Quad RSS390HF-15 Build (in progress) - Page 2

Saturday I completed one and on Sunday, completed another. DONE!

Whats left is the roundover, bondo, primer, and paint. For my first build it came out better than I expected. There are some gaps and one does not sit level but its nothing a little bondo and adjustable spikes can't fix

I think I'll connect all four to my computer to have a listen for a few hours tomorrow.

I can't remove the drivers from the enclosures... I tried making a hook from a small screw driver and it still won't budge.

I may be able to push a stick through the terminal plate and push the magnet. Would like any other ideas but for now...go to go to work This is going to bug me all day!

Edit: Phew! I was able to get it out, used a stick to push up on the basket through the terminal plate.

Thanks.

I'm 99.9999% complete with the boxes, I updated my post with some pictures. This saturday I will have them up and running, hopefully with some graphs.

Its been a couple months since I've updated anything. I did run some graphs and I got some pretty nasty dips at 35hz and 80hz IIRC. I tried spinning some of the subs around and it did nothing, not much I can do with placement but Audyssey does flatten it out some. I couldn't be any happier with the sound, when pushed hard it sounds clean. Right now I'm using some old HTIB speakers sitting on top of the subs. I plan to build 3 seos12 speakers in the future.

I did create some videos if anyone cares...

The receiver volume was set to -5 but the subs were running hot, my guess would be +6db. Radioshack meter dial is at 110db. I probably could have gone a bit further but I was too chicken It sounds distorted because the microphone was not designed for such high spl.

The cloth is not jet black so it does kind of look a little tiny bit purple. Its really not that bad in person in normal lighting conditions.

Here is the clamp. I added a piece of USB cable to fill in the gap and the grip is pretty good, no play at all. The clamps were made for woofers that are mounted on top of the baffle, thats why there is a gap. I plan to replace these with some Angled Clamps, I think these will look nicer.

This is what the setup currently looks like. I plan to build 3 slim sealed SEOS Tempest. I was thinking of placing the left and right Tempests in the the corners but I don't know where to put the lamps without it looking weird.

Under the lamps.

There wasn't a lot voids in it but I wouldn't use it again because of the thin veneer on the outside. The veneer is pretty nice but its useless in a cabinet if you only plan to use glue and no screws.

Its a very thin veneer and I would think the veneer would separate from the plys if its only held by glue.
