The PA cabs are the things I was calling Frankentowers. I had one done then did he extension or my Fender amp. I got the second Audiosource amp, so I finished up the second tower. Got $200 in amps and $200 in drivers, towers, even including the power tools. At this point I have to say I'm convinced the active coupling of a woofer firing into the rear of a whole front panel makes up for the efiiciency usually found in instrument speakers, but as a scientist, I need numbers. So I reckon its time to put together some instrumentation and test it. I built the equipment to rest brains, I reckon I can manage speakers. Anyway, I put together a brag picture for posting on the music sites I'm on. I'll post it and the blurb. After, I'd normally post the plans, but I'm looking into hoew unique the design is, like maybe patentable. So, here goes:
Wheatstone Bridge family photo: 28 strings with 4 single coil pick ups and one humbucking pick up plus a 12" cone resonator and two mikes riding 12 channels into 400 watts RMS and out through 4 channels pushing 975 in^2 of cone on 43 drivers with 1065 watts handling capability. And hanging off the side of the board is today's newcomer, a TASCAM stereo line in or internal stereo mikes direct to digital 48K/24 bit recording system with 2GB SSD, for 240 minutes uncompressed or up to 20 hours of MP3 or WAV onboard compressed file storage. Along with the new Dell desktop with recording studio software and hot-swappable IDE external drives up to half a terabyte, we are now a complete concert outfit with live and/or studio recording, full editing capability, and self contained production system. Anyone wanna jam?
(And yes, I'm aware the stats aren't very meaningful as is. I still like them)
