Hello everyone, I'm about to build a soundsystem mostly for dub, UK steppers and im really struggling wchich subbass cabinet is more reasonable to buiild.
Can anyone maybe describe their individual experiences with those and how the 2x18 sounds like? I've heard superscoopers multiple times but it's still hard to make a clear comparison in my head. From what I've heard with some faster steppers scooper can be not fast enough when it comes to a response. I definitely prefer scooper visually but that's not the most important thing I think.
Thanks!

Problemi con i drivers

8 Upvotes

Buonasera a tutti, sono un neofita principiante che si è da poco addentrato in questo mondo.

Non riesco a capire per quale motivo funzioni solo il driver da 10" mentre il suo gemello e il tweeter restino muti. Spero in una vostra risposta :( .

Allego video.

Martin Audio WSX / WS218X Grilles

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone !

I'm in a real quest. I'm looking for speaker grilles for Martin Audio WSX (they seem to be the same as the ones for the WS218X). Does anyone happen to know a website where I can buy them without spending too much? (In Europe, if possible). It seems almost impossible after doing a few searches

Thanks all !

Single sub for small/medium system

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello legends. I recently picked up a pair of these sick Peavey speakers from marketplace with the intention of making a nice small - medium setup, house parties, small park gatherings etc. I also found a Yamaha xp7000 which is slightly underpowered, but will work well if I link in parallel. Anyways my question is I want to build a sub for these, then I have the option to bi-amp the Peavey’s and crossover the system out. I was looking at things like the paraflex type o 18”. What’s something that works well as a single or possibly pair, that would cover a wider genre area than only dub, things like jungle, footwork, fun,k hip hop, soul, jazz.
all ideas welcome, thanks again!

Help with PA system

Hi everyone,

I’ve just bought a second hand oldish PA system from Facebook marketplace, got home and plugged everything in and there is a strange high pitch ring whenever it is turned on. Even when everything is turned down, and nothing is plugged into the PA it still rings, I’m not sure whether it’s the speakers or the mixer amp. I’ve tried literally everything, the previous seller said it was completely fine before he sold it to me. I’ll attach some photos of the mixer and the speakers, any help would be greatly appreciated

18sound NTLW5000 dsp setting

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have four 18Sound NTLW5000 8ohms drivers powered by an amplifier rated at 2 × 7,800 W into 4 ohms, with a gain of 41 dB.

I’m looking for advice on how to get the most out of these drivers while ensuring they operate safely and making full use of their 4,000 W peak power handling.

Would you have any recommendations for the RMS and peak limiter settings?

Thank you for the help
