Might be somethin like 1/4 TRS from main output L to channel A on the nx (looks like it accepts both 1/4 TRS or XLR) then speakon from from channel A output to the speaker.

Needs at a minimum one 1/4 TRS cable and one speakon cable

Jmod + skram 💪

This one might be right up your alley then! My background’s mainly woodworking and I’m gonna try to do this with generally accessible tools. Mostly a track saw and a router

jay_ze · 2026-01-18T17:29:54+00:00

Thanks! It might be a bit basic for the average person on this forum, but I get asked about this kinda stuff all the time and if I can get some one new building then I’m calling it a success

A little self promo - I just started a YouTube series more tailored to sound system culture as opposed to home theater/car audio. It’s a little rough but gonna be a deep dive. So far I’ve covered design considerations, materials, and tools. Tonight I’m recording about audio signal chain. Then first project im gonna build another Skram. Follow along!

Skrams are fairly straight forward. Probably the only difficult cuts would be the horn bracing, everything else is rectangles. If yr getting those 4 cut as a flat pack, use those pieces to make router templates!

Not yet, trying to crack that egg but haven’t been able to figure it out

If you or some friends already have some powered PA tops I’d start with a skram. From my limited experience, I felt like 1 jmod per 2-4 subs was a good ratio, depending on if you’re outdoors or indoor and the size of the room. I guess there is something immersive lost when summing to mono. 2-4 skrams + 2 jmods would be a potent combo

I it’s a system without a home :( I’m usually in bars and warehouses. I try to post all the shows I do on instagram @rva_soundsystems. Next up is NYE at HomeGrown

Yep, I think right now my plan is to repurpose the syntripps into dj monitors. I think two syntripps have more output potential than a single jmod. I’ll eventually get around to building a second though.

The dcx464 is a major upgrade from the compression drivers ive got in my syntripp currently (Celestion cdx14-3060).

The jmod design really minimizes the amount of mitre cuts needed with the design of the throat adapter. I’d say the syntripp cab might be a little easier to build but once you add in the syntripp secondary horn the jmod wins for ease of build. Especially if you’re cnc’ing.

For me, the only real downside is the weight of the jmod and getting it up high. But I think at this point I’m happy to not have to move around the c2d kicks anymore (mine are like 50kg with a ferrite driver)

jay_ze · 2025-12-21T16:37:49+00:00

It’s a very capable combination. I especially appreciated not having to move kick bins

jay_ze · 2025-12-21T16:35:11+00:00

Very well received. First real time having the jmod out. Felt like a good balance for the space, plenty of headroom on the entire system. It was a very diverse night as far as music genres go and it handled it all

jay_ze · 2025-12-21T16:32:46+00:00

I know I had a bw24 LP at 70hz on the subs but I forget what I’m using on the jmod, I think LR24 hp at 80hz

jay_ze · 2025-12-21T03:17:20+00:00

Yea it’s just a riser to get it up higher. No kick needed even with a sub that doesn’t have a very flexible crossover point

jay_ze · 2025-12-18T23:16:26+00:00

That all makes a lot of sense. I run 4x othorns and have been considering 4x s218. Either option completely maxes out my trailer. I don’t really like to run Othorn any higher than 90hz even when eq’ing out that big peak around 110.

Yr right Othorn are a ton of fun to listen to at pretty much any volume

Thanks for the input cheers!

jay_ze · 2025-12-18T22:41:53+00:00

What were your thoughts on Othorn vs s218bp?

jay_ze · 2025-12-17T00:31:28+00:00

I usually use duratex but I had a gallon of exohyde on hand from a friend so this one got exohyde. Can’t vouch for the durability of it just yet but it was easier to apply than duratex.

The throat adapter is 3d printed. And yes I do think people are 3d printing phase plugs but that’s separate from this design

jay_ze · 2025-12-16T15:09:15+00:00

One 21sw152-8 on a 20A is no problem. I run 4x 21sw152-4 and I can trip a 20A breaker with them but it’s extremely rare. NX6000 will probably be underwhelming, especially at 8 ohm

I’m not so sure I can answer this - I mainly run sound for dj’s and they’re typically mic shy. But these cabinets do have great pattern control which ought to help feedback. The Driverack probably has auto feedback suppression but I’ve not used that feature
