I was joking...these kids are such a pain in the ass...I just hope it's not virtual class again this year. Trying to do online learning with a kindergartner that can't read was absolutely asinine.Jealous? Nah. Well, maybe a bit. But I can crank my shit up any time I want!
I know. Well here's hoping...
Im blaming you for talking me into this thing! It better sound good! Lol.$60 for the box
$150 for the speaker (amplified parts.com)
Get yourself a used rack amp and you got a REALLY great sounding budget FRFR solution. I still recommend running two of these in stereo.
Great job
For grab and go you want a full range plate amp. Kind of pricey for the wattage you need. I have all kinds of room in my rack since I sold everything when I bought my axefx3. Here's a post from fractalaudio about powering this speaker Click here
That sounds like a Sweetwater price. Send them a link of the $150 price and they will do an adjustment.
Well done!!!!
Thanks! Just fired off an email. I'll update what they come back with.
If by "fit," you mean installing in into the cab? If so, I'd wonder if doing so would affect the sound of the cab. If you do it, please let us know how it works out.
I got mine for that on Amazon thinking I could return it if I hated it. Since it sounded pretty good in an open back cabinet and using a bass amp (the direct in), I decided to build the cabinet.
I just found a cheap but powerful Behringer rack amp. I dont know if I am going to hack the cabinet up for it vs wait to find a plate amp used (like the matrix gm50). I may modify the rack amp into a plate amp or just add a rack mount to the side of the cab for nowā¦ need to figure out handles, input jack, feet, and if I want to tolex etcā¦
How did you attach the port to the wood?
Awesome man. Play with it for a while then A/B it against your headrush. Especially at higher volumes. I won't be playing through my Headrush again. Lol
I attached the port using wood filler. Not sure that is the right stuff, but I had it.
Can you describe what you mean about setting the resonant frequency at 75?
Changing the port length will change the bass response. Guys that build bass reflex boxes (which is what this is) will alot of times use adjustable length ports to "tune" their boxes. Subs like some SVS cylinders actually have multiple ports and come with plugs to select the different "tuning". I just followed the print. I trust celestion did all the testing and tuning when they designed it.
Very interesting - I am reading up on this now. I donāt understand what setting the amp block speaker resonance does (need it dumbed down) practically speaking. I will try and mess with it tomorrow.
Seemed to tighten it up for me...I don't usually mess with all the parameters I don't understand but Leon todd did a video about setting the low resonant frequency for a regular guitar cab. When I read celestions spec sheet at 75 I figured best to match their specs. Let me know if you find anything else out.
