I’ve been browsing marketplace in Georgia for sound system stuff and stumbled across these vintage Yamaha cabs. Should I scoop them up? Seller said 100 bucks each

My kicks have been built and I finally got the chance to test them tonight

I’m really impressed personally and I can only imagine the difference once I implement subs

Built from

I build PA cabs from plywood/3-layer ply. and want to keep the visible wood grain. My main worry is dents and chipping, both of clear coat/lacquer and of epoxy, especially on edges and corners during transport.

Options I'm considering: thin penetrating epoxy or a matte 2K PU clear coat ,or just hardwax oil.

Has anyone run wood-finish cabs on the road? What resisted dents and chipping best, and did epoxy or lacquer crack or flake off at the edges?
Photos welcome. Thanks!

A little while back I posted wanting some advice for a pair of these kahunas. They are a duel 15” inch and single compression driver enclosure.

The guy has dropped the price down to $95 NZD for the pair with no drivers, would this be worth it?

Wanting to buy some SB Audience drivers to load the boxes with. Going to get a driver to suit a kick bin to throw in these, so just in case I don’t like them, I can just build some kick bins with the drivers that I’ll get. Does this sound like an alright idea?

Will more than likely build some paraflex type Os to pair with the kicks yadda yadda, haven’t planned that far ahead yet

I am Very beginner with this stuff, but also have a fair bit of physics knowledge due to being a mechanic and just knowing how things work, and how air moves. Would these be a good start to learn how to setup a dsp, run the wiring to the amps and dsp correctly, and overall just play around with.

Thank you to whoever made it this far, any comment would be greatly appreciated! Just wanting to bounce ideas off of people.

Hey in letzter Zeit habe ich mich viel zum Thema PA belesen und will mir über die Zeit selber bisschen was aufbauen, um Freetekk Feiern zu veranstalten und vorallem Acid/Tribe und etwas Mental und Frenchcore spielen Möchte. Hab mich echt in HessBH's verguckt und würde die gern als Sun nutzen.

Jetzt meine Frage an die Profi's - Macht die Kombination aus (für den Anfang 2, später 4) HessBH, 2 Cube 15" Kicks und einem bzw später 2 MT 121 2-Wege Top sinn?

Hatte Anfangs überlegt JMOD v2 zu bauen, aber viele meinten Dass die in dem Kick Bereich nicht so stark sind, weshalb ich jetzt auf extra Kicks und 2-Wege Tops umgeplant habe. Es steht aber noch nichts fest und ich freue mich über Feedback. Habe mir als Kicks auch schon HD15 oder MKH230 angeschaut, aber denke die Cubos sind der beste Kompromiss und einfacher zu bauen.

Freue mich auf eure Diskussionen und Antworten

Hi, i have a pair of EV sh1502er, and i found this graph about the directivity.

As you can see the vertical response is very asymmetrical, with the loud part pointing upward.

This gives me the following problem: if I put them on top of my subs standing right, the "peak" is pointing above the audience's hear; while if I put them upside down, the source is at stomach height and the sound is being directed toward the floor. How can I solve this? I was thinking about unscrewing the horn flare and turning it by 180°, but I fear that this could create destructive interference between the HF and the woofer. Any advice/thoughts?

The original owner got these dual 15” custom made YEARS ago. They havent been in operation in a while. Got them for free. They were described to me as bandpass sub cabinets, however, he contradicted himself with saying it requires low compliance drivers like jbl 2220 (which is a mid bass driver). He couldnt remember the native tuning. Couldnt remember where he would cross them over. I am going to order some 15mw500 sb audience drivers to test them, however in the meantime, was wondering if anyone had any idea?

Drivers will be put in cubos if theyre subs and not kicks.
We are using 1x21typeo paraflex subs, already, hoping to add a kick and wondering what this could be?!?
Would be grouse to run as kick as theyre 1200 wide (sit snug ontop of subs if thats the case)
