BuzzzFuzzz 3,828 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 @SirDystic I think... Bloody amazing, beautiful and very cool. Love the Ecky Thump... Is that a Goodies reference? Do you have any build pics? Some extra details would be great to read and see. Well done mate... Inspiration for us all. Regards. Ant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

:) Go Away (: 192 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Very nice build! You must be a single or have a wife with lot of patience, mine goes on rampage even if a single new interconnect cable shows up at the door, so forget about any builds. By the way, the Thumpmaster reminds me of Thumper from Dune (book) and can only imagine this would really thump the floor hard. Is that a subwoofer on right side? You really need to start the build thread. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You really need to start the build thread. Ok, yes I will... It was a long journey.. Google , Ecky Thump.. and you will see... yes Sub on the right.. but it only looks after 50hz down , so It doesn't matter really where I put it... Link to post Share on other sites

It could make a difference where you place the sub depending on the room. Play a 50Hz or lower tone and walk around the room you will hear peaks and troughs, the volume will increase and decrease. If you place the sub in a peak this will add to the sub and you will need to eq the sub gain down Link to post Share on other sites
