The general consensus is that the 16A should be lifted off the floor and it’s something I’ve wanted to try for a while.
Obvious answer is to lay the Lab subs on the floor and put the horn on top. My friend Chris stupidly volunteered to give me a hand and we spent the next three hours wrestling with 200kg of pig iron. After a futile attempt to lift it we decided dismantling it was probably s less stupid option than a hernia. Re-mantling it was almost as little fun as trying to lift it, but we got there in the end.
Anyway, got it fired up and guess what, it sounded shit so we gave up and went for a burger.
Once we’d returned and I’d got over the urge to order a skip, we did an amp swap and some crossover tinkering and it now sounds rather quite promising.
Once I get my mic. pre back from Adam I’ll have a go at dialling it in properly.
Yup. No x-over at all on the 16A. It’s not as bad as it sounds as the limited inductance off the OPTs means the so rolls of bellow 100Hz, so there’s no real risk of driver damage.
