at 45 hz.
Thanks
I'm really keen to try the JB1500N, could build each cab for <$500 all up which is insanely cheap! especially for Australian-based builders... I wonder how hard they can be pushed, will definitely try to build 2/4 in the next 6 months or so.
Not sure if running an SS18 alongside the SS15 will be beneficial, probably better off putting the effort in to more boxes of the same...
hmmm interesting point there bitsmasher. i want to end up with a dozen like a pic earlier in the thread. but i must say, the difference between 2, and 4. is mind boggling.
im running 4xJB1500N on an EP4000 and ive barely got it on half and they run quite happy like that.
im doing a party on saturday, so ill let you all know how i go. last party i did, i cooked all three of my subs and broke one of my tops... lol there will be a small amount of footage, and a few pics. so ill keep ya posted.
