Louder ported. Sounds great and gets loud either way

What projector is it? Can't wait to get another projector. Only ~8 more weeks until the house is ready!

It is the new home theater in the new house I am building!

Gain 1/2 way could still = heavy clipping. . . From a 1500D to a 2200D will not big a huge difference in electrical stress. You have a decent electrical system, install everything and then upgrade as required. Brian

Drywall yesterday. I had them use 2 extra large tubes of flexible drywall adhesive. Seems really solid. Will know in a few weeks!

In the next 6-7 weeks will be fine

Thanks. I was just going to have them glue and screw it, so I will check it out. You build my last two subs yet?

one box of screws, half gallon of titebond II, and 3 1/2 sheets of 1 1/8" floor decking:

Got a good portion of the wall done. Got too dark to get a good pic, but here was the first panel:

I ended up buying 1 1/8" plywood. It is T&G subfloor. Should be more than enough. Hope to have pictures of the actual wall this weekend. Brian

The shop is like 75% of the rest of the people on this planet that do not know the difference between AC impedance and DC resistance. . . A DMM only reads DC resistance. What you play through a speaker is not DC.

My last setup was (4) Avalanche 15's in 12 cuft sealed with heavy EQ to get them down below 20 Hz. Honestly not quite enough with music. More than enough for watching movies. I am looking for effortless, clean, LOW bass with this setup. My front 3 are North Creek Rhythm Unlimited's from back when they came with the Scan Speak 9500 tweeter. Running each speaker on 335 watts RMS with a 50 Hz HP filter. Surrounds are the Standard Borealis kits with the 9500 tweeters. 200 watts RMS each with a 80 Hz HP filter. Rhythm_and_Borealis George broke-in and match all 8 7" drivers and the 5 tweeters. Cabinets are built just like the plans - they are heavy and solid! They are just an awesome sounding speaker. I built these speakers in October 2001 - This is the longest I have ever owned the same pair of speakers. No plans to replace them, unless I decide to build a set of line arrays like the ones I posted the build of here: Project over the past month. - SSA Car Audio Forum They are loud, but not as clean and do not image like the Rhythms, so I just keep going with what I have. . . Brian

Hmmmm. . . Maybe I have mids and highs that will keep up with it no problem.

With the concern of movement, I had the framer add a 2x8 next to each 2x6 along the front wall. Like I said, I will also be adding 2 layers of MDF or 11-layer plywood too. If I have any flex when it is complete, I will add 2" x 3" angle iron to the back of the studs on each side of the drivers, but I cannot imagine and 2x6 tied to a 2x8 on 16" centers with 1.5" of plywood is going to flex much. . . As far as volume. . .I have over 10,000 cuft of attic space Will be powered with a PLX 3402 for now, so ~300-350 watts per woofer.

UPS came yesterday. Wife brought them all in the house for me. Told her to think of it as a workout.

I am building a new house and decided to give IB a try. . . Just ordered (8) Fi IB3 18" subs for it. Plan is to run 4 subs from ceiling to floor on each side of the projector screen. Pictures will come. The front wall of the theater room is 2x6 studs. Will start building it up with MDF next week Brian

I miss my 40.1's

No one has asked how much power and what ohm load. Hmmmm. . .

PM replied.

If you have 3 cuft NET volume and proper port area, I would do the 15", since you have 4000 watts. . . I have run 15" BTL's and Mayhems in less than 3 ft and they sounded great.

PM me what size and your zip code. I will get you a price with shipping and info on how to order. Brian

It just got there Friday and you have already sent 3 emails to them asking about it???? Orders/repairs are processed in order. . .Give it a few days.

Or (2) Audioque 2200's for $778 shipped. One per coil Brian edit - Did I mention I can get recone kits for you

So assuming you are running (2) D4 subs and ~1800 watts from that amplifier, 12 ga is more than enough.
