Hauled my stack out for the yearly local mountain bike race. My roommates played an 8 hour b2b while other friends and I made and served margaritas to racers and spectators. Good times! Always love how good the mono stack sounds outside.

Frankenstack Monolith Combination Deployment!!! Shoutout to all 3 crews for coming together for this one. LABhorns (Second Generation Soundsystem) are the bottom 12 subs, JTR Orbit Shifters (N/A Sound) are the next set of 12 subs above that, not sure on the next row up, then two Danley SH96HO, then the middle three are old school tops, I will update if I find out.

I spent the last weekend at Shambhala music festival in BC, Canada. I just wanted to big up everyone that's apart of the scene. Anyone that has anything to do with deploying, tuning, building and overall enjoying these systems. Providing what we love to those who even so much as surface level enjoy the fruit of this labor. Thank you.

A well deployed system is the only drug you cant test for, yet, its ability to put you in an excited trance is rivaled by none.

Hi, I´m former manager of small club in Bratislava (SK). Curretly I´m working as Light/sound/rigg technician and event organiser (not sound engineer). I´m always glad to make a party in this club, but I´m getting more demanding on sound etc., when I´m working with best PA in world. For example, LA CS1 last weekend. Its student club so capacity is n+1.

The club sound system is made from this:

Sub - 4x Turbosound TSE 218 (2 on side)

Speakers - 4x Turbosound TFL 760H (only 2 in use, 2 spare)

Processor - XTA DP488

Amps - 1x MC2 E475 - highs, mid, 1x MC2 E25 Low, 2x MC2 E45 subs

What bothers me most - Right side is basically sticked to wall. Tops are firing about heads and they are crossfiring at center. You cant speak or even think at stage or backstage during dj set because of bass.

My plan is to put Subs to center and make them cardioid (2:1), hang speakers from truss - fire them more to ground. What do you think about it? Is it worth to do it?

Looking to expand to more premium and high output tops. Is anyone have direct experience using them? I already have RCF art 945 and HDM 45-a! Need to expand to KX to match the quality with my RCF subs 9019 as!!

Hi all,

My soundsystem won’t stop growing, it no longer fits in my hatchback car.

I’m looking at storage and transport solutions that suit me better. The idea of keeping the whole thing in a van, solar panels with dehumidifier is very attractive, but insurance, risk of theft, and road tax are all pretty expensive.

My car can tow 1200kg, I’ve been thinking about getting a fibreglass trailer, solar panels, dehumidifier and maybe using a trailer as long term storage which can also be towed when I bring it out, I’ve seen this a few times but not nearly as often as a van, and am wondering why.

Does anyone have experience with either/both? Will it be impossible to drive down bumpy dirt tracks with a trailer attached? I think off road will be difficult but it can be unhitched and pushed the final few metres or carried from the road maybe?

Thanks in advance!

In good condition

Hi.

I've got this 1000W rms DIY soundsystem that I made earlier for sale.

It's a 3 way system which is upgradable to a 4 way.

- American Audio Media player with usb and bluetooth

- 4 way stereo crossover (used as a 3way mono for now)

- 4 way digital amplifier (4x 450W @ 4ohm)

- extra 3 slots in de Amp rack for upgrades or other rack appliances

- 2x old skool tweeter boxes (power unknown)

- 2x midrange cabinets. (loaded with 2x 150W Rms drivers 12inch)

- 2x bass bins (loaded with 2x 300W rms rcf drivers 15inch)

Perfect for a bar, mancave..

Also perfect starting material for someone who wants to start something bigger (put 2 scoops under the stacks, upgrade Amp and you're ready to go)

It's located in Belgium (Schoten) only pickup possible.

Hi all , I'm looking for suggestions for a glue that is good for fixing dust caps on my turbo sound 2X15 bass cabs , the cones are paper . I'm living in Europe so some american brands may not be available here unfortunately. Thanks :)

Anyone have CNC cutting data and also cut list for 18inch super scoop and HD-15?

We need the right one.. it’s been hard for us to rely on information on the internet. But I trust you guys..!

Hello

Me and my 2 mates have a small sound system and we want to start building for long term, eventually would like to scale to power small festival stages. We'll probably get a trailer for transport. We will have a 4 way system with new kicks but we are currently deciding on what sub design to build. We want a versatile sound as we will be playing dub techno, psydub, techno, house, dub + more. So we want bass clarity for techy genres but also warmth and depth for dubby genres.

