vxds11 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ha! awesome. Yeah, those 12s are for the nearfield midbass. I had 4 in pristine condition, so what the hell, they can join the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vxds11 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Fp14k yes, A14k unfortunately no. The honeydo list became outta control for the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgage Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I take it a 14K isn't an option? Pretty sure that would result in flambé SI HT-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxds11 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Flame broiled driver to go. I'd ask my guess if they'd like fries with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgage Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm pretty good with flame broiled drivers, need to work on the accompaniments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaeel Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well you can set the VPL's for that. Don't see why anyone wouldn't spend a little more for an amp with a warranty and known roll-off specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxds11 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I hear ya man. I tried that argument a few times and won. But damn it, it's not working anymore. I just might do it anyways. YOLO! As the yougins would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaeel Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hahaha yah Dom I'm not trying to be a dick. I thought many times of getting a clone. If I needed one when Rob offered to check em out first beforehand then maybe I would've gone that route. I know a lot of guys had no problems with them but then there are some who did. You won't need to buy another amp again that's for sure. Even with a budget, we all got em, it's not THAT much more and you get a warranty and upgraded components. Dave never gave the specs on the upgrades I believe, but he did it for a reason. You are building your subs with an amazing attention to detail and making sure everything is just right. Don't you want to power them with an amp from someone who has the same thought process in equipment that's not even his? I don't want you to get in trouble with the wife but peace of mind to me is worth it. Not to mention the roll-off is known on Dave's amps. If you're going sealed for the single digits that is one of the most important specs. BUY THE DAMN THING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxds11 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 LOL! Dude, you're not even close to being a dick about it. I just see one basshead trying to help another make the right decision If there's one person who I know that can help square me away is Paul. I hope he knows I'm gonna need his help.

Madaeel Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yah man Paul is a mad scientist. When I visited them for the gtg I didn't see him cept for dinner and late night Digiorno snacks haha. That whole time he was cooking up the Dash-V. Plus he is the king of measurements! He always tries to make me feel better about being PC dumb too so I know he'll take good care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredhead Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm happy to help V. I'm busy as nuts right now though. Let me get back to you Sunday. You are for sure using the HT18's and you have 4 of them in 2 DO cabs 9.9 cubes each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxds11 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Awesome man, thanks. I really appreciate it. Yes, 4 HT18s (DO 9.9 cubes each) & 4 Assassin 12s (DO 2 cubes each). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredhead Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 V, have you run any subs in the room in question before and if so do you have any LP freq response graphs to give me an idea of what the room will do? I assume you have a mic to measure room response with for tweaking whatever option you go with? Do you also have an interface/soundcard with in's/out's?

vxds11 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Nil, nada, zip on all of the above. Remodeled room that had ported years ago with no measurements or graphs. I still have to pick up measurement gear from Cross Spectrum, and I have no interface/soundcard with in's/out's, so starting from scratch here.

Ricci Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Some of the Tascam interfaces are good for the money. The US-144mkii can be found quite cheap as an open box sometimes. Edirol is another popular brand. Presonus is decent. I'd stay away from Behringer for an interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxds11 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks Josh I assume I will need a soundcard for SpecLab, REW and such and did budget it in the build. I would like love to contribute to the forum with some SL caps when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edirol is another popular brand. Presonus is decent. I'd stay away from Behringer for an interface. I'm very happy with the "inexpensive" interface I picked up in the Focusrite 2i2. I actually use that much more than pulling out my expensive Motu 1248. Highly recommend the Focusrite 2i2. Drivers have just worked with Windows 8, 10. Measurements are the same as my Motu 1248 when using Earthworks 30/50 measurement microphones. It gets my vote. EDIT: And for Speclab, this is a USB powered, quick interface to setup so it would definitely be my go to for that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
