r/SoundSystem

I have 4 yorkville LS801Ps. Usually on gigs I’ll take 2 of them. I’ve been having an issue i been trying to tackle for a very long time. When playing the subs the bass sounds better from behind heavy and loud the way i like it but in front that same bass doesn’t sound the same nor do i feel it in my chest 10-20 feet away. I made sure each sub has dedicated 20amp so power not an issue. Always tried different placement because room nodes is a thing. But this happens most places. I recently heard 2 rcf 8006 playing at high levels the limit light wasn’t even on and 20-30 feet away i can feel the bass in my chest and hear it very well. Should i get a dbx venue 360 to adjust the phase to fix this. Add insulation fiber in the cabinet upgrade the woofer to a tbx100? I only have a behringer maximizer at the momment any input is greatly appreciated hope to find a solution.

Hello, I live in Texas, Austin has recently acquired a full HSD rig, however there’s nothing else. Local venues with their line array systems.

I wouldn’t mind doing a Hennessy rig, but I’m leaning more towards VOID! BUT, I hear they are hard to maintain and can sound bad if not calibrated properly.( yes I know that’s any rig)
I love some F1s but also hear that you have to constantly re calibrate.

I would prefer to purchase a turnkey rig because I don’t have tool, skill set, or space to build my own.

So what’s the best for all applications, all types of music, able to size up/down for specific events, not a pain in the ass to maintain.

What would that system be?

I’ve heard good things about paraflex as well

Thanks peeps!

PS, plan is to use this rig for homie fests, small/medium warehouses.
And my personal needs👀

Edit: I know bassboss would be great for entry level, but am persistent to know how the ins and outs of actual putting in the work, however I will not settle for something that also isn’t appealing to the eyes, like how Void,Hsd, Element 5 have that sex appeal! Sorry for my pickiness 🫠🙏🏻

Hellooo.

I’m starting out building my first wee system. I’m going for 2 br118’s loaded with b&c 18sw100’s (8ohm), and 2 tops I’m going for the b&c U12 build with the specced drivers.

My question here is what would be some good budget friendly amp / dsp options? I’ve seen some amps have integrated dsp like the behringer nx6000d. Would it be worth going for a couple of amps with this option, or would it be better to get a dedicated dsp and a couple separate amps?

Cheers

I'm finishing up a build of some SKRAMs with 21SW152 drivers, and I'll be headed out to play with them and do some tuning in a couple of weeks. I'd like to have a safe HPF (and ideally limiter) config ahead of time though.

I've been playing around with hornresp to try and find a reasonable configuration, but I don't have a lot of experience in this area and would like to cross-check against what others are running as I don't really trust myself to make no mistakes with this. If anyone more versed in this would be willing to share their setup, it would be much appreciated!

Ive started building my SKram subs, thinking of using CD-18 kicks, but also rlly like the idea of jmods as mids/tops.
But if i already havs dedicated kicks therefore cut the jmods off at around 200hz , does the benefits of jmods become null? Surely the whole point of jmods is their broad frequency range, if i have kicks then surely i might aswell just use an mt121 or something similar?
Am i wasting the jmods potential if i cut them off?
Or maybe the jmods are still better?
Can i just overlap them with the kicks?
Anyone know??

I currently have a system that has a bunch of 80s components that I have picked up off market place.

EV 3 way crossover, Teac Graphic Equaliser, and a BBE Sonic Maximizer.. (yep I know people hate em)
Then the amps below that.
This all runs to 2x 18" P Audio Subs, 2x 15" Thomann Subs, 2x 15" EV Mids and then the tops (2x 12" and horn/tweeters)

So tuning is not ideal with the 3 way crossover..

I have just pushed go on a Driverack PA2, this would essentially do everything the old stuff does and better right??

Is it worth keeping any of the old stuff??

Does anybody can help me choose between those two subwoofers and tell me why one or another is superior 😁

I want to use it for Raves and for Weddings if that helps anybody to choose an specific sub for me 😂
