Rivernuggets Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks Dennie and Rick! that "Walnut Belle" sure is sweet looking! After my wife helped me bring it into the house, she said, "That's a nice looking speaker." She's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatnoop Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 yes. i've tried and disposed of two different subs located between the left k and the rack. a little more grunt down low would be nice but not required as the illusion is almost perfect as it is.... How did you integrate them into the system? Incorrectly, i'm sure. The lastest try was with a sub 12, set the crossover to about 50 hz if i remember correctly. The bass is wasn't the issue, i just don't like running the signal through the extra crossover before it gets to the khorns, negatively affects mid bass, midrange and highs. It takes something off the mains that i can't deal with.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey Kevin, have you ever tried putting your subs on their side? Mostly just a curiousity thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmondds Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've actually thought about doing that but never tried it yet. Seems to me that it may help, I'll let you know if I ever try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Jhoak, Is there a build thread on your IB sub, or any pics, your system looks nice by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks!!! I'm sorry but no there is not. I built it 10 or more years ago long before I owned a digital camera. It's basically a 18" x 18" x12" box with the drivers mounted facing each other on the 18" x 18" sides and the 18" x 12" opening looking in to the living room. It's mounted in the attic so the opening is a little over 8' off of the floor. I installed a cheapo A/C return grill (painted to match the wall) over the opening. There is a lot of really good info about IB subwoofers at http://ibsubwoofers.proboards.com/index.cgi I should probably warn you though the some (no most) of the guy there are a little "extreme". I have one pair of 15" drivers powered by a 2000 watt amp and I'm pretty sure that it could easilly shake my small house off of it's foundation if I pushed it hard enough.

Moderators dtel Posted July 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2011 this is still the basic setup.... I just really like the way that looks , how does it sound standing by the amps ? It's a different prospective behind the speakers, or a different way to hear the room if everything you hear is a reflection ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2011 Here is a recent pic of my man cave How to they compare to your other big 2 ch speaker sets. ? Cool looking room ! [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
