Ok…..

 

I think I am gonna work on those maelstrom boxes.  Don’t want to think, just need help.  I don’t think I even have the TS parameters for these old 18” maelstrom-x.  Each sub is a single voice coil. 
 

Should I just seal up the boxes I have now, or should I design in a vent for the enclosure?

Right now each box is 24”x 54” x 27”

I may have to trim some of those measurements if the MDF got wet.  Right now they are just 2 C channels with 3 open sides.

I’m powering the pair of maelstroms with a PLX3102 from QSC. I don’t think I’ll be able to wire them to squeeze the full juice out of this amp but I got it for a song and it is better then the low end roll off on the other options at the time  


 

Throw out your ideas, might as well make it a group project!

 

:-D

Daily with the way fuel prices are going.  The Lincolns are piggies, and the truck, well. . . . . .

I've been looking for an Element for 2 years and all I've looked at have been rusted out in the rockers.  This one hasn't a speck of rust on it, and it was CHEAP.

Gonna have to start selling stuff to catch up with bills until the ex can divorce me it looks like.  
 

Gonna be sad to let audio stuff go but you guys will be the first to get dibs. 
 

I am really really happy to have some control of my life now though.  Sell some stuff and be in charge of my own food and vitamins for a while. Get back into physical therapy and hopefully unpause my gym membership and be able to use the hot tub again!

Might have to shave off 5 inches from the long side of the maelstrom X boxes. 
 

Sad face.

Nothing has been done yet, I make 2 giant MDF 3 sided long C channels so far. 

One of them has a few inches of MDF that looks ruined completely from water.  So I’m betting I’ll need to take off 3 inches just to see if I need to do another 2-3 or if it’s gonna need to be more.

Toasters are utilitarian, not attractive, and this one can make a thousand slices at once.

One vote for sealed!  Any other commentary from the peanut gallery on vented or sealed?

 

Sealed sounds nice and easy. Lots of bracing and stuffing!  Treat the large flat panels with lots of braces and maybe tile some vinyl loaded areas in there?

I vote for simplicity.   Unfortunately, simplicity for me means doing absolutely nothing at all.

I thought about doing the adapters; never got sold enough on it to bother with it.

With the gas prices and snow season is getting close, I need to get my econobox insured and inspected.  I kinda miss driving it. The shifter is approximate, front and rear overhang is almost inexistant and I can drive it like a rental.

So, in true IHOP fashion, I'm considering selling my DSLR for a mirrorless to use a primary camera for zoom at my new remote job.

Talk me into jumping off the ledge?
