Until it has been proven wrong i see no reason to dismiss the PD615WG. If someone would measure TS on both and compare we could come to a conclusion.

the floods have a 6503 driver, and the flash in the linked photos have a 6501. no doubt they're similar, with the bolt through plug etc.. but they're obviously different. so no reason to presume the PD driver is exactly one or the other. maybe you're right.. or maybe the only difference in the 2 turbo ones is how the plug bolts on.

Interesting

I don't know why everyone talks about converting into SP8?
My friend did the same mistake.

NL6 is Great, if you really want to carry bass in the same cable do a SP8-EP6 from your bassbins.

But just stay away from Neutrik SP8
It's crap!
Especially the plastic ones, they loose connections.
The new expensive metal ones are crap too, loose them & releasebutton breaks.

EP6 & XLR are so nice sturdy metal connectors with locks, I can understand that turbo uses this! SP8 is a lot of work and more problems coming your way.

I use SP8, but that's because I got 12 boxes with these connectors and they were cheaper.

Enough about that, Floodlights are great!

Can they really be crossed at 150HZ?
Floodlight spec sheet says 180HZ
Flashlight spec sheet says 150 HZ (longer horns)

NL8 connectors work fine and having used/abused them for 15 years iv'e yet to have any problems at all. 

I did the EP6 to NL8/4 conversion on my Floods and 718's and haven't looked back. 

Ill write it once more! The Floods can be run to 150hz and it's on the official Turbosound DSP-settings spreadsheet when used in conjunction with the 21" subs . The cost is a little lower powerhandling.

Ok, had nothing but problems with SP8, especially the plastic connectors.

I had a look thru the flashlight system manual & the 760ht, all says 180hz,
strange.

But what's even stranger is that the response start to drop dead below 280hz!
The response is 15 db down at 150HZ !!!!

Have a look at the freq response.
I guess it's due to the fact that they'll couple lower in groups.
But going down to 150HZ looks unwise from the spec sheet!

People have been dropping Floods down to 150 hz for the last 25 years without issues. If you are planning to run them to the limit then it wouldn't be advisable due to higher excursion on the 12". 

Myself playing mostly top 20 and electronic music i just run the standard programs and love the midbassy kick sound.

Anyone interested in some tms-2s?
LOL:-) -Think I'm going for 16 floods in stead, but have to check again how I like my subs from 100-150hz...

I had the same dream about floods on martin 215 mk2 / mk3s as someone posted on here:)

180 is for the 718s, the Flash Lo boxes (721s) need more help.
 
TBH, both are crap, the Flood is so bloody efficient running 4 721s (or paired 718s) to 110 and then a single 718 in the 100-180Hz band under a pair of them is the only way....
 
TSE-218s make amazing kick sections for Flood too....
 
Given the likely geif of a reconing (unless you are on good terms with FK1, remember this is NOT a Turbosound box, it is a FK1 ) dropping a 20 year old box to 150Hz may end in tears!

Wise man:-)
They call them 780L, that's a 21" box
I heard the 721 & 718 before and that confused me a bit.

Technically A 721 is a flyable TSW-121 and the 780L is Flash Lo, again flyable but carries flashlight labelling, AFAIA the 721 and 780L are the same box...Smile

so tsw 721 & 780L should be similar
Why these strange names?
Looking at the spec sheets I see one little difference, 137dB peak for 721 & 136dB for 780, everything else look the same, why???
