You are welcome anytime my friend.

Haha. Yeah most of mine are from the ones in Las Vegas. Even found a pair of shorts with $80 in chips in the pocket once.

Dude, that's a steal! Will have to go scope out my Lowes tomorrow, as that style was my plan already! You da man!

Always good to have a visual. Then it's on and clacking!! Perhaps try some thrift stores, preferably in a high-end part of town. A lot of times you will find stuff from last year with the tags still on it. Especially something seasonal like that. 90% of my clothes are second hand. LOL

I stole it from a DYI loudspeaker group. The coolest thing I seen this week was a set of enclosures built out of marble. Definitely enough to keep one humble.

Hey Matt, did you finish up your Maelstrom enclosures yet? Thought you might like to see this.

Those look pretty sweet. My next set of headphones will be some over the ear muffs.

Don't know if I could abide by those guidelines. My logic would be I need more of something else, not less of that.

Yeah it's like that with their first anal toO. Have to explain it only feels kinky the first time.

Yeah , somebody's got to do it. Like we tell the new girls in the porn industry, it's not going to suck itself.

I will add if you really want output in the midbass range from a 2-way, a ported enclosure is an plausible option. Personally I think sealed with enough power to eq the midbass is the correct recipe. That and the Q can be matched to the cabin response. As I posted earlier in this thread, I am working on some ported and sealed boxes to test this. So we will see.

The peerless models beautifully but may not be that great if you are sticking with a two-way, due to roll off from inductance. Sadly I know you won't be happy with the output of a full ranger either, even on axis. see what you think of this guy. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-10-woofers/satori-wo24p-4-9.5-egyptian-?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjJXHtY3r2QIVj7rACh0LVwjLEAQYASABEgLQ__D_BwE Should work well with a beefy tweeter that digs low enough.

I gave two examples of worthy 10" midbasses on the first page. Designed for a small enclosure, high xmax, strong motor force, low coil inductance. As far as sensitivity... Why do you think all companies don't just make high efficiency speakers only? I will give a clue. What sounds are audible at times in a speaker and are undesirable, other than the original signal being play through it? Home speakers have extra design steps to eliminate THESE undireable sounds (insert awnser from above here) AND publish what has be done to accomplish such tasks. a car sub that falls flat on its face at 200hz will have THESE undireable sounds playing louder than the source material at that point. if you still haven't guessed it cross your subwoofer over super high and see what you hear.

Saturday was a week in on the shower build. I got the plumbing done, electrical done, structural framing (12" OC ceiling and 1 1/2" ply floor) and fully insulated w/vapor barrier. I haven't worked on it the last two days, but here's where I was Saturday. Getting ready to put in the membrane and pour a second layer on the floor today. woot woot

Goooood morning my brother man bro

What do you do when the sound levels do not match once you have set all your amps to an arbitrary setting with a scope?

A 2-way with a 10" and a full-ranger mounted on axis would be a great place to get the feet wet.

SUPER jelly here! I need to ask santa for a set of the SSA amps this year.

Trying to get rid of a "wub wub wub" or a "doof doof doof" sound?

Audible distortion perhaps.

At the end of the day it is still all about Hoffmans iron law. By the time you build a stout enough enclosure for the midbass. Then account for the displacement of the enclosure and the speaker, you will have a small enclosure. I speak from experience, plan on having a lot of power and a speaker that can handle it. At the minimum one that can handle 200watts, at the bare minimum. I would highly recommend one that can take more. Think about how much power you feed your sub. Do you think a 100 or 150 Watt 10" will level out and not be stressed? If sticking in that power range, a 7" mid/woofer 2 way will sound better. Believe me I'm not trying to talk you out of anything. My mantra is no guts, no glory! But it is a lot of work and money. So if it's not thought out and calculated correctly, it will be less than stellar.

Lucky you... its my Friday
