mustang guy Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I am almost done with the Bill Fitzmaurice T-30. I don't expect it to perform to full potential because I had to make some adjustments to the mouth to get it to fit. It doesn't matter. From what it was, a pair of $75 Chinese pro speakers, to a pair of Klipsch KPT-200 IMAX surrounds and a Bill Fitzmaurice sub, will make this thing an order of magnitude better than it was. Here are a couple of pics of the sub process: Here is the sub dry screwed together: Now I am gluing it up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looks like something Tim The Tool Guy would have. ARRRRRR ARRRRR ARRRRR I love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Gotta paint it and seal the access port, but she sounds pretty good. I mounted the Bash 300 in a way that it will get ventilation. I was a bit concerned that it would overheat in a small enclosure. Here are a few pics. This is the LAB12 mounted: The Bash will be mounted in the electronics area of the Jukebox. It won't stay here. This shows the ventilation area. The amp will be mounted vertically. I really don't expect this sub to go 1 to 1 with the KPT-200's. It will, however, make them sound quite a bit less anemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I should say so, just tuned into thread. Wow is all I got for now. One of first experiences with loud music was a jukebox over the water on the coast. The bass way revealing. Bet you could record it for us... Anyway tops!

jason str Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Tuba 30 should have no problem keeping up with your KPT- 200 pair, probably distort your mains before you hear any stress from the subwoofer. Looks like a great project. What made you choose the Tuba 30 over the Table Tuba ? A double 8" Table Tuba would hit lower notes and give more than enough volume.

wvu80 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) There was a custom car show at Nash school yesterday (Sat afternoon, about a couple miles from Mustang Guy's speaker ranch). I wondered if you might roll the jukebox out for that event. I looked for you, but didn't see you. I know I didn't hear you.

Looks like a great project. What made you choose the Tuba 30 over the Table Tuba ? A double 8" Table Tuba would hit lower notes and give more than enough volume. The KPT-200's are 99db efficient 175 watt speakers. The T30 is 95db efficient and is probably going to see no more than 150 watts from the 300 bash which is rated at 300 at 4ohm and the LAB12 is 6ohm plus 2db from the horn, which makes 8ohm. Why the bash 300? ... well two reasons, budget and A/C power requirements. I don't need the lower notes the TT provides. In fact, the 30Hz the T30 can do is wasted on this jukebox. In fact anything below 40Hz is unnecessary. I have never heard a TT, but I have 2 THT's. This T30 hits a lot harder than the THT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This jukebox is the Rollin Oldies. They are having a show soon, but I can't remember when . I'm not in that organization, but I have a good friend that is.

Moderators dtel Posted September 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2014 Very nice, that will add some weight, to the jukebox and especially the sound. Looks like you have a Kreg Jig or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yup, I love my Kreg. In fact, I used Kreg screws to fasten the parts together (not using jig, but straight in) on the sub while the glue dried. They are like chrome drywall screws with heads that never strip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I got everything connected and had a listen. All I can say is WOW! It sounds like a giant Wurlitzer jukebox. It's awesome. The original builder stopped by and had a listen. He was very impressed by how it sounded, and said we had done a great job. Here is the sub, slid into place. Tight fit, but it fit, and that's what matters. Tomorrow everything will get buttoned up. Edited November 27, 2014 by mustang guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
