    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    You got lucky. My attempt was to replace woofers for some jbl l36 speakers cause the surrounds rotted. This was around 1983 and the only available drivers were from Radio Shack. You can imagine how that worked out. Not the selection we have today. Btw, Parts Express has always ponied up some...

    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    Thanks Bogey. You've done some awesome work on this. I'm gonna look at the vented details you laid out as it would go better with how it would be used.

    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    Thanks for your help. I think I'll go with a sealed design and as I have 4 of them I can make a nice little cab for them and I don't plan on using it for much more than an outdoor get together with family and work buds. Thanks so much for all the insight and help.

    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    Thanks so much. The 2.8 cu ft idea sounds great. If it's possible to use 2- 3" diameter ports, how long would they need to be to tune for 40 hz. Power will be no more than 200 watts.

    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    Thanks for the reply. A stamp on side of the magnet reads Made in USA by Eminence. A possible part # is 101329. Tech support at Eminence gave me parameters but would not calculate or reveal who they were made for. As follows: Re=5.54 ohms , Le=1.28mh, Qms=5.50, Qes=0.50, Qts=0.46, Xmax=6.2mm...

    Need help with 2-10 speaker design.

    I have 4 Eminence 10" speakers with manufacturer parameters but have no computer to do the calculations. If I were to provide the parameters ,could someone calculate box size and tuning for an optimum 2-10 box size? Tried with my phone for at least winISD but my phone doesn't support it. Any...

    Improving tone of Sterling SUB Ray4 Bass

    Agreed. Try every adjustment w/ the bass and treble that you can. I hated mine at first but found that it cuts through without being unruly if you try enough. Tone is in the hands.

    how many played bass clef instrument before bass?

    Started out playing Bb clarinet in junior high. Director urged me toward alto, bass, contrabass clarinets and baritone saxophone. Never learned bass clef till later. I have always been able to play by ear.

    Ampeg b-2 4x8..150.00. Should I buy?

    Had one of those and liked it unless I ran a standard tuned 5 string through it. But with a 4 it was pretty nice. Guess an HP filter would come in handy. Just sayin'.

    BAM200 with 3 cabs!

    I do know that three 16 ohm cabs would net a parallel load of 5.5 ohms approximately so the bam could handle that but I wouldn't push anything under 4 ohms with it. You got lucky. Just stick to 2 cabs maybe for now,......

    Yamaha PB 1 or Roland SIP 301

    Go with the PB-1! Trust me. They are almost bullet proof and can get pretty much any sound you want. Gotta be tweaked a bit eq wise but they don't lie.

    are YGD (Yamaha Guitar Development) pickups available aftermarket?

    I would venture to say no. Yamaha is very proprietary.
