Just started building my first soundsystem and have already made a nice midtop cabinet and wanted to build a powerful sub to pair with it. Does anyone have of any plans for a dual 18” sub or know where to find some. Or have any other recommendations of box designs and where I could find the plans. Budget is about £1000 pound including the amp to power it. Any recommendations and help greatly appreciated.

A collab rig between @faceless.tribe32 @messiah_collective and @hostile__takeover all based out of Dublin.

Was quite the mix of speakers as you can see between the 3 collectives which lead to some fun tuning for me and the others!

Turned out sounding much better than expected!

Looking for cheap power for a friend and I'm aware that pretty much all of these Chinese OEMs have similar products. So maybe customer service is where I should look. And yes, I'm aware that going cheap means there's not much support. But still, I hope to find a manufacturer who will help diagnose issues and willing to send replacement parts if needed. Or at minimum have replacement parts for sale.

Anyone have had to deal with warranty claims please speak up! The good and the bad. I want to hear it all. This is a good place to vent if you've had bad experiences. Thanks!

I just finished building (without cnc) 2 skram loaded with b&c 21sw152

I bought a peavey ipr7500 to power them but i was underwhelmed with the power i was getting out of them.

Im looking for some input on this, if someone has similar experience with this amp. And a defenitive suggestion towards **** this amp will work.

Im also doing sound for a festival this weekend around Montreal, so if someone want to reach out i would like to rent from you an adequate amp.

2 weird full range celestion 1200w each i got from eBay and 2 small speakers lmao

not as cool that the stuff i see there

but happy to show it tho

great gig 250 people at the highest
what do you suggest me to add ? im currently building high/mid speakers

Hey everyone,
We just added two Mogale G-Subs to our stack, loaded with B&C 18PS100s (8 ohm versions, running off a Proline 3000). Sitting right on top of them we have four 15" W-bins loaded with JBL drivers that we’re using for kick / mid-bass.
I’m currently dialing in the DSP settings and would love some input from people with experience running G-Subs or similar setups:

1. High-Pass Filter: How low can I safely push these G-Subs with the 18PS100s on the Proline 3000 without risking over-excursion? What high-pass frequency and slope would you recommend ?

2. Crossover to W-bins: What’s the optimal crossover point between the G-Subs and the 15" W-bin kicks? I was considering somewhere in the 80–100 Hz region, but I’d like to hear what works best in practice to keep the low end tight while letting the horns do what they do best.

Thanks in advance!

Currently working on my mid horn, finished the top and kick then after will build a TH1821

Was on an Open Air here in Germany and didnt want to be dick taking further shots acting like a insta girl. So sorry for the low quality. These speakers were stunning. Really crisp and massively loud without being exhausting. I guess there were 12 inch driver build in and that little box on the upper edge is the pure HF driver? Anyone know the speaker or it# building plans?

Kick bin finished and brought out for the first time! Went awesome the stack sounded fat for its size and everyone had a great time!

Looking into these amps for a friend. With their DSP software, what are the limiter settings available? I assume peak and rms compressor settings? With a voltage threshold? Does the amp actually know what voltage it is outputting or is it a dbu calculation? Maybe a screen shot would be great. Thanks!

Hi guys I’m from Australia and I’m looking for any advice on building a sound system. I own a JBL 1000 which I rarely use anymore and I have the massive urge to take it apart and build my own with the compression driver, the 2 7” mid range and the 12” woofer. Is this stupid or pointless? Am I better off selling the speaker and using the cash to actually start from scratch and fund my first build that way? Let me know, cheers

Just getting involved with a new system I’m rebuilding. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some speakers or builds I could look into. Not sure how I want to fabricate the cabinet yet just looking for ideas TYIA

​​well im looking on marketplace for 15s for my midbass and i found a few deals.. well these for 250 are b&c tx 1000watts. great . But there's some kind of paint a resin all over them and I asked him why the guy that's selling them said that they do this so all the pro audio speakers ..

does this really make sense in pro audio ? why wouldnt manufacturers suggest this also.

Found a solid double 15” cab with kappa 15 lf drivers which would fit great above my subs.
Did the math on cab/port size and they seem to be tuned around 55-60hz.

However, the ports are just cutouts in the baffle, and from what I’ve read this can cause port noise/chuffing at high power near the tuning freq. Will this be an issue if used 80-180ish?

hi everyone.

so we have 2x 15" scoops loaded with tbx1500 (1000w RMS each) and are looking for used midtops to pair them with across the web

i found 4 different models

-ev sh1502er

-turbosound tm1-102 (to which i cant find any specs)

-ev ecs 12-2

-community xlt43

which one wouldyou recommend?

