I think Andrew's been hanging around Jeff too long... tongue.gif

Actually I blame Austin (popalock). He and I have been communicating (scheming) quite a bit over the past few weeks. Wait until you see/read about his upcoming setup. biggrin.gif

I might have to include myself in next years GTG since missing the last one and it looked to be a great opportunity to hear some nice stuff.

Those subs look like they are punishing that room and 2 more might bring it down lol!!!

Fun stuff!!!

The drop ceiling is right at 8 feet in my basement. The actual joists are at 9 feet though.

Updates: Finishing up with box #3 at the moment. Box #4 will be a leftover from this weekend's GTG thanks to my buddy Popalock. Finishing for that box to occur next week.

The new amp came in last night, so I'll be ready for the next 4 drivers when my bank account permits, LOL.


Side note - I watched Art of Flight for the first time on my setup last night. HOLY ****. Incredible eye candy and sound. I've read the rave reviews on here and elsewhere and figured it was another over hyped product but I was wrong. Highly recommended if you haven't tried it at home.

Looks AWESOME Andrew. I'm jealous!

I'm penciling in the GTG as soon as the dates are announced.

If I only have time to demo one piece, that is the one I use. The music and sound and picture are first rate.

Agreed, I'm impressed. This will be my go-to disc for those wanting to check out the projector. cool.gif

Yea but look at how much they dip below that tongue.gif. I know I am probably flat to below 10Hz but I don't know how low I really go because my charts end at 15hz and they are flat to that. But in an older chart that Mark did I was flat to about 7Hz, But that is just plain silly.

7Hz, that's it?!? What a whimpy system you have. You need to get something that goes to at least 6Hz... tongue.gif


Seeing as how they're done -- and obviously working quite well -- we need to help Andrew come up with a name for these beasties, so I'll throw out the first few suggestions:

  • Disemboweler
  • Annihilator
  • The Divorcer
  • Executioner
  • Spleen Wrecker
  • Demolisher
  • Room Ransacker
  • Foundation Floater

Haha, I like The Divorcer. You are really sending a message to the wife if you tell her you are getting ready to build a sub named that.

Well, unlike many here, I only have one sub smile.gif. But I do have a Crowson transducer system that goes below 6Hz so at least I have that going for me biggrin.gif
Like your names BTW, especially 1 and 5.

Building built. biggrin.gif Still need to order the drivers and finish (prime/paint) the 4th box, but they are pretty much done now. Austin built the 4th box for use in testing in tomorrow's GTG, but he built a clone of my other boxes so I'm going to use that as #4.

The combination of components in my signal chain apparently are producing a rolloff at right around 6hz. From what I've seen on here this is very normal. This won't change by adding more subs, etc. My omnimic is only calibrated to 5hz anyway. tongue.gif

LOL @ the Diverocer and the Disembowler. None of those names sound pleasant, I like it. biggrin.gif

The gym is actually 2 separate rooms - the other room has mostly accessory and cardio equipment. As a powerlifer, unfortunately I'm forced to keep up with squatting, ugh. It's fun most of the time but it sure takes its toll with age.

Fellow powerlifter. Haven't competed in a while, but the burn still exists. Nice setup.

Robert - Nice! What fed(s) did you compete in? I've been mostly UPA and APA lately. I believe you about the burn. frown.gif

Thanks for the complements.

Jim - at yesterday's mini-GTG we did some measurements with 1 box. Both the single dual opposed dayton enclosure and single LMS hit 6hz in my room. biggrin.gif

Show off. tongue.gif

Was that measured with the same mic that isn't calibrated for anything below 5Hz? Is it possible with the hefty room gain you're getting that there's actually usable output below that?

Yes and maybe although I'm not sure how much can be noticed at that point. tongue.gif

Yea, I was thinking about that after my post; is there really anything that has audio information below 5Hz? I doubt it, so perhaps you're set for now. By 'for now' I mean until you get the next wild idea that pops into your head... biggrin.gif

So Box #3 is ready for the drivers and Box #4 is in the finishing stages. Austin (popalock) actually constructed the last box for use in yesterday's GTG. He had been attempting to procure 2 of the new SI 18's but unfortunately those did not get to us in time for the test. The good news is that he built it to my specs so that I could use it after the day was done. Thanks Austin! biggrin.gif The next 4 drivers were ordered yesterday morning. I'm hoping to have these boxes finished, alive, and kicking in another 7-10 days. Update: Just got shipping confirmation from PE, woot! They showed out of stock right after I ordered so maybe I got the last batch? smile.gif

Last night I started on the finishing process. The roundovers are done, and I've started sanding and filling in some voids that were present on the edges.

Sorry to see you leave the JTR family as I just became a member, but love your build. I bet it sounds awesome.
