meade916 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Anyone who has been to the shop in the last 2 years (and has heard the towers), probably also knows that i have had passive radiator issues with them and they have been officially down for the count for the last few months. What happened was, the SMD v1's that drive these PR's is just a little too much for them and tore the spiders off their landings. Imagine a sub with no magnet (a Passive Radiator for those that aren't following this), and the glue coming off the spider landing. I re-glued them of course but they popped off again. Still working, although wobbly, and being the lazy ass i was, i neglected to fix them. Over time, the wobble effect of them not having a proper suspension made the surround shear itself. Finally i decided it was time to fix them as i REALLY love my towers. And in that time, the new SMD "Mini" series subs are now also coming on board. I chose to take out the original SMD v1 subs and put the new "mini's" in. I think they will get off on the Crown amps a lot better since it requires less power to get moving. I know it sounds confusing what i just typed, i am just trying to put into words what is going on with the woofer/PR swap in my towers...and why i am doing it. Oh, side note, the new all matching dust caps are gonna look so good in there! For those just now checking in, these are for my "8 Foot Towering towers" (built in 2010). Here is the original build log. I will update that tomorrow when i get started! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/89524-smd-8-foot-towering-towers-complete-build-pics-videos-inside/page-1 Oh i love me a good old fashion unboxing! Brandon was the first one to get to run the SMD Mini 12's and now he is jealous of the 18's These will have to be tuned before i glue the caps on for good. I will use my SMD IMSG of course! 5 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

Airborne Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I saw the video on youtube. I can't wait to see people do some big builds with those things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Got them in and they sound LOVELY! Youtube video being edited right now, i am posting while part of it is rendering. Full break down, install (swap out), tune (Using IMSG) and a little Demo of the results. They are loud! But very clean! Cleaner than you might ever expect. For a quick little clip of what they sound like while waiting on the full video, check out my FB page or IG channel http://www.instagram.com/meade916 . I got about an hour left plus i got dinner on the table. Thanks for checking in! Now before you say something about he ugly casters, remember one thing. When upright, they cannot be seen. The skirt i built around them hides them. They "float" about 1/4" off the surface and are totally invisible normally 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
