hi Tony
i found the mackie thumpy but not really articulate, i havent had time yet to get in anywhere and really tweak the beyma boxes at a high level, but they seem to blend with the beyma 12" mid tops quite well, so only time will tell, being able to carry one in each hand and lose the speaker stands was a huge consideration to be honest, but i am more than happy with the sound so far, and the option of being able to hide the boxes under tables and other obstacles where you wouldnt be able to with a bigger box is marvelous too,
i need to get some grilles on them, i rolled up at a swanky bar last night, and you know that look when you walk in with all your gear?, well they were too busy clocking me, they didnt notice the huge cochroach that ran out the front of my sub when i placed it on the stage
 not sure what the score is with that poly glue, the overall appearance of the finished job does not reflect the care i took with the build, it just seemed to froth up and end up all over the place.
hope you are well mate
cheers

Kev, I have found that not all PU glues are born equal.
I have been using some for a couple of years that is absolutely brilliant. It does foam as you say but the excess just simply trims away with a chisel to leave a really clean joint. However with some that I have had from Screwfix and other places the extruded excess seems to remain tacky long after the joint has actually bonded and you either have to wait 24 hrs for it to completely dry and it is then a bitch to get off or you tackle it early and it gets everywhere. The one thing that I have found with all of the PU glues is the ease with which it does sand off ready for painting etc. Yes mate I am very well at the moment with plenty to do and keep me out of trouble. How is your life in the Sun? A mate of mine that does the same type of thing as you reckons work has picked up the last 12 months after a tricky period following the big crash.

hi tony
i'm going to presume i had the el screwfix glue then
 it was stuck to the hairs on my arms and everywhere, i tried to clean it with thinners but had to scrape it off in the end.its not too bad here, the problem with the work is the bars and fooderies are trying to introduce a one price fits all policy, which stinks when you compare belting out tom jones and joe cocker at full belt with someone who transposes ub40 in to an even easier key that it was written in??
but its a nice life here so i mustnt complain
glad you are busy and well, will let you know how i get on with my projects.
cheers

Tony, the 2x12 and 2x8+HF? system looks perfect for a small 3k PA and rehearsal room set up.
Can I get the designs for both please ?? Cheers, Rob.  Actually the single 12 design would be better for the rehearsal room, so all 3 designs please

Hey Tony, loving this little system...even though I'm late to the thread, haha You wouldn't happen to have the plans for the top speaker would you? Cheers, George.

I presume you mean the 12SB30, no it is nothing like the BMS, the performance of this little cab is tied in directly with the recommended drivers. Anyone wanting plans just PM your Email address. Tony |

Yes I have been using them a while now. Similar output to a typical single 18" but in 70L. These are tuned like the single 12" @ 45hz and have a simmed -3db of 43hz. To use a hi-fi term they really have a slam to them. Have also done slightly bigger boxes of 45L per driver tuned to 38hz.
