I would like it Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:03:49 GMT tripmaster@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/180 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/180 Hello Bob I will hold off tweeter and capacitors mods as Ive just built another amp and now the speakers are sounding better than ever. There must have been Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:51:51 GMT tripmaster@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/179 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/179 ... Hi Bob Its really hard to describe the warble/oscillation as its a strange sound. It would be hard to replicate if I were to speak to you on the phone, and Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:23:02 GMT brinesacoustics http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/178 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/178 Richard, I am not sure I know what you mean by "oscillation". If it only happens in a few select spots in your room, I suspect that your problem is room Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:40:08 GMT tripmaster@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/177 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/177 Hi Bob I have another one for you ;) I have noticed when playing a couple of tracks with deep bass lines, and at a slightly higher volume the bass appears to Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:19:48 GMT tripmaster@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/176 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/176 Thanks Bob Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:52:24 GMT brinesacoustics http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/175 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/175 Richard, The cap goes across the resistor and inductor. Solder it across the resistor. Use at least a good polypropylene cap. at these low values, a film and Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:37:25 GMT tripmaster@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/174 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/174 Thanks Bob I might try the cap tweak first as the tweeters are going to cost the best part of a £100. Can I bypass at the speaker posts or do I need to add Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:43:53 GMT brinesacoustics http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/173 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/173 Richard, The only cheap tweak that I can think of is to bypass the BSC filter with a 1-2uF capacitor. That will give you more output at the top.

But...If I were to change something it would be the top end. The speakers sound very Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:19:56 GMT najuchd http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/171 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/171 Thanks Bob, I thought you mentioned before to set it at 40Hz. I had it set to between 40-50 Hz when the room was reacting. It was with vinyl that can get Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:39:37 GMT brinesacoustics http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/170 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brines_acoustics/message/170 For 2-channel music, I set the sub XO to 40Hz. This fills down to ~20Hz with my sub in my room. Once the frequency reaches the point where a 1/2 wave length
