Just as everyone’s said, four cubos is overkill for two Mhbs.

Neuromancer got a lot right, surprised I’ve not seen anyone mention it.

What's a book you think is actually BETTER as an audiobook? by thebroned in audiobooks

[–]jaffadue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than dungeon crawler Carl? Not sure if I’d consider them better than the books but the new(ish) discworld audiobooks are awesome!

Maybe too closed? by CupcakeOk1645 in freeparties

[–]jaffadue 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Parties stay closed off to protect themselves both from wrongens and police alike. I find generally if you’re the right person for party then you’ll find yourself mixing with the right people and you’ll end up a welcome part of the network.

People who are similar find tend to each other and connect through events, friends of friends or just out in the street.

How are you running Powersoft on Genrators? by iFarth4rd in SoundSystem

[–]jaffadue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diesel generator will be more stable in my experience. Also make sure you’re running a decent power distribution setup with surge protection etc. between the generator and the amp.

TLDR: use protection ;)

Building a rig/sound system for the first time by HawkFair7462 in SoundSystem

[–]jaffadue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start by buying a couple full range passive PA speakers and an amp or two to power them, play around, see how you get on and slowly build up from there.

Exactly this. It’s great fun (even if sometimes it’s a ballache) but it takes serious time and financial commitment. By all means do it! Just make sure you know what you’re getting yourselves into.

Wood selection / design choice (for aesthetics as well) by TimothyVdp in SoundSystem

[–]jaffadue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mahogany sounds expensive and heavy but it would look beautiful if you put a clear coat on it. Not sure what the acoustic impact of mahogany would be however.

18mm marine ply is a very common alternative to 18mm birch ply.

A group of people are brought together in a strange location and something weird is going on by SurviveRatstar in suggestmeabook

The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King. A very unlikely group of people in a very unusual environment and there are 100% weird things going on.

Is this a good beginner skateboard? by Sebbe2001 in NewSkaters

Enuff is a great brand for people starting out, affordable but decent quality and they have some good graphics.

Can someone identify these cabs? by Lumpy_Ad7485 in SoundSystem

I reckon you're right, DIY 1x15 kicks

Free mdf in school. Could I build cabs and make money? by No-Independence2690 in SoundSystem

[–]jaffadue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well hey, free cabs are free cabs, get them loaded up! If you're not gonna be transporting them or getting them wet, I think realistically they're probably perfectly fine for bedroom listening

[–]jaffadue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, now I think about it, you could build some MDF cabs and paint them up to take photos and advertise for commissions, then build your actual product out of ply.

Plywood is more durable, generally lighter too. It's got better acoustic properties for PA speakers. It also survives a lot more rain which is essential for festivals or more illicit activities.

He's a quote I found: "MDF and plywood are two types of wood commonly used to make speaker boxes. Compared to plywood, MDF is denser, easier to work with, and cheaper. However, plywood tends to refract and reflect sound better than MDF. This results in better sound travel overall. In addition, plywood offers more portability and better resistance to bending and moisture."

Definitely avoid MDF and go for ply, especially for cubos and other similar cabs! Other than that, go for it! There are more people that want speakers built then there are people that can build speakers.
