OT practice space blog:

After 3 years, my buddy finally picked up his pair of Sunn model 10 PA cabs (along with his Yamaha PA). They took up so much space that I'm stoke to have back. Once the garage is all re-organized, I'm going to have a much easier time navigating my equipment. Acquired some new shelves and will sell some lesser amps/cabs and shit's gonna be real nice for a change. Now all I need is a rat fink guitar stool 

Space pics to follow in the coming weeks.

hey disco, i saw laurie post that on the facebook the other day....

so you and lumps are in leadbreath too? small fuckin world... laurie and i rehearsed across the hall from one another for years, she introduced me to the death by excess crew, she essentially spawned that iteration of DxE, the latter Damnweevil incarnation (danno joined damnweevil), Lost Machine and Heavy Action. sorry for the drunk/high/drunk rambling.... basically i'm sayin' laurie is good people, therefore by definition y'all is (most likely) good people

Laurie's rig (and summa Lumpy's on the far left).

Nice, but needs some folded horns, couple of Cerwin Vega's maybe?

Yeah, man! Small world, indeed. Laurie and I are Leadbreath. Lump-doggg has his own project and we share that space. I met Laurie, Dr. Zayus (Jason), and Franksnbeans (Ben) through my lady, Charlotte (Babynoodles). All good people.

HAHA yeah if I had it my way there would be a sub in the mix, but it's not my rig, and you can only give so much advice before people stop listening to you and buy two non-ported home made 2x15 cabs. It's loud, but definitely more "Kilmister" than "Cisneros".

[Hemisaurus]

Are those Black Widow 15"s in them? It looks like a square box, plug it into WinISD quickly, figure out the port hole length and get busy with a holesaw. Seriously, a couple of properly calculated ports in the middle of each might do wonders.

Here's a crappy example, figure that those cabs there are about 16" x 44" x 16" gives you a volume of 185 litres, and we assume that is the interior volume. Figure those are older Black Widows and take the T/S specs for them.



The purple line is the response of 2 Black Widows in a closed 185 liter cabinet, the green line is with it ported and tuned to 60Hz in 185 liter box.



3 3/4" is a common enough vent tube size, with three vents you get a nice 1" port length, or I suppose you could cut a 1" deep slot type port with the same volume as 3 x 3 3/4" circular ports.

Obviously do way more calculation than this, if you decide to do it, I'm guessing at everything here, from the speakers used to the size of the cabs, to the construction of the boxes. The main idea is the difference in frequency response from the closed versus the vented box

[Discö Rice]

Wow thanks, Hemi. They are in fact Peavey Black Widow 15's. That's great info. I'll tell her about it tonight when I see her. Downloading that program now.

[Hemisaurus]

Make sure and find out which kind of Black Widows they are, different variants have different specs. Don't just rely on what's in the programs database.

The new band's space is upstairs in the warehouse of the bassist's business. Every day is Halloween up there.

that's awesome. no noise complaints there, huh?!

[RacerX]

Nope. 

It's all commercial warehouses in the area.

[Jake]

Nice. You even gots a doorguy it appears.

[bitter]

He just likes to watch.

[RacerX]

It is pretty cool, but for the record, if/when SANDIA MAN becomes an option again, I'll gladly practice in a port-potty.

Jon might have to pare the kit down a bit, tho...

[moose23]

Nope.

What's the deal with all the hanging guitars?

[RacerX]

Part of the bassist's collection. It's mostly basses, but there are a few guitars, as well.

[Lumpy]

They make the New Guy stand way over on the side

[ryansummit]

one of the bands that practice at my space took off
they had so much shit
so much room now

to give you an idea there is another rug next to that one
and about 6 more feet after that
its not the hugest place, but when its just me down there it feels big
shows here rule
its big enough that your not cramped,but small that it feels like a house show
my home away from home(up to 3 nights a week now,1 solo,2 w/drummer)

I'm betting it was his choice to move that far to the right. *winky face

[RacerX]

Nah, I had a bad case of the farts, so the other dudes all kinda ended up scrunched up on the one side after awhile.
