I like what you did, but do you call it guitar amp because of the larger jack you used? Would have been interesting to hear it connected to a guitar. Actually, I’m curious, as guitars are usually mono, do both drivers play or just one, when you hook up a mono plug in your stereo jack?

If you took the design of a caulk gun you could make a ratcheting style version
@Sawdust_and_Circuits3 күн бұрын
I looked into something like that, my goal with this was fully 3d printed ,the mechanism in a caulking gun might be tricky to shrink and make plastic.

@Sawdust_and_Circuits This is true, the tolerances would have to be awkwardly fine, then it may slip once the surfaces polish over time... Saw tooth might work if it can be printed fine enough...

I’ve always wanted an earthquake home theater sub. I just got one and I really like it. Though it has a fraction of the power of that guy. It’s 600 watt rms is still pretty good, especially since I upgraded from a Sony 10 inch. You can see a short I made on my KZbin channel about it if you are curious.

Bob carver my have built the amplifier and power supply but he didn't build and design the actual subwoofer that being used in the sun fire subwoofers . Wich is also none to be one of the best designs and still really popular. The frame of the woofer used in lots of subwoofer and highly sought after. The builder was named telo stompler they call the speaker frame a TC he actually design most of the sun fire woofers from what i under stand. He's well none name to most car subwoofer buiders. 💯🫡😉👍✌️

@Sawdust_and_Circuits have you seen or heard of velodyne speakers they also make a similar style sub woofer with a small compact box model spl 12 and they also have use 1000w amp plate. I'd say there the closest in sound and build design. Both can play really low. The amp kinda reminds me of the Dayton audio amplifier . 💯👍👌

@childishtombino127514 күн бұрын
@@Sawdust_and_Circuits All power amplifiers have some degree of capacitor power storage. 2700w peak is more likely. There's no chance it is sustaining that amount of power for any noticeable length of time. I even doubt 500w continuous just looking at the design. We all know that power delivery has very little correspondence to sound pressure output anyway...
@moffarocka353714 күн бұрын
If I remember correctly, this subwoofer powers the amplifier directly from the mains. You can see the big bridge rectifier and cap on the rear panel. The small transformer only feeds the input stage which is isolated from the power amp using optocouplers

@@moffarocka3537 Ahh now that's interesting. I've not seen this before, but would make more sense if the power specifications are true. I suppose there would be some pretty serious and foolproof limiter circuitry in place to make sure the driver isn't over-volted.
