"Raiders of the Lost Breezeblocks" a JBL 4645 LFE.1 experiment.
Had this rather interesting conversation with mate (down under) that says this technique has been down once before back in 1990 and much to my surprise I think it’s a wonder solution to tighten up the sub bass and give it a fast attack.
So here’s the deal I’ll grab a few more breezeblocks in a jiffy for an LFE.1 experiment in the morning as its too late here right now! I’ll need x3 for the task one for each end and one for the middle.
I won’t just go right into it I’d first test it out without the (breezeblocks) make notes of it, the way it feels! SPL db notes would be a little pointless as the unit will only be off the floor be as much as 4” but still I’ll take SPL db readings to use as guide reference.
Also I’ll plug the lead into the SPL db metres output and take RTA readings before and after.
While it may have improved the sub bass extension with tighter low end response and faster attack as that is what I noticed and I’ve had the darn thing in that position time and time again with the same thing having to turn it down slightly due to the sound waves vibrating the floorboards directly beneath the sub bass driver. That’s it beneath “What Lies Beneath” I haven’t tried that one out that’s got awesome low end that is supported over the range of channels mostly the threes-screen like when Norman puts his wife in the bathtub and the water level is rising above the overflow pipe with deep low end!
One other minor change I’d have to make is to the height of the JBL Control 5 right channel it’s going to up by 4” and I’d have to figurer a way of getting it within a few millimetres.
Okay time to garb a few breezeblocks before someone else garbs.
I kinder feel like Indiana Jones “Raiders of the Lost Breezeblocks.”
Oh yeah I’ll try that scene out with the bolder rolling down the cave.
