Line Array Build Progress - **PICS**

[brandontw 10+ year member]

Well this project was a little more than i bargained for i guess, but finally i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have had a hard time geting around to working on it with working and school full time, but christmas break has given me a chance to get a bit more done. I got one speaker all wired up and ready to seal up and paint. I tested it to make sure all of the speakers were working and they were.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif Wow, i can tell these are going to be impressive, and they werent even in an enclosure, just a panel of speakers.

I finally got a decent digicam that wasnt made by retarded possums, so here are a few pics of the project... enjoy.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Those look like NSB's. They have a rms of 5 watts, but thylantyr is putting 3600wrms to each tower on his line array w/ NSB's. From what I understand too, you need to chamfer the edge on the inside of the hole for the driver (If that made any sense). Looks good though man!!!

^^ Roundover or 45 degree chamfer bit is a must.

You are crazy end of story. Yet that is really cool.

Do an outside test first, to see the power of an array. Stand up the arrays

in the garage and aim them towards the street and walk across as far as

you can, be amazed like deer in headlights. .......... ** looks around for cops **

I did this and tortured the folks and the cops came.... /hehe

LOL thanks for the compliments and stuff.

The speakers are about 6'8" tall, so yes, they will command quite a bit of attention in the room, but they will still only take up a little more than a square foot of floor space, so i dont know what yall are tripping about with the "what house are those gonna fit in" stuff.. they will fit just like any other floor speakers.

Like people said, those are nsb's, so they are 5 watts per speak, so the speakers will have pleny of power handling. The mids are arranged in a "4 sets of four arranged in series" pattern so the final load is 8 ohms, and the tweet is 8 ohms and the crossover is arranged as such that the load of the speaks will be 8 ohms.

I will be using a Harmon Kardon HK3470 and a Parasound HCA1500A to power em, and I have a dayton 12" powered sub to take up the rest of the low end.

Any other questions?

Two sets they play, the mellow set and the metal thrashing set.

Give the line array a work out before throwing in Slayer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
