The Dude Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice Carl! Is Jason str's table tuba in the Chicagoland thread the same principal as yours......made to look like a piece of furniture? I assume you need a bit of power to drive them? I drove mine, like the tall version of JasonStr's with a one channel of a McIntosh MC2100 and it shook things pretty well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice Carl! Is Jason str's table tuba in the Chicagoland thread the same principal as yours......made to look like a piece of furniture? I assume you need a bit of power to drive them? That's correct. He may have an 8" driver (I'm not sure) as opposed to the 10" in mine but it's the same sub. Basically, build the sub and put whatever finish on it that you want. I believe the plans call for the driver opening to be within a couple inches of the floor/wall and his is quite a bit more than that. I may not be an audible difference however. Horns need less power than conventional subs. I'm driving a dual 8" driver box with a BASH 300 watt plate amp. It's plenty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Good day my friends...... Excellent topics / conversations today... (tuba project!!) Lunch time here, but too lazy to drive out, so, I had our wonderful office gal run to D&D's for me with my card.... I needed to replenish my personal coffee supply. So, just brewed this up, it is actually pretty good ;0) So was the chocolate croissant ! Oh, I will be shopping for some interconnects for the vintage rig.... Believe it or not, the long runs (12') to the mono blocks are from Home Depot and are dead silent ! May just pick a few shorty pairs for stuff in the rack so it all matches... (0; Yes, those are restored pipe organ parts in the background.... Enjoy the day everyone :0)) .....Gary Edited March 3, 2015 by Tigerman 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Sheesh, Carl. I think that the Dayton amp I am using for the Cinema F-20 is 150 watts and I can't possibly use it all without risking damage to the house... Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave My dual 8's are wired for an 8 Ohm load so I'm not getting nearly 300 watts. It's also on the back patio and fires into a fairly large area. It's just about right.

Fjd Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well I may now have the record for the quickest sale in the Garage forum. Listed my HK A500 integrated amp.....walked Jake to the end of my road, came back and it was sold. I chatted later with forum member Zim. and he seems like a great guy. It was gone through by Craig so I sell it with confidence. Congratulations on the sale. The HK A500 is a really nice integrated and you offered it up at a great price. I was going to post a few specs for you and a headphone modification; however, before I got a chance to log in the amp was sold. Our by laws require that we mention cables in this thread every 60 days so is anyone still using cables? How about power cords? Speaker wire? Or are we all wireless now? Not completely wireless. How is this for the requirement? Late breaking news hot off the presses on why premium cables cost so much! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Sorry Chuck, I should not encourage the sweets ;0) Carl, those are leather padded phenolic discs. They are mounted on threaded brass wires and held I place with cow hide 'nuts' OK, stop laughing now (((0: Anyway, these go into an all wood assembly and shift back and forth when a note is played on the organ, thus in turn, lets stored wind blow into the organ pipes... The silver metal discs, are 'armatures' that go into an antique magnet assembly... When you play a note, this disc will shift, sending a pneumatic signal to those mentioned above... It is kind of complicated, but believe it or not, this very old system is lighting quick! Hope that is enough info for those interested... Mallette, you would love my Allen... I have a DIY 'water heater' subwoofer. It is a SQUARE 15" driver powered by the big Dayton sub amp (1000 watts) and handles the two 32' stops...... All for now.... ........gw Edited March 3, 2015 by Tigerman 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? yes, it's the new style Keyless cuuck, it's a $200 chuck so i cannot complain the taper is wrong for my drill press, i simply broke down the press, pulled the shaft and will have a machinist turn it down a tad. Do it myself but my metal lathe is in a hanger in Reno w/no power anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
