If we build it, they will come!!

Excellent! We love project threads. There's a forum for Speakers where you can start a new thread and brag on your project ..., and people will comment, answer questions, or otherwise keep you motivated! 😉

I haven’t built them yet, the hybrid open baffles. I have only assembled some parts to get an idea of the sound I can expect. The mock ups sounded amazing. I will certainly post pics of the finished product. I will likely also post some progress pics.

Welcome, @Bbracken, glad you found us. Cut and paste some pictures of your speakers! they sound very interesting. We love pictures!

Welcome to TCS. That is a rare item, and the manual, very rare. If you come across one, please scan it and send it in so we can add it to the library. I do recall this popping up on eBay as a New in Box, about 2 years ago, IIRC. As for static, sounds like your unit might have something aging (capacitor, perhaps) and going bad. Or, just loosely based on the symptoms, it might be a cracked solder joint. All fixable by the right tech. Best of luck! And, again, welcome to TCS.

WELCOME @Bbracken! That's an interesting speaker project. Keep us updated with your progress by posts including photos...we love audio porn.

Just a brief note of introduction. Been something of an audiophile beginning in the 70’s. I have had a bucket list item I have finally completed: I finally bought a Carver power amp! First of 2 or 3, possibly. This one is a Carver M-400t Cube. I will be matching it up with my Frankenstein speakers… which is to say I have Klipsch horns, the woofers to go with them, and plans for an open baffle hybrid speaker. The horns will be “unboxed” and in the open (they sound fantastic unleashed!!) while the bass woofer (and possibly a sub-woofer also) will be in a 6 cubic ft sealed box. The plans for the box are still unfinished, as I plan on boosting the base over that which Klipsch settled for. As part of my solution will be 2 passive radiators in the box. Potentially 12” woofers (from Heresy 2) a pair of subwoofers and passive radiators. Likely all 4 vertical sides occupied with bass production lol Having a Carver unit is participating in my own history, sort of lol I am hugely excited by it all.

I don't know why....but this song has always spoken to me. I was reminded of that when I picked up some new vinyl today... Speaking in Tongues. It's a very simple song, musically. Until today (when I actually decided to look up the lyrics and meaning), I'd always thought the song had some deep poetic meaning. It really doesn't. It's just a love song. But, it persists as one of the Talking Heads best ever. David Byrne still plays it as he tours. Sean Penn made a whole movie with the same title and the song included (and David Byrne is in the movie). I guess it spoke to a lot of people.

Not sure why I like this theme so much. Hearing Grusin's take on it last night made it a pleasant ear worm. Soooooooo, I thought I would play the original...

Hello jtg80 and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! Our car audio documentation is rather limited, and it appears that amps are all we have docs for.
