  1. Speed, Is the "Wits End" bar still in Portland? Had a great time sampling the wall of beers. Just a thought if you get parched. Eric ------------------ There is no substitute for cubic inches?
  2. Rotel RB980, Creek integrated before that. Both are/were excellent. Eric ------------------ There is no substitute for cubic inches?
  3. Just realized, if I build this, it won't fit thru the door to the basement. I'm going to have to make it so it can be disassembled, then cut it and build it in place. I'd hate to have to leave it behind if we move. And right when I was getting all excited, well at least my shorts are a comfortable fit again!

  4. You can try spikes if you would like, but I can tell you from experience, trying to hold a Khorn in the air and flush with the corner is... difficult, especially by yourself. There is also the problem of not setting the spike through your foot (not a pleasant experience) while trying to maintain balance, and not drop the speaker. My suggestion is get a patient, very patient, friend to help. I ended up removing mine... from the Khorn and the foot. Good luck Eric ------------------ There is no substitute for cubic inches?
  5. Gil, It would never have caught my attention about the impedance going back to "normal" in absence of the horn load. You're input has been highly informative, anything else you might want to share will be greatly appreciated, I'm all ears. Jim, Sounds like you're cracking some plaster and loving it. Is that Crate similar in design to University? What would be your guess on low end response of your sub? Thanks fellas, Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  6. Math was never my forte, but let me see if I understand, 'cos, for me, that was a brainfull... Scale all dimensions by 1.414, not 1.2, right? If 1.414 is correct then the mouth comes to @ 8.5x18.375. Would I be able to modify the dimensions to 10x16 to maintain the 160 sq in., or leave as is, but only taking the width to edge of the gasket on the speaker frame? About 17.5". Thanks, Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  7. I'm happy I have the opportunity to experience the passion he shared, God bless. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  8. Gil, Horn loading these will raise the impedance to 16 ohms correct? So hooking them up parallel will get me back to 8 and the corresponding increase in output, or is there more involved because of the horn loading? Thanks, Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  9. Gil, Thanks for the info, I had thought about using a Patrician IV or a scaled up version of an Imperial build in style for the sub duties, but the Pats need corners, which are already spoken for by Khorns, and putting them at the floor/wall junction would just turn them into a jungle jim for the boys (2,4,and 6), and the Imperials would scale to an obscenely large cabinet (78x45x30). Thats why I thought about using the University cabinet, not exactly petite, but still sized within reason, and not needing a corner I can use them along a wall. If I can get down into the mid to upper 20's and still have everything hornloaded, I'd be very happy. Again, thanks for your input. This project will probably get the evil eye, but I think I can sell it. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  10. Anyone? ------------------ Where does this connect?
  11. insomniac, If you have somewhere to listen to Rotel, that might be a consideration for you. I've used Rotel gear for nearly 10 years and have had nary a problem. My best friend swears by his Aragon if that's within your budget. Good luck and good listening, Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  12. The numbers are: Fs is 28.1025 Hertz Qts is 0.3330 cone area is 0.1359 m^2 Qes is 0.3453 Vas is 22.1692 cubic feet Qms is 9.3576 Vas is 628.0218 litres Re is 5.5129 ohms Rm is 154.9145 ohms R1 is 29.2237 ohms Voice Coil Inductance Le is 2.8015 mH Efficiency is 97.89 dB 1w/1m BL is 19.32 Tesla meters Cm is 242.221 microns/Newton Mm is 132.4525 grams Rm (mechanical) is 2.499 mechanical ohms (Ns/m) The vented box I have worked out is 14 cuft (each) tuned to 22hz which gives an F3 of 51.8 F10 around 21/22, I figured with room gain that would put me back nearly flat to 25hz. Does that all seem to jive or am I off my rocker? Thanks, Eric Forgot this part, the Xmax is 6mm. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?

  13. Sorry about that, had started this under the thread for Q mans University Classic and thought I'd get more responses here. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  14. Is this workable? I've got two 18" drivers I'm planning to use for subs. Would scaling the Classic up to size work or should I go with a vented alignment?? Thanks for any info. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  15. It's been quite a while since I've posted, so here's a question to jump back in with. I've got two 18" drivers I'm planning to use for subs. Would scaling the Classic up to size work or is some extra math required. I know the Patrician IV is scaled but isn't the throat somewhat different? Thanks for any info. Eric ------------------ Where does this connect?
  16. Must have just missed one another. And I think the bottom end was 3hz with a reference to telephone poles. Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  17. Here's what you're looking for, follow the links, quite a tour. www.decware.com/ Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  18. Kings X is a great one, if your tastes run toward R&B or Jazz check out Tony Remy "Boof". That one will flap your cheeks, all around great recording. Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  19. If Mr. Neutron shows up...well, there will be a penguin on the tele. ------------------ You take Visa?
  20. But what about the coconuts? ------------------ You take Visa?

  22. I really don't see the problem with cast polymer for basket material, Klipsch isn't the only company using it, Audax comes to mind. They make some very well regarded drivers (Aerogel line) that use a cast polymer basket. Another advantage it has is it's about as non-resonant a material as you're likely to find. Don't mean get this thread off on a tangent, just my two cents Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  23. Cheese comes in copper? Personally I find them classy looking. Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  24. Looks like a home brew to me. The components may be sourced from Klipsch, but I've not encountered a cabinet quite like that, not to say Klipsch never made something similar. Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
  25. Doug, Have to agree with you on Stuart, and Alvin. Do you think there might be a relation to Ross Bagdasarian. Eric ------------------ You take Visa?
