Count me in for the next meet. I suggest March to reduce possible weather events.
Look forward to seeing that new tube amp!

Hey guys i'm in the KW area and would really love to have someone apprentice me. Someone who has a ton of experience building DIY amplifiers and electronics and show me the ropes. I'm even willing to sweep the floor lol. Let me know if this would be of interest to you.
If you show up at the DIY meet you’ll meet a few of the inmates, see who is working on things your interested in and make friends, drink beer, eat snacks , tell lies about women, etc etc (repeat as required).
Theres nothing a Diyaudio guy likes more than some one who’ll listen to him go on and on about nothing important.................

Because I was too lazy to bring them home theres a pair of JL audio 12 inch subs that will be there - 3db @21hz and 1.5kw each.
How efficient are they Dave?
Hi kawihornet,
I'm in Georgetown and plan to catch this event. Depending on how things work out, you could drop by and catch a ride with me and possibly a friend who I hope also comes again. I live very close to highway #7 and Trafalgar Road. So if you took 7 out here it would be a natural stop for you. Then we would drop down to the 401 and hope that no one has had an accident. It should be a fun trip otherwise.

The JBL 4 ways are 4 ohm and about 100db @ 1 watt. They would probably sound better biamped or triamped, but the idea was to be able to power them with a single amp so they could be used to demo the diy amplifiers .They have a high quality passive crossover - all polypropelene caps, mid and tweeters use MIT film and foil caps and air core coils.
The subs are self powered adjustable line level input.
I am adding a set of splitter RCA cables to feed power amps and the subs from the preamp.
The subs can be used/not used as whoever is demonstrating prefers.

Hi Dave,
That actually sounds very interesting. Your horns are more efficient aren't they?
One question for you. What kind of speaker leads will we need. I use barrier strips, so I'll need to bring a spade connector to ? to interface with your wiring?
I'm really looking forward to this get together.

The system is 1970’s JBL drivers and an updated version of their 4350 studio monitor crossover
The 2 x 18 bass and JBL 2202 12” low mid are 100 db /1watt
The JBL 2441 driver and 2395 midrange horn is 116 db/1watt and has to be used with an Lpad to match the low end drivers.
JBL 2405 tweeter is 105 db / 1 watt and also has an Lpad to set level.
So the low end sets the overall level and efficiency at about 100 db / 1watt
The new leads for the speakers are about 6 feet longer and have several plugin options that are very easy to change to suit whatever amps are brought in. Locking bananas, spade lugs, and bare wire ends all are available.
