Rowan611 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Why are you doing this as a down firing vs how a regular THTLP works? This is strictly a question of curiosity. Looking good man!! Or, are you building this for someone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) The THT works best with a boundary, floor, ceiling, wall or corner. Downfiring just uses the floor for the boundary. Works best 16"-24" horn mouth to boundary so the 18" leg height works well. Its for myself. Edited December 6, 2015 by jason str 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan611 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah. I have both of mine 12" from the wall, and both are in corners. I did some sweeps with REW and saw no difference in 18" vs 12". I like how they look better at 12", so that's where they stayed. I can't wait to see the final product man!

SWL Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Mine sits in the corner 10" from the front wall and 2" from the side wall. Mouth is 2.5 feet from boundary. After a lot of experimenting with placement/location this worked best in my room. Mine is the 18x15x72 'slim' THTLP.

Schu Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 This is precisely what I wanted you to build for me when I was inquiring a few months ago... a vertical horn. let me know how it sounds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 By all means use what works best for you in your room. My old 24" THT worked great right between the La Scala's with the horn mouth pointed right at me. Schu, the THT & THTLP sound the same, really good. If you can fit one into your room layout and crave clean bass notes its a win-win situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Subscribed I just bought the plans for both the TUBA HT and the THTLP not sure which way to go just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan611 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Subscribed I just bought the plans for both the TUBA HT and the THTLP not sure which way to go just yet. Can't go wrong either way. I think the LP is a bit more difficult due to the length?? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Not saying it's a hard build, just more difficult then the THT. I had no problem building my THT, and was planning on building a second THT until I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

jason str Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 UPS delivered the new Dayton late last night, probably get back to the build on Friday. More to come... The THT and the THTLP builds are about the same amount of work, build what fits your needs best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Ran the speaker wire through the motorboard and installed the side panel last night. Got the legs done this afternoon, might work on the driver chamber after dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
