"The XA-1100 showed up today. I must admit, it's much bigger and heavier than I ever imagined. In fact, I think I could just set my TV on top of it its so solid.
Not bad for $146 shipped!"
How did you get free shipping? I went to the website and shipping for me was around $50.00, so I didn't pull the trigger.
Anyway how does it perform?
Thanks

Looks like the deal I got from Amazon ($142.99 with free shipping) was a limited time deal or someones mistake, because they are back up over $200 now. Digitally Unique has the weight listed as 3lbs, which is why theirs is coming out so cheap. Only $7.90 to ship here Texas. About $155 total. Probably the best deal going for the moment until they catch their shipping weight mistake. www.digitallyunique.com/xa-1100.html?src=247 |

I just checked and they are out of stock at the moment.  On a side note, I just purchased a Rane PE17 on fleabay for $230. I know it's a lot more money than a BFD, but those things are ugly and appear to be a pain to figure out. I guess if I don't like it I can always put it back up for sale and get the BFD or even the DEQ2496. |

Anyway how does it perform? Thanks Allens I don't know, I haven't built my sub yet. The driver (BP1503) should show up early next week. I'm off for 7 days starting Monday so I should be able to have something up and running by midweek. My XLR adaptor should show up today so I might give it a test run on my mains. This sub is only temporary until we do our addition and I get my own theater room. ;D Then hopefully, I can put the nady to work on a killer IB set up.  |

Problem with any analog EQ is that the dials are so small you'll need instrumentation to accurately set it.

What type of instruments are you talking? I'll be picking up a Rat Shack SPL meter and downloading some type of software. I realize it will be trial and error with the analog eq, but I should be able to do it. But like I said, I can always sell the Rane for close to what I paid for it if I don't like it. And I'll have an extra $100 after I buy the BFD to blow on something else.  |

Real Time Analyzer or some form of MLS testing.
I have a pair of mono Symetrix 551 parametric EQ. Sonically they're great, but unless I use a full-blow testing rig (not an SPL meter) it's impossible to accurately set the little dials. And once they're set, one needs to hot glue the dials in place or use a rackmount security cover. If this isn't done a simple dusting can change all the settings.

Recieved my XA-1100 today. Suprisingly, the fans in it are quieter than the fans in my XA-900. I think I'll replace the fans in the 900 and if it winds up quieter than the 1100, I'll take care of it too. As of today, I can recommend the Panaflo fans as opposed to the OEM "Shen Zhen Jie Leng Industrial Development" fans that my XA1100 had. It no longer sounds like there is a jet ready for takeoff. Well worth the 5 bucks and 30 mins of my time. |

Let me bring this full circle if I may. I am about to do the IB as described here: ibsubwoofers.proboards51.com/index.cgi?board=projects&action=display&thread=1127005163I plan on 2 TC2+ drivers in each of the 4 locations. My Casablanca III has three sub outs which can be L & R Front + Rear or just Front and Rear out of 2 outputs. I can add 2 additional 225W modules to my Theta Dreadnaught to drive the IB front & rear @ a cost of $1000. This is a high currant top class AB design. Or I could use 2 Nady's or Behringer's with a channel and level control for each opening. I of course plan on EQ. What would you guys do and is 225W AB enough to drive 4 drivers each? If not how much power would this need? Thanks edit by moderator to fix link |
