TH-18 Flat to 35hz! (Xoc1's design)

Hi,

I did some rechecking and your right some are off ,by as much as 15mm,But I'm old I work by myself ,It's not perfect but I think close will do,I am not a cabinet maker,:)I don't have fine equipment,most of it is 20 years old or older,I should have done better ,but I tried,I did my best, so it's ok with me! I got another one to build maybe I have learned enough to do a better job next time!
So wish me luck!
Have a GREAT day I am!:D

Hi Djim,
I all done, gosh took this old man 4 days to get one cabinet together,looks like the dems are off 10 to 15 mm in some places ,I'm not going to tell the speaker cause it can't see around the first bend,lol.just kidding
We will see tomorrow, I wonder how long it will take to break that woofer in,any Ideas?
Thanks !

Depends on how much power you give it.
If you run a speaker to Xmax with a sine wave at Fs open air for a couple hours it should be "broken in", start a few mm below Xmax in anticipation of the suspension loosing up, don't want to hit Xlim in the process.

Since the cabinet is already built, just run AC/DC "Hell's Bells" through it full tilt boogie and it will be broken in.
 
Hi noSmoking,

As NEO Dan says: "...you should be OK...."

Just thought the dimensions didn't quite look correct, and wanted to give you a heads up. The pictures of the throat area look interesting. I'm looking forward to hear your description of what they sound like.

Regards,
 
Hi ODougbo,
It was set before I closed it up,Just checked the panel and thier fine, the pl is still soft in some spots so it's going to sit until it hard,Cool and raining here today,but we need rain here bad,so
The next thing is some WHEELS this is getting heavy and will be more than I can lift when the speaker goes in,lol thinking about doubling the bottom panel ot at least some large pieces for the casters to mount on,
Time to build the voltage probe for ARTA,,,,,,

Thanks ,Oliver

So it's a tan color, almost hard (some places), and you are going to use it to probe?

I have some tracks you can use for your next porno ;).

Seriously, for low voltage tests, PL350 does not have to be hard as a rock (as Reagan said "there you go again"..
 
Hey NEODan,

Lol,Too late it's dry, end of that! pl 350 is white when it cums out of the tube ,I know you can relate.....
I was seeing if a sexual response would occur,lol. yes to that one ,LOL.I wouldn't stick my probe in that stuff ,,,,,,
The voltage probe goes with ARTA ,you know more about that than I do for now,lol.
Don't worry about the neighbors ,these apt. are WELL insulated I've had it blasting at 3 am ,the FOX that lives above my garage says she hears me NOT,,,,SAD,,,,, I was hoping she'd cum down and tell me how nice it sounded ,you know got the beat,lol.SO i run speakers,power tools ,hammer.ect anytime I want to,LOL, The last apt I had you could fart and it would be heard 3 doors down,lol. and that aint no joke, Now I wonder about the dry wall especially with 2 of MARTIN'S boxes cranked up,I hope it just don't fall from the ceiling,might hurt the amps,lol.
I have a DATS usb connector does any other software work with it,Looks like ARTA will use the sound card I have on board,
Later,

Yes your right but ,It would test ok ,But if it sounds good I'll crank it up ,lol.
 
No,glue wasn't dry,It's 4 :30 am and the glue is dry,I am giong to sleep ,,,,,,Played with DATS,ARTA,and a few others and read manuals,I tested the realtec on board sound and it passed so that is ready to go,Got to make one mini jack to XLR cable and see what happens,8mm max excursion,,,,Tomorrow will be a good day,might be a let's listen day,LOL.

Hi,
I had read those when I was shopping for them,but thanks!
I didn't run any test yet but stevie ray sounds good and zz tops ,stones ,ect,
They didn't have that good low bass to them but are getting broken in and sounding better as they play, I am still tweaking the knobs,so I'll test them soon,and see how they compare to the dats I did before install.You can feel the kick drum,lol.
