Rcf 8004x4+Rcf 985x2 vz a folded horn stack

Hi, I’ve got the above system minus 2off 8004’s as off yet. I’ve been reading in Reddit that folded horns mostly go down to 50hz and my 8004’s go down to 30hz. I haven’t had chance to get the system out to test it as of yet. My question is ‘’is it worth getting another set off 8004’s or do I sell up and get folded horns” I want to do small hardtrance events and I want bass you can feel in your chest. As you can tell I’m not very clued up on audio equipment. I’m just a Dj. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recone kit for PD 1845 1N

Hello, after a year of going really hard with our new subs we found out the hard way, that we messed up the routing of the speaker cutout in one of our TH18 subs

As seen on the picture, the sickle (or what is even the correct term for that) is torn. Since I have not found a recone Kit on thomann, I am kinda worried now, so I am asking you if someone could provide us with a link to a compatible recone kit, a place, where I could go and get the driver fixed or a way to fix this ourselves.

We are a handy bunch, so I could imagine us getting it done but well. This isnt exactly a small home hifi chassis.

Thanks in advance, i hope, you can help us!

18” invader subwoofer wiring

Apologies for the noob question in advance, do these need to be wired with inverted polarity?Read that they do but also read that they should be wired normally 😂 I’m fairly confident that they do need to be inverted but just wanted to be sure.

If I run these in the wrong polarity are there any damage risks to drivers or will they just sound bad/not right?

If so is this the case with all folded horn cabs or will this be design specific?

Thanks!

Going on a sound system tour next week attending dub events and meeting sound systems along the route below. Do any of you have an idea where I should go between Munster and Stuttgart?

Do any of you have an idea where I should go between Munster and Stuttgart? Also we haven’t confirmed where we should go in France either. If you have any suggestions let us know. We will be documenting the whole story on Instagram and with a magazine / book at the end so if you want to find out about someone on this route let us know.

Is it possible to buy speaker drivers from china with very high qualities?

For the sake of cost reduction, i want to buy drivers and boards from china but I am afraid if I don’t get a very good outcome. I am in the stage that I want to find somewhere where I can buy drivers and boards for a reasonable price. Any recommendations?

A couple of novice questions.

  1. What does it mean when people say they're "tuning a system"? Especially an already-existing system in a club.

Are they just checking for resonances in the room and applying an EQ? Or something else?

  1. Is it realistic to build 2 18" hog scoops out of MDF on my own, assuming I have the time, money, and motivation? Or should I start smaller?

16a or 32a for High Power amp

I am using an Admark 442 DSP on 2 dual 18 subs (1700w aes on each driver). When pushing 2 out of the 4 available channels, the amp goes in protect at 3 db gain. If I increase my power to 32A, will I be able to run all 4 subs on the amplifier?

One sub: 3400 aes 4 ohm Amplifier: 4 channel 4 x 7200w in 4 ohm (tested power is roughly 5800w and not 7200w)

12" Paraflex C-2D kickbin

Hi there,

Does anyone have any plans for the 12" paraflex C-2D? They are supposed to be out there but cant seem to find them on the speakerplans forum and I am not on facebook. There are some youtube videos and random pics i can find that offer some dimensions. I could always give it a shot with those but would prefer some proper plans tbh. Thanks!

Generator needs for live event

Hello, I will host a live music festival next month at a park district park with the following equipment. Will two 3000watt inverter generators be enough power? There will be 8 bands playing for a total of 6 hours, and I will be renting electric generators. I am on a budget and am looking to rent two Honda EV3000is generators from Home Depot for the day. The event needs to be able to reach loud volumes! My main concern is having the generators fail.

(2) Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - 180w each

Fender Rumble 100w - 310w max/50w tyoical

X Air 18 - 30w

(2) QSC K12 Mains - 120 VAC, 1.9 A

(2) QSC KS112 Subs - 120 VAC, 2.0 A

12" plans???

Hi there can anyone recommend any 12" mid plans?

Looking online majority is cubo kicks etc but am looking for more midrange than kick bass.

Looking to put ontop of kicks and under some peavy tops as I have a spare pair of fane 12s so thought I may as well use em. I have seen a dual plan online but aside form that nothing so wondering if i am missing something?