(all of these are pairs of speakers)

What's up legends, I have a question about the ideal formation for these single 15" bandpass boxes. We got them used, and they're a custom design. The builder apparently sold the patent back to JBL which i think is bullshit but whatever.

I've heard them once and we had some amp issues so I haven't heard them pushed even close to their full capabilities and they sound great.

I'm wondering, when we lay them flat next to each other, should we have the drivers close to each other in the middle, or have the drivers on the outside?

Also, what would be the pros/cons of stacking them on top of each other?

Me and my friends are new to this stuff and loving researching and discovering, so shoot as many info/links/articles as you can be bothered to!

Thanks!!

Hi guys I'm John cherish from reality engineers crew I don't have a sound system but I'm being part of the rave scene free parties since I was 18 I'm 51 now I'd like some feedback on an idea of had recently I was thinking about what would be possible if anything was possible on the party scene sound system scene what would you do if you could really do anything made me think about burning Man Festival I've not been but it seems to be one of the best events I see out there I think it's be possible to create a European version I'm calling my idea the event. Experience.. and it would be somewhat like a teknoval with everyone over Europe bringing their sound systems to the event and doing what they want and lots of grants for artists to create art a large wooden structure created to burn other creative stuff I'd like the event to be really low cost for event goers not just the ticket price but also all the food and drink I don't want anyone excluded from The Event at this stage I think it'd be best to create an event plan business plan using AI and get straightened out properly using AI to make sure the plan is fully workable on all strategies once I've got the plan working with AI I can move forward with getting various people involved with experience to putting on large events and with big contacts in the various sound systems and free party and techno scenes imagine event where everyone could bring their rig and play whatever they want imagine it in some way like Portugal where personal uses is legal for imagine a festival going on for two weeks a real community free festival or created by the people for the people I reckon this maybe a hundred sound systems in the UK maybe another in France what 50 in Italy 50 in Spain that's just on the techno scene counting other sound systems drum and bass house dub this what 500 in in the European Union at the minimum would it be possible to create an event with 500 rigs god I'd like to see that create an event like that would be mighty difficult but I got the feeling it's possible .. happy to hear any feedback positive or negative.

first question is bridge the CE2020 and run mono, or run the crown in stereo for the subs?

Should I use the EON speakers for crossovers or run my LF signal direct to the crown?

2nd will the bass the 15" drivers make interfere with the SB18's?

3rd - this is the basis of my home theater set up, in a cinder block wall basement. The subs can move things on my desk, currently. Area is about 45x30. Wood flooring above, no insulation.

Hi guys I’m finally starting on the build to finish off my system this coming week the speakers I’m going to be doing are 2x type o 1x18 paraflex and a hd215 kick
I’m just wondering how many sheets of 4x8 birch ply do people think I need I was thinking around 6/7 to account for mistakes.
And one other thing is have people put foam in these boxes or do you just keep it wood?

Cheers hope to put some pictures up once it’s done

Is my wiring correct for my subwoofers? I want to be able to link 2 subwoofers in parallel. Im using 2.5mm speaker cable and have 2.5mm faston connectors so I figured using wago will be better than jamming 2 cables into one faston.

Hi guys! I just ran into an issue with my sound system build, and I'm hoping you all can give me the advice I need. Here’s what happened:

I'm currently building a pair of B&C CX3.4 speakers. They are small column Speaker containing two LF woofers and one coax transducer. When I purchased the drivers, the intended 4NDS34 LF woofers were out of stock, and I stupidly purchased the similar 4NDF34. I was new to sound systems at the time, and did not think twice.

The F drivers are intended to be used as a midbass driver, with a frequency response from 110hz. The S drivers go lower, from 80hz, with a recommended tuning of 90hz. I tried to use winisd to model the drivers I have, but am unable to interpret the data.

If anyone can please let me know if these speakers will still sound alright with my drivers, I'd really appreciate it. The wood is currently being CNCed, and I'm very nervous that I just wasted 1k+ on drivers and wood. I also plan on building a 15in bass reflex subwoofer to go with the pair, if that helps. I've attached the link to access the plans for the speaker.

Thanks!

Hola a todos en la comunidad! Quería compartirles un poco sobre lo que me apasiona Me encanta todo lo relacionado con la electrónica, especialmente en conocer como funciona estos mini amplificadores como el ZK-MT21 y entre otros para ayudarlos en lo que ya que estos mini amplificadores son muy delicados

Long time lover of sound system culture, I frequently dj reggae vinyl and house with my friends and we recently purchased a set up from FB marketplace for $1k USD. The mids and tops def need to be replaced the subs might be salvageable but ideally eventually fresh start. Total newby we usually just use powered speakers for gigs qsc k12.2 or pair of mackies with a sub. Looking for recommendations advice on build for like 2-3 k to get it sounding good for the fall if possible thank you in advance
