The Boominator - another stab at the ultimate party machine

[Silas K]

Mounted my Maxamp in a nice Little box for the boominator mini! I Can ofcourse close it up with a lid!

The powerplug is for easy change between battery power and Wall socket

Does someone have the minidsp settings for basslite 2010 and pht407n?

So, its not exactly DIY but if you put a sub on this baby you could probably call it a Boominator giga

Check out those horns.

That's the sort of thing you find when you hunt for surplus solar panels....

hello!
I´m new here, I would like to build the boominator mini 150x150x450.
I have the drawing but not the part list.

help someone 🙂?

Where does one find 3W Carbon Film Resistors of 33 or 47 ohm in Denmark ?

 

[Silas K]

The finished result!

Thank you everyone for the help! And saturnus for the plans!

Is sounds exellent! And cant wait to bring it to Roskilde!!

 

[Silas K]

Okay not exactly finished!

Still need the lid! Handles in each end and corner protectors! 😀 !

Why not just a long handle down the middle?

And good job btw.

 

[Silas K]

Because i have 2 of these! And i Think they Are pretty awesome 🙂

Thank you!

Still need to Mount the charge regulator in the box to hook up the solarcell
Should be done tomorrow though!

Ive been trying to adjust the dsp settings of my s2010 + pht 407n for the last couple of days, but cant seem to get it right, it still sounds distorted in the midrange.

Im currently using a high-pass at 2000Hz LR 12/dB for the tweeters
and low-pass at 1400Hz BW 12/db for the woofers

tweeters gain -2dB and inverted polarity

am I doing something obviously wrong?

Hello!

I have been having trouble finding 3W 33 or 47 ohm resistors. Instead I am planing to parallel couple three 1W 120 ohm resistors. Am I correct that the values will become 40 ohm and 3 watt when doing like this or am I completely wrong?. I also wonder if 40 ohm is okay considering the recommendations is 33 or 47 ohm. I am using the Monacor Mpt-001.

Many thanks!

Just double checking before buying.

I have understood that a PTC fuse i recommended, and the AMP6 peaks at 4,2A, so this PTC fuse should fit the bill?

Thx.

I tried to find some information in the vast history of this thread and came up with the following posts by Saturnus. Hope this helps a bit.

You need a 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley high-pass at 2000Hz and a 2nd order Butterworth low-pass at 1400Hz. Which together with the actual frequency response of the drivers gives an acoustic 3rd/6th order Bessel filter at 1800Hz.

Remember to invert the tweeters and dampen them by 3dB with a series resistor.

Post #2164

Here's a simple and fast drawing of how it should be connected. Please note that I made a mistake. The plus on the tweeters should be connected to minus on the amp, not the plus on the amp as I have drawn here.

Hi,
I have bought 2 x 015W/12V solcelle ETSolar M53615 Mono, KeryChip WEBSHOP - solceller, solcelleanlæg, tilbehør and i really would like some other panel that fits (smaller) the boominator size better. I bought these in 2011 when i starter my project. Anything new that fits the boominator better ?

Those settings are for a passive filter. Will not work with an active filter.

Try the DSP setting listed one or two pages back for the HP10W+PHT407N combo and adjust from there.

Donnib. 5 times this solar panel on top of the mini:

Total of 7.5w for 50 bucks excluding shipping.

Isn't it a better idea to search for a CIGS panel?

Seems small, the one i have is 15W max and i have two yelding a total of 30W. My biggest issue with the one i have already is that the frame is thick and i can't seem to take out the glue so i can remove the frame. If i could remove the frame these would be perfect. Maybe i shoul just accept the frame.

I guess so but seems expensive.

Ah, I thought you meant something that fits the smaller Boominator (mini) better. But you mean something that is smaller and covers the Boominator ^^
