Newly purchased Turbosound TMS-4

Those cd102's are notorious for corrosion they are the only component that is partially open to the elements.  To save a lot of money I would be very wary of putting any new diaphragms in until you are totally totally and again, totally certain that you have cleaned out the coil gaps on the compression drivers perfectly, no roughness, no grit, no welded on fragments of the last coil.  Otherwise as you can imagine in go the new coils a couple of shows later & oop's coil carbonara..

A piece of credit card works well as a scraper followed by some masking tape doubled over sticky side out and run round the slit till its picked up all the bits of crap.. 

 

So you were the guy that bought the TMS-4:s, saw the ad a while ago.

A slight twitch in the buy finger but decided not to in the end.

 

Those cabs actually look pretty well taken care of, have alot of fun with them.

Where abouts are you located?

 

And since you have them apart already.

I would sugest for the greater good of all mankind, get som pictures and maybe measurements of the Turbobass chamber.

Because there has been so much speculation on how it's made up and what it looks like and so on.

I think alot of people would be really grateful, I know I would atleast.

Yes they use this beyma 350-16ohm diaphragm, if you're using passive filters notice driver ohms will affect crossover frequency, check updates for filters by turbosound, I have a link somewhere...

I have filters too, my tms-2's are now 3way speacon8, just tested a few tonight!

 

If you add more bins a 80Hz hi pass on the TMS kick section gains you a load of efficiency, so you can really drive the bins low and get maximum punch from the TMS, IMHO  TSE-x18 is not the ideal box to sit under a TMS-4 as you want something that runs harder and lower than the existing 18", unless you go 8 TSE-218s aside in witch case they go loud and low....

Myself I'm beginning work with the MHB-46 designed by Marc.O

I think jerronimo here has built 4 of them and swears by them so that's the way i'm gonna go for allround subs.

Though that's a hybrid horn so I suppose a little different sound from FLH:s, I don't really know since I've never heard eather. 

But that's the conclusions I've drawn myself.

Maybe somebody else with more experince has some different input.
