If you can build IKEA furniture, these will be a breeze. H Frame Flat Packs

Replied.

The grills for the two 6x12" servo sub H-Frames arrived. Great packing as usual. Will get them unpacked and start building the 1x12" modules a few at a time.

The grills liberated from the packing.

Any testing on the drivers for the arrays yet Rich ?

Jay,
These are getting the GR-Research OB sub drivers and Rythmik amps. Just starting with the PEQ370 and 6 - 12" drivers, since I have most of that here.

Most of the test sample drivers for line array are at GR-Research for measurements. One more driver sample arrives this week and will be shipped to Texas when available.

Hey Rich
Yeah, I realized the sub towers are using the 12" servo subs, it was the other drivers for the lone array (you'd previously mentioned them) that I was curious about..

jay,
I am waiting for the driver measurement results when Danny has time. I am hoping that the mfg's response plots are close and these are just confirmation of the ones to use.

Unboxing the 1x12" modular H-Frame servo sub flat packs. Came packed three 1x12" modules to a box.

First module sides and center panel glued. Once dried, put the end panels on and start the next one.

First 1x12" H-Frame module gluing completed. Now to let it dry and do the other 5 for this round tomorrow.

I HAL,
I enjoy seeing a step by step building of a kit and/or project.
Thanks for sharing.

Guy13,
Glad you are enjoying the pictures.

Here is the last one. Module glue is dry. Mounting holes for the 12" OB servo sub driver ready to start installation. Now to build 5 more.

HAL · « **Reply #171 on:** 14 Apr 2015, 05:10 pm »

Glued the top cap on the first module for the left channel and drying.

Temporary cabinet stack to show the 3x8" and 3x12" H-Frame servo sub sizes.

That's a great "descriptive" shot Rich. I'm sure it will be handy for some folks trying visualize the differences and make a decision betweenn the two

jay,
Heard the 3x12" H-Frame at both RMAF2013 and at Danny's place last week. Best bass response I have ever heard in a real room.

The two 6x12" servo sub arrays should be on par with the Genesis 1.1 speaker's bass capability. That is my goal.

I've got a pair of dual 12" H fmes tha I absolutely love. After hearing those, my buddy has picked up the parts for a pair of the triple 12's which hopefully I'll be wiring up soon. Really looking orward to listening to those .
I can't imagine how the dual 6x12" OB arrays are going to sound, and if your OB line sources work out.....

Funny how that pic doesn't quite capture how big those cabinets are.

HAL · « **Reply #176 on:** 14 Apr 2015, 09:30 pm »

It is probably the look down angle of the picture where I took it.

Just checked and looks like I can do two 4x12" with the existing A370PEQ amps from the Super-V's. Will have to get another pair of 12" drivers from Danny on order sometime. Will get the HX800 amps with the remaining drivers later.

Captainhemo · « **Reply #177 on:** 14 Apr 2015, 10:22 pm »

Can you parallel 4 of the driver coils together ? That will put you a bit below 2 ohm right ?
Or do you have to series/prallel ?

jay

HAL · « **Reply #178 on:** 14 Apr 2015, 10:25 pm »

These are 16ohm drivers, so four in parallel are 4 ohms. The amp is rated at 4 ohms, so should be good.

I think actually Danny has posted that they are closer to 12ohm , 3 gives you right around 4 ohm, might just want to double check that addig the 4th is not going to drop the impedence too low
