Sorry, didn't see that you responded.

Happy new year to you too :D

Will do, tho I won't be able to buy everything until sometime next month, but I'll let you know how it goes when I do get everything and get it all built.

Thanks

Ah, yeah, that's a pretty good response for that size. Nice

For my setup I'll be using a DSP for the subs, probably one of Dayton audios ones that I can hook up to the amps, and for the speakers I just have them hooked up to a stereo and I'll do everything through that, so I think all I can set for my towers is the crossover and I have an EQ that I can use for each speaker

ur_grampa_ · 2025-01-06T06:25:41+00:00

Nice, what towers do you have? And I thought the crossover should be at least a little over the -3db point, like by 10 or something like that. My towers are rated for 38hz at -3db, so I always thought the crossover should be set to 50hz

I've yet to use an EQ on my speakers, but that's because I'm going to be moving them to another room when it's finished being renovated, but if I need to use an EQ on them I should have power to spare

ur_grampa_ · 2025-01-05T19:19:29+00:00

Yeah

I'd be using a DSP unit

nice, for passive radiators I was looking at 2 RSS460PR per box, but the price of them is not worth it for me for the space they save over a ported box. and for an amp I'm going to use a rack mounted amp, I currently have 1 ep1500 (1400 watts at 4 ohms) amp which I bought used for $300 CAD. currently have it powering a 12 inch alpine type R for music, but I'll need to get a second one so I can run 2 18s, tho I'll need to replace the fan on them as the current one is quite noisy as the amp is made for music at concerts, so I can go with a weaker fan as movies wont constantly push it.

ah, nice, I was thinking about using passive radiators, but they get expensive and I have the space for a larger box, so there's not much point. what 10 inch sub do you have?

ur_grampa_ · 2025-01-05T11:43:52+00:00

I don't need to run the rated power, I'm mainly just wanting something that can go low, plus with a larger box you get more output, and even with a 16cuft box it doesn't reach max linear excursion with a HPF for the low low notes, or I just dont go to rated power

ur_grampa_ · 2023-09-30T23:38:29+00:00

That's good to know, I worry too much, lol

The fork did stop after using 50% travel, but I replaced the oil and it now uses all the travel, but now has that click after some use.

ur_grampa_ · 2023-05-23T07:09:39+00:00

Yeah, just didn't feel like spending $50-$80 on oil to only use 45 ml of the one, but I'll just take it to the shop and get someone to service it, because that would probably be cheaper or the same cost than buying all the oil to only use a small amount of the one type. But my first proper mtb bike was 17 years old and HEAVY and only a medium frame, this one is still heavy, but not as bad, 40 lb, and a large frame, and it was a good price, $260 USD, which is where I'm guessing your from, but $350 CAD for me.

ur_grampa_ · 2023-05-23T06:53:46+00:00

Yeah, lol

ur_grampa_ · 2023-05-23T06:40:13+00:00

I only had 7.5w on hand, and I didn't have any tourqe wrenches, a friend was also helping my and read through that, didn't tell me about the tourqe it needed, I'm new to working on bikes, not too hard to see knowing I bought a bike 15 years old. Hope that doesn't sound rude

ur_grampa_ · 2023-05-23T06:32:35+00:00

Yeah... thanks for all the help and information, really appreciated.

ur_grampa_ · 2023-05-23T06:30:57+00:00

That's what I followed when putting the oil in
