1HOHDude Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Tuba 24 is 24 xx 24 x 16[or 24] and the HT is 36 x 36 X 18+. This version is 36 X 36 X 24. Here is the curve from the Tuba web site. Anyone got a curve from someone other than the mfg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1HOHDude Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 This one was a 24 the first time it was together; suspect that will be what it turns out to be when I put it back together. This time I will use real glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Use PL premium X3, the horn path and rear chamber must be leak free in order to work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1HOHDude Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks for what sounds like good advice. Good stuff but a bit more expensive than Guerrilla glue and a lot more than the white glue used the first time. However I have been told by others that an absolute seal is critical.

1HOHDude Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The theater is fully functional now after several wiring glitches. Ended up bi-amping the TSCMs and using the Marantz speaker balancing. A few minor mods to my ear and I absolutely love it. As good as any home sound system I have heard. The $ spent on the TSCMs was a really good investment. Time to start building my TUBA HT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1HOHDude Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Final: On the theater, all is in and working; down to final wiring cleanup and bundling. Now on to the TUBA. Lots of lessons learned about a home theater. Any way thanks to all those who assisted in the process. One general suggestion: Use only top spec Ethernet and HDMI cables since distance is a serious problem with lessor cables and whenever possible limit the number of connectors since they can cause impedance bumps and are sources of signal degradation; far better a single long wire then several shorter ones with connectors. As TV bandwidths grow this is an ever increasing problem. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1HOHDude Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 twistedcrankcammer Would love to have a set of the doubles. Should you run across a set I am in the market! Do you know if there is an inherent bottom to the TSCM bin that would keep a lower resonance driver from lowering the frequency coverage?

Should you run across a set I am in the market! Do you know if there is an inherent bottom to the TSCM bin that would keep a lower resonance driver from lowering the frequency coverage? These are Horn bass bins, not direct radiators! A horn produces 10 times as much output as a direct radiator of the same excursion. Horn frequency is determined by the length of said horn, so the answer to your question is that "NO", a lower frequency driver will not ,make the horn play lower frequencies. Also, changing the throw volume of the driver may call for a needed change in the restriction at the mouth of the horn. You can play with different Klipsch drivers available over the years with limited positive results, but the best way is to tri-amp the speakers and roll on the bass output sooner, or to buy very good, qualified subs to pair with the speakers. If you are space limited, I can personally recommend a pair of Velodyne HGS-18II subs as an excellent choice, and they will play down to 15 Hz, or a pair of Velodyne DD-18s will play down to 13 Hz. If the extra space is a no issue, I recommend pairing a horn loaded sub such as the high output KPT-1802, but the 1802 rolls off at 20 Hz. A high output 15 Hz or 13 Hz horn seems to be a unicorn.

CECAA850 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Roger, the Lil Wrecker tapped horn I built has an fs of 17hz but was about 29 cubic ft. A convenational horn good to 15hz would be enormous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
