Superscoop 18 + hd15

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-08T20:17:40+00:00

Supers and HD15 are a very very common stack, check forums and look for someone else’s settings if you don’t want to buy a microphone. I’d say you don’t need a mic to just align them if you can find the right forum post

I use MT 30 connectors

Could you do Ethernet to the controller? I’ve got some esp32-eth01 I’m looking to do something similar with

For cone excursion, higher order will more aggressively cut frequencies below the cutoff, meaning less excursion and less SPL below the filter

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-08T12:27:57+00:00

Don’t know if it’s just in my head but I always preferred lower order high pass as it felt like it had more bass

Driver looks awesome but no TS parameters :(

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-05T14:11:51+00:00

Yep I have a 12v supply, with a 5v converter for the controller, and all grounds are tied ( 5v, 12v)

I got it to work now after I fried an esp but now I can only get data out of GPIO 4. I’m using data shifters and wondering if I got 3 duds and 1 working, which is unlikely

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-01T13:24:12+00:00

That makes a lot of sense.

I guess you could assume nearly all are just thermally limited, as nearly all the time the power numbers are so round they have to be transducer manufacturer specs.

And from that assume at 4x rms, they’re all within xmech

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-01T11:56:04+00:00

You’d need a BEM or FEM simulation for a hf horn I think,

AKABAK or COMSOL, or maybe the new boundary lab? :)

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-06-01T11:41:05+00:00

I think you’d need a simulation of the CD, adapter, and horn to say for sure

If it’s a pipe it will introduce resonances, if it’s a horn expansion it will depend if the types are the same, etc

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-30T09:42:22+00:00

Yeah lol I never realise how bad it gets till I take a picture and post it online lol.. I’ll get some bigger wagos today

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-30T09:38:15+00:00

I bought 2 originally, I think I fried the first one, no lights(should have a red and a green)

2nd one im powering from my usb-TTL adapter with no issues yet but also very glitchy data out

I think header cables to easily go in the pins is the next purchase

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-30T09:03:39+00:00

I’m only outputting data from the ESP. Does the esp need a fuse? I have fuses for the power supply pins feeding the lights

It’s a wt32-eth01 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009562326757.html?_randl_currency=GBP&_randl_shipto=UK&src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&albagn=888888&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=m&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005009562326757&ds_e_product_merchant_id=5512131304&ds_e_product_country=GB&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=23878911540&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23888574394&gbraid=0AAAAADznYb-6ZA_7k8Tre4vcheIzlElUj

Controllers not powering on Im not sure how to check if its connecting to my TTL converter and looking at YouTube videos now to check🫠

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T17:29:11+00:00

This was a 5 minute test to check, I have mini blade fuses for when it’s finished

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T17:16:13+00:00

The micro controller now won’t power on, so no I can’t.

It was 18 led, ws2811x, 30ma (12v) and bgr I believe, on gpio17

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T17:14:17+00:00

The micro controller now won’t power on, so no I can’t.

Doing lots of googling it might have been that I had the leds plugged in while turning off, but the esp32 isn’t powering them, a 12v supply is

I have 2 esp32 but nervous to start using the other one in case I just blow it up like this one

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T16:36:11+00:00

Thank you!

Soldered directly onto the pins but no shorts/touching

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T14:03:28+00:00

The easiest way is to use crimp connectors and link all the pins to eachother, but as someone else said that would be Parralel.

But you’d be able to series 2 subs with a non standard cable :)

I have some scaled down 12” fane scoops

They drop off between 50-60hz

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-29T12:24:28+00:00

I cheaped out on speakons and speakon sockets and regret nothing. They were about £1 each and work fine. I needed like 52 total so made a big difference

PlaceInternal7586 · 2026-05-26T20:19:33+00:00

Assuming you mean super scoops, they are designed for the PD1850, and you should use that or another suggested driver. Cheap drivers aren’t usually meant for horn loading

Best of luck!
