    windows 10...great

     

    spend more money to upgrade , take 3 years to learn to use it , find out it sucks....wait for the next upgrade .....

     Microsoft has us stuck in a financially and mentally draining loop.....LOL

    I made a few enclosures with both Lexan and Plexi

     

    the Lexan flexes/vibarates if used for large windows or panels and makes noise, it can not be bent either

    because it has a memory and wants to flex back , Plexi can be bent with heat and it will hold it's shape

     

    lexan scratches easily too

    that's one of the reasons why those expensive Frugal Horns have a nice looking hardwood faceplate

    and everything behind is either Baltic Birch or MDF

     personally I hate working with MDF because of the dust but it's the most acoustically dead

    and the reason why I use it the most

     I built a few enclosures out of real hardwood , measure 10 times and cut once

    because one bad cut can be expensive....LOL

     

    hardwood makes a nice looking enclosure but it has to be maintained

    like a piece of fine furniture  ..   oiled so it does not dry out

    after a 2nd look at the pic of your amp I noticed the bass boost does not have a variable frequency

    I bet it is a boost pre set in the 40-45hz area .... if this is turned up to high your sub will crap out on the higher

    frequencies before you ever get a chance to get enough power down lower

     I would turn it right down to start

    I see your sub sonic filter is on a factory setting of 25hz.....

    with the slope your probably loosing all the punch below 30hz

     

    turn it off...that pretty much filters out all the low slows

     

     I would lower the LPF a bit...get all the voices and upper

    bass out of the way and concentrate the power on the lower stuff

     

     

    I would also lay the box on it's side and rear fire it

     

    see how that does

     I ran across a few un expected finds cleaning up my dads estate

     

     a brand new ( never fired ) Remington 270 Winchester with a Leupold scope and all the trimmings

     

    just waiting for the weather to break so I can go sight it in

     I have an old school H & H Scott tube amp that my dad bought back in the 70's

     

    it is very warm sounding , fantastic sound quality for an integrated amp/preamp

     

    I even have the original H & H Scott 197B loud speakers that came with it

    ,had the woofers rebuilt a couple years ago

     I think it turned out really good for something I drew up on the shop

    floor with sidewalk chalk..............

     

     the amp rack will have to be worked on , the holes were drilled for the

    Soundstream amps

    well the enclosure sounds spot on but the Soundstream REF 1.500 amp

    is almost useless at 3 ohm so I did some hunting around this morning

     

    traded my two REF 1.500 amps for a Crown BPX 2200.1

    works perfectly but has some cosmetic damage , happy though

    I got enough power to launch that 10" thru the roof so it"s all good

     

    just waiting for the rain to break and I'll take a couple pics

      the HX2's are OK .... but they are painfull when you are use to having good detail on the bottom end

    they are a bit peaky to me  ( I lied...ALOT peaky ) and they unload to easily down in the sub sonics for my taste

     

    it did well for the year and for the $100 I paid for it
