do you need a s-converter to bump the lfe voltage up??

Help please:huh:

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

oK samson s converter looks good but i dont understand how ill hook it up from LFE on receiver to the input channel on my ep4000 can some one send me pics of theres or a diagram thanks

Cheers,

KrazyBassKevin

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Oh i see but theres a few ways i could do this from the receiver's lfe i could go the LFE to 1/4 route where from there i use a xlr to 1/4 and there xlr to the s-converter and from there another xlr to 1/4 to the ep4000

or

I could go rca fromn receiver to the rca on the samson and then xlr to 1/4 to the ep4000 which is the best way?

does any on have pictures for further clarification thanks

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Oh ok got it thanks just RCA which i have and a XLR but is it male to male?

Thanks Cheers,

KrazyBassKevin

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

And on the s converter when i do the rca in which XLR out is it the gnd or the cold? and what should the -10 level be at? thanks

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Thats what i originally thought too Mike.

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Ok so the rca that goes into the s-converter is a RCA to LFE im assuming anf the XLR's are going from the S-converter to the ep2500's cool look great..

Ok cost is and issue but not that big for 20 bucks

So whats the difference between the S-converter and the art box and wheres the cheapest place i saw 50 but some one said 30 idk where thought?

ANother side question why do you have both boxes?? looks like the S-converter (samson) would be fine for 2 amps right arent they input 1 and 2 i saw pics and one says cold and the other gnd whats the meaning sorry im such a questioner i just dont what issue in my first big build... im scared for the custom box!!!

Thanks SOOOOO much Josh your shackster winner of the year IMO and im sure many others too!!!

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Cool thanks so much Josh!!!

Cheers,

[KrazyBassKevin]

I understand your logic David but unfortunately the ep4000 doesn't offer that s-converter is a guy thing to have too.

Cheers,

[KrazyBassKevin]

Yeah the Behringer ep 4000 is just such a steal for 300

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Well currently 2 kicker cvr's but i have a FI Q coming fro Xmas, but im focused on building it for the Kickers and i do beleive i need a HP filter which the amp has i believe.

Cheers,

[KrazyBassKevin]

[KrazyBassKevin]

Heres the kickers

[KrazyBassKevin]

Currently i think 2 separate?...I was think about making a new box maybe tuned lower towards 35 32ish with dual 6 in ports (flares) in about 4-5 cubic feet also i would like this box to easily be modified to fi the 18 if possible or a box that could keep all 3 and when i rid of the kickers just board it and seal...The box i have is good and durable but the binding plates are garbage and the box it small.

Any ideas?

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Currently separately cause u want to do 8 omh each channel on the ep4000 to be at around 550 watts each....

Hows that sounds...

Also i want to make a new box ideas anyone?...No sonotubes though

Cheers,

KrazyBassKevin

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

350 watts i was going to push 1450 ish through the q probably more and if i get a btl more like 2800!

but thats the future im trying to build a box and the system for what i currently own so thats the Kickers Mike what would be best for the kicker their 800watts peak i was wondering about running 550 to them on 8 omhs non bridged

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Well this is not only for music its for a HT sub as well and i was hopefully going to make a new box and 350 watts yes for blasting music that a lot and i wont have it at 100 anyways...gain come in affect there.

 

[KrazyBassKevin]

Any Box ideas yet guys? i saw some crazy ones in the DIY subs section....
