Nice. I love my Rythmik 12". But I got it way back when Brian didn't offer turn key subs.

The casters were the wrong size. New ones on order - coming tomorrow. Sorry for the delay... I need to get them in place correctly before I can do much. I've been using my time wisely. I just finished adding trigger lines to the XLR cables: Trigger lines on XLR cables? ...can you please explain, I'm intrigued  Are you pulsing a 12v trigger signal into the input to activate an auto-power on? |

No, I think he is simply bundling the cables together with zip ties.

Damn! - I was hoping there might be a clever solution rather than waiting for subs to receive enough signal before turning on... Yes, they are trigger lines to the subs. I just used ties to keep the clutter down. Trigger chain is: XSP-1 -> XDA-2 -> XPA-1L -> XPA-1L -> DIY Trigger Box Expander -> (Fans & Subs) I wanted to avoid the XPA-1Ls and the subs coming on together. |

My casters arrived last night at 8:00PM via UPS. Kinda late in the day. I got the stacks in place this morning, but gotta break for Turkey Day. Not to blow my own horn, but it's an impressive tower of power!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

Very nice Chuck. Those subs are "end game" subs IMO. Congrats man, and enjoy! Please post a review once you have had time to put them through their paces. |

Kinda followed your example, Chuck. Just pulled the trigger on a pair of subs to use as speaker stands for my DIY MTMs. Went with the Dayton Reference HF 12" 4-ohm woofers, though. John Krutke (Zaph Audio) praised them for their low distortion. They'll be mated with Bash 300W plate amps in Dayton 2ft^2 cabs (sealed), basically per Zaph's design.

First thing was to check the main speaker roll-off with REW. Looks like 60Hz is a good point. Now to dial in the XSP-1 high pass to 60Hz and re-measure.  |

Ok, next up was to set the XSP-1 high-pass to 60Hz. Boy is that pot touchy. Measurement was taken into the UCA222 and not the UMIK-1 microphone. Note that I'm using heavy smoothing and the dB level doesn't matter. I just wanted to adjust 60HZ to -3dB.  I now remeasured the mains with the UMIK-1 and seem to achieved what I wanted.  Purple - XSP-1 hi pass Red - Original mains sweep Blue - Combined (Looks pretty close to 24dB slope) Again, note that I'm using heavy smoothing and the dB level doesn't matter. I just want to see slope and relative dB values within one trace. I'm no wiz with REW, but I'm getting better. |

I haven't seen Zaph's design but I hope it has a separate chamber for the plate amp, a couple of Bash's I've used rattled noticeably. Cheers Gary |

I haven't seen Zaph's design but I hope it has a separate chamber for the plate amp, a couple of Bash's I've used rattled noticeably.Gary I have BASH amps in 2 other subs, one a DIY 15" Bravox in a ported box, and have heard no rattling with either. I like the un-enclosed amps because they do not appreciably reduce the internal volume of the box. SVS uses un-enclosed amps in their subs. Zaph's design is here: zaphaudio.com/archives.htmlScroll down the page. The link is to a ZIP file for the design. Zaph used a 500W amp, but I think that's overkill. I don't plan to rattle the house with those subs. They'll be for music only. |

I am wondering for reference purposes where on the hp pot location (position) you dialed in your 60Hz crossover setting?
