Mike's DIY 13av.2 PR subwoofer

[mike c]

cool keep us posted. what finish are you planning on using for the wood?

at first i was thinking stainless steel ... but i'm guessing that would be too shiny and expensive.

now, i'm thinking automotive paint - "hot rod red"?

but the finish will have to wait ... i have too many unexpected financial things going on right now

Hey Mike, just catching up on this.... Looks like the Passive I sent you wasn't glued properly... thats not cool at all... did you get that sorted out...

I would have found that problem myself if I had used them in a build...

I'm sorry, I never saw that... they never left the box except for pictures...

How is it coming... ?

"Looks like the First Ironman suit" Good one...

yeah, no fault of yours. you couldn't have known. i'm thinking i got them all by now (ill try test tones when i get the chance, because it would seem that the active driver is doing all the work). the other guy who bought the other PR i think has the same thing going on.

 

[mike c]

i think im online

racing weights

Sweet buddy..... Looking good....

I told you that Passive would be way more then enough for the 13av.2....
Its hardly even moving eh.... Those are meant to be used 1 to 1 for 18" LMS-5400 for 20hz tune... The LMS has much more excursion and its also far more surface area...

I'm glad you got it all sorted out partner !!!! Thats so awesome...


How is the sound.... tight, clean? Give us a mini review on the SQ...

 

[armstrr]

did this thread die?

 

[mike c]

did this thread die?

yeah it did

the build died as well ... i sold the active driver a few weeks ago (because i did not want to see eD in my house)

i bought some fish with the money. (i spent more on the fish btw)

 

[Djizasse]

Those look delicious....

I love seafood....

Fish only go down to 72hz. That is nowhere near good enough for you Mike...

 

[Adam]

Someone has to do it. Forgive me...

 

[jamie2112]

That is a midbass fish that one only does 87hz.......

Fish only go down to 72hz. That is nowhere near good enough for you Mike...

Some can go as low as 63hz, but I don't think Mike is equipped to handle whale sharks.

 

[mike c]

i guess i was asking for it, posting pics of my fish

 

[phlakvest]

RTFM.
It clearly states it goes down to 63hz +/-2dB. Most comprable fish are rated using +/-3dB. That fish is actually usable down to 58hz.
But the manual is a bit fuzzy about the surroundings with the test. I assume they are testing in saltwater but they could be using fresh water for a brief second to skew their results.

I hope no one around you could hear you play those.

I'm not gonna lie, that first video has some pretty terrible bass. It makes my ears sad.

I'm pretty sure you can't make rap music sound any worse no matter how you record or listen to it.

Zing.

agreed. lots of distortion. but, it could have been the camera mic.

 

[mike c]

distortion is from the camera mic.
