    it is conflict that makes us stronger... it tests our will... and if you listen to dissenting views, can open your eyes to new ways of seeing.

    I for one do not want to exist in a world where everyone thinks the same or acts the same... lest we weaken our existence.

    Some of the blocks around here (Ohio) slowly sink or move through the winters.

    What did they put under the blocks for a base?

    We have caliche here in Vegas, so they build up a base of caliche then add an inch or two of sand and compact the hell out of it with a machine compactor.

    ahh  the "I" pattern, looks good. I'm having about a 450 ft^2 of my driveway done hopefully starting this week too. If it doesn't rain too much.

    I would have thought you would do it yourself... I just dont have the energy for this stuff any more. That little path is about 350sq ft... not quite a new klipsch hornloaded subwoofer, but probably not far off.

    Everything I was reading about setting a sub crossover was to set it around 10hz higher than what the speakers can do.

    I think that is backwards...

    you want each segment of your speaker setup to begin rolling off 'approximately' 10Hz sooner than the lowest frequency of the next segment...

     

    for instance a subwoofer to a bass bin... the subwoofer would begin rolling off around 40Hz at its upper cutoff, and the Bass Bin would begin it's roll off around 50Hz at it's lower cutoff. set the roll off to 6db... but you can try 12db and 18db very easily to see if the slope is more or less to your liking. The reason you are doing this is because as the two signals cross over, they 'Sum' and cause a bump in response. if you aren't careful, you can cause yourself issues with unnecessary 'peaks' in frequency response at those XO points if they overlap by to much.

     

    this of course is merely generality, your specific needs might be different.
