    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    Yes, they are intended to be sculpted out of dense foam. Their purpose is to prevent premature horn expansion. and keep the corner smooth. The smaller of the two is probably not needed (I didn't use it in mine). Rather than dense foam, I used PVC and expanding foam in mine, and others have used...

    15" mid/low mid horn driver suggestions to pair with ME 464

    I think 14NDL88 is the way to go, personally.

    DigiCo shut down - need insight from regular users.

    To answer the OP's question... DiGiCo support's first step has essentially always been to load a new clean show file before starting trouble shooting. Apparently, there's also ways where if you saved a corrupted show file and then loaded it, issues can still persist. Very annoying. That said...

    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    It's been a long time since we looked into alternate drivers for this horn. On one hand, the 405 offers a significant increase in power handling (~2 dB), however one of the critical parameters for how the horn performs in the effective moving mass (Mms). I would suggest simulating the two in...

    [WTB] PLM20000Q (or similar)

    I'm in the market for a high performance, 4 channel amplifier with DSP. Must either have mesa-eq style utility or FIR. The PLM200000Q used to be readily available a while ago but has sorta dried up so I figured I'd ask around here. I could probably live with something like a Linea Research 44M20...

    That should be correct, but the 60 degree horn is questionable

    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    In all honesty, I'm going to end up either using yours or making my own this winter. I intend to build four of them. I might rev the design to accommodate the DCX while I'm at it.

    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    I suppose I may have just gotten used to the error and correction factors for the port styles that I often use. I don't know where you're calculating those numbers but my point is that you certainly can't build a row with KS28 and SL-Sub horizontally across the truck. It's just less options and...

    The "official" cabinet finishing thread

    You essentially have two options - get your chosen finish dyed or paint over top of the finish.

    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    Subwoofer design isn't that hard, and doesn't require that many iterations if you design it well. I suppose recreating the KS28 and all of it's compromises, then all of the solutions and marketing to overcome those compromises could require "extensive testing" and "multiple test cabinets"... My...

    subwoofer advise

    I'll give some sage advice, hard fought through the years, regarding the use of HPF for protection: All the big boy companies seem to push the margins more and abuse a 4th order HPF to control the excursion, but a 3rd order filter seems to more naturally control the roll off, in my experience...

    New DIY Mid High (90deg) - AKA PM90

    That's fairly pessimistic, though it might be true since the KS still has the signature SB28 port chuff, annoyingly. I'm honestly not sure if I'd use the KS28 as a starting point besides the general form factor and driver complement.
