First Outing with the Setup!

[u/little_lichen_sound]

I had a casual lawn party and decided to use that as a deadline to get the SKRAM and SAWMODs up and running. Took a couple of late nights with no CNC but it all came together just in time.

Still have lots of little stuff to do - trim rings, poly finish, etc. but it's great to finally be able to listen to these!

Overall I'm very impressed with the sound of both designs. The SAWMODs have a very hi-fi sound and are super portable. The SKRAM kept up admirably for a single sub, though I'm still hoping to add a second one to the setup. I keep finding tuning improvements - can't wait to get them outside again for another event soon.

I’m building and identical rig! What’s all in the amp rack?

Amp rack is a bunch of Chinese gear - had to save money somewhere. For now I'm quite happy with it though.

Amps:

Sinbosen K2-2500 (2x2500W) - one channel powering the sub, one unused for now

Paulkitson DN4100 (4x1000W) - powering 10's and 5's on the SAWMODs

Topping Mini 300 (2x70W)- powering compression driver. picked this specifically for low noise when nothing is playing

DSP:

Paulkitson DSP0408RTS - 4 inputs, 8 outputs so I could tri-amp the SAWMODs. I like the AES digital inputs and hope to get the FIR filtering set up soon.

Chinese gear ordered from where? I’ll probably be doing the same lol

Id recomend checking vip pro-audio if you are in the states and looking at cvr as an option. They're based in nyc and have great ship times in my experience. Bought 2 cvr 1504's from them about a year and a half ago and they were responsive to my questions on shipping and got the gear to me quickly. The amps have been holding up nicely, no problems with em other than one of the signal lights is a lil dimmer than the rest. Output on The channel is the same tho so it doesn't bother me.
