    Popping issues in tweeter, ampeg 6x10

    You know I haven't checked another amp. Ill try that next. I have already tried a new tweeter and it did the same thing so I don't believe its the tweeter. I did change cables also. No change.

    Popping issues in tweeter, ampeg 6x10

    I can only assume its in the xover or Lpad. I changed the tweeter and still have the same issue. Before I go rebuilding components or changing Lpad, could someone give me their opinion. The tweeter makes a very static like sound. Obviously it goes away when Lpad is turned down. Thanks

    Acoustic B600H Problems

    did anyone find a solution to this? Im having the same problem. Found a relay right before the output that was acting up. Bypassed it. Now it just hums. No sound. Pre amp works fine. Bypassed it already. Power supply?

    Can't blow a speaker by under powering it.......

    Electronic devices don't "draw anything" they simply "allow" it. Thus in speaker cabinets, they cannot "allow" anymore than the wattage rating. So as in a 50 watt head on a 400 watt cab, that happens all the time. Or close to it. Old school Marshall electric guitar amps. Say a 50 watt plexi...

    10's or 15's

    I know a lot of players on this forum have different tastes in tone. Since I'm new to bass and bass tone, I'd like to get some ideas from others as far as a bass rig. I understand that 10" drivers can produce as much low end as 15's. I understand the only thing that changes is the SPL...

    Lets talk about crossovers that ive been using.

    Haven't learned how to build my own crossovers yet. I've been buying Dayton audio crossovers. I use them in small pa cabs and bass cabs that I include an eminence ASD 1001. Now I'm completely new to crossovers so any response would be appreciated if you spoke it in "moron" ha ha. Anyway....what...

    Help with some port tuning

    Tried this post once it didn't work. Hey will. What would you think of the beta 10's in a sealed 8x10 with a tweeter. We're going for a punchy bass tone. Maybe a little twang. Kinda like a pop rock/punk tone. A little mid rangey. Would this setup be versatile for other genres?

    Help with some port tuning

    Well I was kinda modeling a 2x10 that i saw. The 2x10 had only 1 port so I was just trying to get a good response with just 1 port. Solely for learning purposes. I'm using eminence beta 10.

    Help with some port tuning

    Here's a photo of what I'd like. The yellow is the vented (obviously) and the closed is the red. I like the vented graph but the port size it's telling me I need is 7 inch diameter. I could build this with rectangle ports but that adds to construction time and material. I want to figure out the...

    Help with some port tuning

    Thanks Will33. You're always very helpful. I have been messing with my design and I have adjusted it to get a pretty nice smooth response with a rolloff where I want. I was only curious because it was saying my port tuning was something rediculous like 10-15 hz. I mean plot looks good...
