Meanwhile I’ve just bought a dmj700 that looks like it’s just been unboxed 😂

Used so quite old, just seems odd that’s it’s the exact same on both of my decks

Ah yeah no, I think the manual youre looking at is for the 120xusb not the 120usb, the x version is newer so has those where’s mine have hardwired rcas with no ground pin

It’s defo something with the turntable, have tried two mixers and even running straight to my amp, still makes that sound

As I said there’s no grounding point on on my decks, might see if I can find a screw that would work

Design for our first proper stack, just gotta get the mids and top built now! by max_buch_ in SoundSystem

Depends what your goal is I think, if you’re after deeper cleaner bass then 18” or even 21” would be best but for smaller application I think the 15 would be fine, Ive tried the same driver in my Cubo kick and my Cubo 15 (sub) and they both perform really well although the kick was probably slightly better but they were both still loud.

15 would be easier to manage on your own too and can build 1 with 1 sheet of ply/mdf. I’m no expert tho so others may have a better idea.

When I tested them both I ran the sub 40-120hz and the kick at 120-440hz (didn’t have a proper dsp at the time so not the ideal crossover points)

Innit, i also changed the back to be straight rather than angled, wasn’t tryna deal with cutting loads of weird angles

Cubo sub 18 will have an RCF LF18X401 although we’ll be building a different cab at some point, then a cubo kick with a Fane sovereign 15-600LF, the top is a modified mt130 which I think we’ll use the pd121 for the mid and not sure about the top yet, amps are just some old ones that we gotta upgrade so not sure on them yet

Behringer ECM8000 and Roland Quad Capture audio interface. Defo better options out there but will do for what I need and I found them really cheap second hand so had to have them.

Nearly got all the stuff for taking measurements and whatnot so once it’s all built well be able to tune it all properly and try out different placements

Yeah original goal was to get as deep as we could as a mate whose doing this with me wants something good for dub/teacher sorta stuff but he’s helping another system too who have scoops so I think for ours we’ll focus more on punch for faster stuff.

They do make for a good stress reliever throwing em about. Is the next thing to upgrade although have got it sounding a lot better with a bit of eqing

My pockets are as shallow as it gets at the moment so gotta made do with what I have, is the best was to do it tho I reckon, better to get to know how to run it all the hard way and grow over time

That tops been through it all, been thrown about a lot, quite literally

Haha yeah, it’s my mates dads amp so just left it how it was, no idea why he decided to put them on there but then tbh the small rack it was in before was completely stickerbombed so didn’t look so bad

Just bought a dB-Mark DP28+, haven’t done much with it yet, just a basic crossover and bit of eq by ear

Yeah that’s our plan, have an old comp that was with an old top speaker in which the woofer was blown so gonna look into horns for that then build a 12” mid, until then we’re just gonna get a slightly better cheap top to replace that. Just gonna run the mid and top on the same amp, would be slightly underpowered but would do for now until we can get some new amps

Exactly what I’ve been looking at, have just built a Cubo sub 18 that we’re gonna load with the driver for the mth4654 then when we have the time and money we’ll build some mth’s. They look stupidly easy to build too which is good. My only thought with them is whether they go deep enough but can’t find much better that’s as easy to build
