a good speaker still needs amplification
and hey, what can be better than a good handbuilt SS hifi 'monster'
bloddy expencive if you want to buy a good solid state bass guitar amp
but this an old friend of mine

and then theres the tricky preamp thing
tried a combo, which wasnt exactly love at first sight

so here is what I will give a try

hmm, lowish sensitivity, and a 10db peak

I wouldnt mind using 8" mid
but they all seem low sensitivity, or rolloff too early

still searching
but thanks

btw, I might end with using 2way active xo 😉
not yet sure how far Im going with this
 
so far, amp combination works
or should I say makes sound, with some noise
maybe its the low impedance load of receiver
power amp, 2kohm input 😱

still some work to do 😛
have the preamp(stereo) designed to drive this particular power amp
may need to drive through this

well, sound have definately improved, and got cleaner
but its very clear now that the horn I built is 'difficult' 😱
its doing something right, but still a too 'ressonant'
 
and with the proper preamp, able to drive a 2kohm load, what a change
suddenly my woofer isnt so bad at all

clean clean clean
noise is gone, nada
and BASS in spades, DEEEEP bass
wow, huge difference, really

special case with this power amp
dont know how it is with other amps
but still worth a thought

not cool to think I was going to trash the woofer, and throw midbass horn in the dumpster, built with sweat
and now I hear the coolest bass ever
how lucky can one be 🙂

now I hear a song in my head...long and winding road

Before the "right" pre-amp sorted the bass problem, how did you connect up the amp to it's source?
What were the impedances?
What DC blocking was inserted?
What RF filters were inserted?
What cable did you use?
How long was it?
How much capacitance did it present to the source?

Telling us it didn't work tells us next to nothing.
What didn't work?
 
why dont you go for a 5 string (better for slaping 😀)? that will be my next purchase , maybe a ibanez.

I would like a short scale 6-string 😀 but doubt there are any 😱

but I know what you are saying
and Im aware that I might need to mount better pickups 😉
tuners are probably crap too
feels like they are 'letting go' 😱

what´s the power of your amp ?

about 120-150watt, with double pair Sanken
