The problem with PL Premium is that people (not you) talk about it as if there were only one. There are several PL Premiums, I don't know which one to use. I have used it before. I suppose the advantage is you buy it in a tube and need a caulking gun so there is the cool factor, but it is overkill to the overkill most of us do anyway. It comes out with the consistency of toothpaste, very thick. It is NOT good for the precision CNC cut flatpacks exactly because it is so thick. Titebond III is the right stuff. I like Titebond much each better, either the white or yellow version. The Titebonds are very strong for the cabs we are building, relatively inexpensive and easy to work with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bill recommends it because people (like me) who can’t cut absolutely perfect joints can still successfully build an air-tight THT. If you have CNC cut stuff, Titebond is going to result in tighter joints and is fantastically strong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to buy a terminal cup, screws, stuffing and wire to complete the basic build. I mention a terminal cup because i don't recommend installing the amplifier in the cabinet. 16 hours ago, Heritage_Head said: I think I might give this a shot. I have used the smaller 10" version of the Ultimax several times. This one keeps up with my Hersey with 250 wpc plate amp. The 15" with your amp should be able to keep up with your LS (to a point). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how you could do any better for the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 It does hit 18hz -3db 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Im going to try my 800 watt sledge amp on it. The two peq might be useful. I also believe it will drop in (fit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
