CECAA850 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I use what's on hand. It was a party system for the back yard. Looks weren't high on the priority list but it came out good for what it was. I like the Boxx reference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Now that I think about it, the wire holders were bicycle hangers and the top and shelf's were made out of old cabinets from when I ripped my kitchen apart! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 kpt-884 has same surround and its a pro style sub. Flat to 18hz in my room. It was a monster. The enclosure is good to 27Hz (+ - 3dB) with that driver. You're experiencing room gain. A subwoofer driver with more x-max in that big of a box could go much lower. I won't argue the monster part! just saying the pro style drivers can deliver serious bass. The ae 18's in question I've heard four in huge enclosures and they could easily smoke my subwoofer setup from 15hz up. Also interesting is that Michael Bay, the king of explosions himself, apparently uses QSC pro subs in his home theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 These guys are wizard at sub design and DSP. Seaton usually picks out good parts to match his subs. Apparently it's because he's combining both passive radiators and ports. This is the inside of a Terraform XL. What in the sam hill is going on here, and how on earth do you even calculate such things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Would this be good enough for you....Ultimate sub just requires a basement or large crawl space. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/318489004873466911/ Edited November 21, 2015 by ellisr63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeskizzle Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) I got to experience 8 SI 18s in front and 2 SI HST 18s right behind the MLP for nearfield yesterday. That was pretty dang impressive. The gunshots in John Wick were very impactful. He had Danley SH 50s for LR and a Danley 69 for the center. His system was flat to 10Hz at reference no problem. The two SI 24s were just for testing purposes, but those things are powerhouses as well. There wasn't enough power coming into the house to power both the 24s and the 18s at once...but we did have plenty of amps to power both. Edit - added picture.

Quiet_Hollow Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 ... everybody always talks about busting drywall, but I've actually done it in a band practice. Six ported Yamaha 18's with 4,000 watts. I did this to the last place I lived at with a single 12" driver loaded in a horn sub, on 20 watts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you at Beast's GTG? Something about 8 subs being the magic number. The SI HT 18's are quiet impressive. You have the sealed Dayton 18 with a Marty, that should have some serious oomph.

Paducah Home Theater Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Starting to be kind of curious as to why bands don't just haul around a single 12" horn with a 20 watt amp for their entire bottom end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking pro sound here. Run 20 watts through some La Scala's or bigger and you will go deaf. Lots of horn loaded pro sound venues you could run off a medium sized generator rather than using mega amperage through the local power grid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapped horns are very different from fully horn loaded models, you are comparing apples to onions once again. Wrong drivers used in the Danley DTS-10 most likely altered figures as well, test was rigged in my opinion but not what we were talking about anyways. Just wanted to point it out.
