You know there is just something about having them in my own room and with very familiar music. Those 402 horns are just amazing. But I want more bass. And I know everybody's going to say "you need a sub or two" but first I want to get the bass bins dialed in to the best of their capabilities in my room.  BTW do the level meters on your Xilica ever show anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Roy's settings for the 32 bass boost? I think they are part of the Xilica settings.  I think I have read, just like with the DX 38, that on rare, rare occasions you may see one light flicker on the level meters.

But you have 510s, they're no slouches either. And I love the cabinets you made for them. I have lots of "prettying up" to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have so far is a file from ChrisA. Looks like there are six PEQs in the bass bin and 5 are cuts. I have lots of tuning to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Roy gave Corey his setting for the Xlica, you might check with @MetropolisLakeOutfitters  So more bass. What do you typically listen to?   Are your doors/room wide enough for an 1802? EDIT: Yes they are, lucky you.  You get that 1802 in there and you will never say "I need more bass" again.  They look great, you are going to have a lot of fun for a long time coming.  LaScalla's in 1977? That is amazing.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ask metropolis about the 1502 if the 18 is to large... it seems to me to be a better fit for a room in a home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I run two TH subs on the bottom end of my Jubs, so the settings you have are really set up to let the subs carry the load below ~40 Hz.  Until you have a PC to run REW, you can add a 4-6 dB boost at 31 Hz with 0.33 octave bandwidth. This PEQ will likely be very close.  Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be the reason I don't know, only a few inches difference if buying just get the 1802............easy for me to say since it's not my $.  But it does exists positively, whether it goes in production I have no idea, I haven't talked to Roy about this so I have no idea if will be sold ?.....

It seems that corporations always move in mysterious ways. Perhaps a DIY version is needed in the mean time from someone with a little time on their hands?   And I believe that a little more form factor squeezing of the 1502 might also be worthwhile. They are still very large.  I'm not personally interested in a 1502-sized subwoofer since I have no room for cabinets of that size and/or form factor because I simply have no where to put them. I also don't need any more projects than I've already got presently. But I assume that there are a few people that frequent this forum that might like to own one (or two).  @CECAA850? @jwc?  Just a little Hornresp work would be needed to verify the fine dimensions/expansion pathways. That would likely be minimal in terms of time spent...(@Edgar? @BEC? Someone with a CNC router table could rip out the parts in short order.  Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
