Here you....
After cuttingit all, just a matter of peel and stick

Here's the trimmed edge, do this to every piece on the edge that goes up against the driver

Then it's just a matter of peeling off the backing...

Do the bottom piece

ZThen the top piece....

Finally slip in the 2 11" pices on the sides

Repeat for the other 44 pieces of no-rez.... or in Rich's case, the other 92 !!
Remember, apply to a clean surface and try and rub down each piece as you apply it with preasure as best you can. The no-rez actually adheres very well.

Puny bass is for weak earthlings! Been very quiet on the east coast. Time for some seismic activity!

I find that my jigsaw does a superb job of cutting the no rez. Scares me less than table saw and cuts all the way through the foam.

Sorry for being a putz if the answer to this question is right in front of me, :

Where can I find some build plans for Triple 12" OB H-Frames?

Not really sure there is a pdf out there for the triples, you can use the lower section of the Super V (dual 12's as a guide) to build your triples from.
If you'd like, feel free to shoot me a PM , I have a .doc file I kept all the measurements/cut lists i used for building the duals and triples... you're welcome to have a copy if you want

Is Reuben still doing the flat packs for the OB Subs?

I have been looking for a Dual H-Frame setup, plans, etc. to figure out cost.

If you are going to build your own and plan to use .75" MDF, laminate the sides, top, and bottom panels, you'll be using close to a full sheet per cabinet.
Shoot Ruben a PM, sure he'll cut you a pair and ship you flat packs, just a matter of time to get them cut

Jay...thanks I did send a PM. No big rush here..... Wanted to talk with "Hal" some more about his build at the CAF, but never got around to tracking him down again...

HAL · « **Reply #128 on:** 2 Sep 2015, 08:55 pm »

DTB300,
Just let me know what your questions are about the servo subs and will try to answer them.

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Well, after a HUGE delay courtasey of USPS

finally wired the 2nd triple and they are both up and playing... now to move them to their new home, that'll be fun

I don't envy you that move. The triple 8 H-frames are heavy enough.

What the heck, man! No comment or comparison to the duals? I want to know what I'm missing.

lokie · « **Reply #132 on:** 7 Sep 2015, 03:20 pm »

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

How bout a quickie BOM?

I may be pulling the trigger on this project before the end of the year.

well..... as one might expect,the duals and the triples sound siilar in the fact they both produce extremely clean, tight, and accurate bass. Both are very fsst and integrate seemlessly with my OB7's. . These subs are so adjustable with the features of the A370PEQ I can't see an issue integrating them with anything. I've paired a set of x ls encores with my duals and they sound great.

the triples offer more... you are moving a 3rd more air so there is more punch/weight behind everything, you definately feel everything more and amazingly enough, it seems even tighter and more defined playing at the same SPL, there seems to be more "ambiance" in the room too.
Along with moving 1/3 more air volume, you are working the drivers less to reach the desired SPL so things are cleaner, the drivers are not working as hard . you'll probably notice this more the louder you play the subs being the duals will have to work that much harder to keep up

I won't be upset in any way switching back to my duals, they are wonderful and the triples are BIG .... well I gues that is relavent right Rich (Mr dual 6x12's

) I am glad i built my duals using the 16 ohm version of the 12" servo woofers, it leavs me an upgrade path if I ever want to build the triples... build new cabines and buy 2 new drivers.

I wouldn't say that going tothe triples would be overkill for anyone, even in my 18' x 12' room they sound great, the OB servo subs just don't seem to overload the room. I am really anxious to hear them up at my buddy's place where they will be in much larger room

BOM...

if i'm assuming right...

6 SW12 16FR's
2 A370PEQ amps
6 sheets no rez
2 sets (M/f) 4 pole spctron connectores
25' red / 25' white OCC solid 16 ga wire
2 sets floor spikes

I've got a cut list for both the duals & the triples I made up for the cabinets built using dados. I can post it if anyone is interested or feel free to PM

I had to ask.

Hmm.. I could build a pair of single cabinets and add them to the mix...

KLH007 · « **Reply #135 on:** 9 Sep 2015, 03:32 am »

I estimate cost of materials only for a pair of triple 12s at $2,100, then add your time.

Yup, and I had to put the triples in my room for a couple days

.... I took them out today and went back to the duals... a little more noticeble than I had originally thought. As I noted above, the accuracy, definition and musicality are very smilar, basically the same, between them, but the "weight" produced by the triples is more apparent than i thought.

007KLH, with everything i listed above, you're closer to $2300 I believe + cost of cabinet material/finishing etc

You'll be happy though

Good job Jay. The triple 12" OB H-frames look great !

I'm sure they must sound awesome.

mresseguie · « **Reply #138 on:** 10 Sep 2015, 04:30 pm »

Hi, Jay.

Those look amazing - I imagine they sound amazing as well. They really dominate your room (or, perhaps, it's because of the different color?). You clearly are highly skilled!

Thanks Michael, Ron.

It's not just the color, although I'm sure that plays a part of it ! They do dominate the room but, they don't over power the room. They are impressive to listen to.
We moved them to their new home yesterday afternoon. Will be going up on the weekend to do some final setup , I'll try to remember to grab my camera and post a shot or two. Eventually they will have the grill frames wrapped in white cloth