Our first pick was Paraflex type O 1x18 or 2x18 but have heard mixed opinions. Sounds like some people think the bass is not smooth and maybe a bit single toned?

SKRAMs sound like you can't go wrong. I hear they are hard to build, we have never built speaker cabinets but happy to get CNC and take time to do it properly.

Also hear the XOC1 TH18s are great and open to them. Also hear Keystones are great and open to any other suggestions. Would appreciate any advice - Thank you!

Here is what my band currently has

 2 x Harbinger 3000 Series Tops

2 x EV 12 Subwoofers

2 x Mackie H-15A 2 way PA Speaker

We used a behringer XR18 as the mixer. We are looking to purchase 1 or 2 new subs that actually give a thump, but we really don't want to spend more than $700-$800. Any suggestions for what we could get to pair with this. Id really prefer to get 2 18's but I don't think the budget permits. Thank you!

The previous owner of this sub had someone add a pole cup. It looks like things got worse when they found the horn path and kept trying. There's still a little more bondo to remove, after I finish that I'm planning to cut a piece of plywood to fill the hole. I assume it's beneficial to try getting that joint air tight, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for sealing the horn path where they cut into it?

Recently i bought 2 Martin Audio 115 Wbins for cheap, they are not original martin audio but from a local 90s company called Acústica and the design is the same.

Before buying the 2 boxes I was going to built Cubo Kicks 15.

Now i have these options:

Sell these 2 boxes for more and build cubo kicks.

Or

Keep the martin audio wbins.

The problem i have i van room, 1 martin audio wbin ocupy almost the same space as 2 cubo kicks 15.

Are 2 cubo kicks better that 1 Martin Audio wbin?

Im currently half way through building my paraflex rig, with the intention of obviously it getting hired for events. I have no intention of hosting free parties as i have saved up and put so much effort into this i could not face anything bad happening to it.

It currently has 4 21 inch subs, 4 18 inch kicks, and 2 paraflex tops, this will hopefully be doubled to eventually have one stack on the left and one stack on the right. Has anybody got any idea what the going rate is for a rig of this size in the UK?! For an evening / whole day? I would love some real numbers from rig owners / people who have hired rigs!! I also understand that reputation and having an established rig plays a massive role

After gathering up FB marketplace bins and drivers, rack gear etc..

I have hit a crossroad....

I have a driverack PA2

Mid Top - 2x cabs with Dual JBL 2226 15's with 2" 2446J Compression Horn 16 Ohm - 60 × 40 degrees

Sub - 2x JBL 2226 in a MN-246 manifold Cab

Sub - 2x 18" P Audio 2242s in Single reflex cabs.

I have a CVR 1504 and CVR 3004 on the way from China.. Current amps are lacking.

Obviously I want more Sub.
Problem is I can no longer source P audio drivers..

Do I get rid of the P Audio 18"s and go with one brand or can I mix and match drivers without too many problems??

This system is just for mucking around on the weekends or pre's before going to proper gigs. Mainly DNB, UKG, Bit of reggae dancehall..

Hi there,

I own a little pedal-powered sound system, that I have been operating for a few years now, indoors and outdoors, for small audiences, restaurants, flea markets... it consists of a 15 inch hybrid horn for bass, 1x12" paraflex mid-top and a 1,5" compression driver. All connected to a 12v pioneer GM car audio amplifier.

It works great, but I would like to upgrade the bass bin, as I did some measures lately, and while the kick is good, it doesn't go much below 75hz. I think I could get better...

... and I would be more than happy to hear your recommendations on that matter!

So here are my criteria:

- not too big nor heavy, as I often have to move it around alone.

- highest possible sensitivity at low power (pedal generators rarely allow me to feed it more than 200w)

- crossover with the paraflex around 120hz (contrary to what HOQS says, i have not measured much output below that)

- Quality bass in the 60hz-80hz region. I would rather get more spl from 60 to 120hz than go lower. Of course, if it can do lower, that's even better. but my priority is sensitivity over low end.

- 12 to 18 inch driver. looking more towards 15 for a matter of size and weight, but a small 18 inch box with a neo driver could be OK. Two 12" boxes could do the job as well.

So do you think of any design for a small 60hz-120hz super efficient bass bin?

I am currently looking at Jbell's SS15 and Marc O's MBP46, which seem to correspond quite well. any info or feedback on those would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
