I hope Bill re-registers, I liked that guy.

Djteknovibe is also a bit slow in re-joining..

I don't think he had any BFM speakers.

I built some TLAH 'look-alikes' just after DJF went down. I gigged 'em in December, and they sounded better than the venue's installed sound.

Specs:
8x 5" Sony poly-propylene cone 4-ohm woofer, 10WRMS/20W Max, 85.3db/1W@1M,
8x KSN-1016 piezo tweeter.
12" wide, 12" deep, 60" tall
5/8" CDX outdoor grade plywood with PL-Prem. Polyurethane glued and 1.5" ring-shank nailed joints
Weight: 35Lbs
Ground stack splayable, and Flyable.


With these for subs:


And these for amplification:


The idea came from these 1983 vintage LAs my dad built...

starting my build tomorrow for the otop 12s, but i still havent decided on a sub yet. Are the tuba 30s really better for djing, or should i go for the t48?

[djscrizzle]

If memory serves me properly, it was said on the old DJF that the following applied to T30 vs T48...

The Titan 48 was 'voiced' more for live band music, than DJing, and sacrifices lower-end for more power; more 'Kick' in the 70-100Hz region. The Tuba-30 goes deeper and really shines in groups of 4 or more stacked and vee'd together.

Ahhh, ok I got you. I was thrown off since this is the BFM thread & we where talking about BFM designs plus inviting back Bill.

(LOL -- this is j/k --- I know how much Bill Fitzmaurice hates BOSE)

Not at all. I think the L1 Compact is a perfectly adequate $695 system, and the L1 Model 1 is a perfectly good $1295 system. Now buying them at the price they're actually worth is a different story.
