Some years ago, I did listen to a sub with a 24" driver from Deep Sea sound at an audio show. I was fairly impressed. It wasn't even loud in the room and my pants were flapping. 👍 Net time you're in TX.............. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a folded horn. So because it is not straight it is not a horn? If so KHorns, Jubes, MWMs ain't horns either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller has four that he's selling. Two or four... Two or four...😁 Two for front and rear mid wall placement is second best. Four for mid wall placement is best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four in Corners gives maximum output, for third place, but four against mid walls are the smoothest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Been experimenting with different crossover points. I'm really liking 120Hz for music. These THTs work incredibly well with kick drums and bass guitar. Just crazy output. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the rising response of the cabinet and great sound it's easy to get carried away crossing them over too high. Glad you like them.

charok Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 i added a 30" wide THT to my kpt-904/k510 setup and first fired up tonight. Have not yet begun optimization but the output is impressive and makes my old 15" sub anemic, all in a good way of course! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually I'll get a miniDSP and all that jazz. I have the sub output as low as it goes on my receiver (-10dB) and the gain about 2/3 of the way up on my amp so I definitely have a bit of headroom to play with!

charok Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I use a DBX Venu360 on the mains and the sub feed but it is set to the old sub until I get time to play with the RTA. Using the old sub plate amp to get an idea of how much power I actually need and TBH does not seem to need a lot. Going to be fun dialing it in but so far I love it. The wife however is not happy with the size of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I read that they have a sensitivity of about 110dB so they definitely don't need much power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Watching the pod race on Star Wars Phantom Menace right now. I'm at -20dB volume on my receiver and am just amazed at what these THTs can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I hope to affix panel 5 (of 10) and cut the speaker baffle. It is my first speaker build. I've found the build instructions to be excellent. Even though I'm just an average woodworker, I'm optimistic that I'll be successful with the project. The adhesive only cures above 19 degrees F so that I'm in a race to see if I can finish the build (in my unheated garage) before the cold weather really sets in. I've actually ordered the parts for 2 THTLPs, but building the second one will have to wait for spring when the weather warms up. Will the results be worth the effort?

Tarheel TJ Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I run a THT with my setup. You are right, the output and depth is very impressive. I have considered building a second one, but they are huge. I could fit one, but it would take up space that I'm not sure I want to give up. Maybe when the kids are grown.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
