I've watched this video way too many times and just noticed the Lab, I'm just glad other djs with real rigs exist. The Lab in the rack is just icing on the cake.
Nice, I have stacks of these QSC PLX2's, good amps. The JTR Growlers...looking real hard on these , may buy a six pack for my HT(arrays of 36 direct radiating subs).
I have put Vegas against 10" loaded horns (BFM Tuba 30 Slims 24" wide HL10a loaded) & the Vegas got spanked right across the board. In SQ, SPL as well as frequency range, Vegas are one of the worst horn designs on the market (the horn length as well as mouth size both fall too sort). Take a look at a frequency graph (there are a few owner posted graphs) for the Vega & compare them then you'll see for yourself.
is that just a crappy mic on the camera or is that actually the sound of all the air those subs are moving? if that's air from the subs at ~10ft away that's absurd!
Must be nice to live so close to JTR!! As far as your comment about 50 hz & the Growlers.... as long as you dont clip the amp the Growler can take up to 1600 Watts. Most run the Growlers at 1500 watts each with clip limitors / Driverack. You can achieve the highest out put with this strategy but you have to make sure you dont clip!! Like any setup... clipping (aka squaring the wave) is bad, especially if you are powering the sub to the program rating (not rms).
I actually own 4 growlers. He came out with 2 and 2 triple 8's oh and the Lab Gruppen lol. This is the 2nd set-up. I usually couple the mouths together though. He wanted to see what the difference was this time. The Lab has no problem handling a 2 ohm load, however due to lack of power from the wall the voltage protector in the amp limited the output. Some of the music I play has real nasty sine waves down to 50 hz. I doubt very seriously that you can put that much power into a growler @ 50 hz.
I know the Growlers very well... I own 4 and have a degree in engineering. I was just saying that with proper power you can make 4 in a cluster displace just as much air as this cluster of 6!! No disrespect here, as Bman knows!! I love the Growlers and wouldnt run anything else. I wanted everyone to know that you dont need 6 to be very loud!! These Growlers are awesome even with just 2 but are killer in clusters of 4, 6, or more!!
BMan... looks like Jeff is taking care of ya lol. Couple things... couple them with the horn openings together for better performance. You may have wanted 2 power allies but I find center clustering them with horn openings together is optimum. Also looks like you need to buy a few more amps. If you are powering all 6 off the the Gruppen amp, thats 2.67ohms per channel or less than 1000 watts per Growler!! They like ~1500 watts each with no clipping of course!!

"So Fly Instrumental" by Slim (Lead singer 112) Sounds Good! I can't see a 12" competing with a Vega though?

I think you should rearrange the stack so the horn mouths are all against each other
TimpBizkit 2 years ago
I actually do. This was the first time I arranged them like this. My friend wanted to see if it made a big difference.

Well did it? I was just saying that because I'd heard it on the internet.

I run (4) Growlers center clustered with 1500 watts to each Growler & achieve the same volume you have in this video!!
