Hooking up Double Advents
Well now that I've ordered the parts to foam and cap my Large Advents, I've been thinking about getting another pair as there are quite a few on Craigslist in my area going for a song.
Here's my question for the pros: The tech at the speaker repair shop that was going to do the re-foam for me 'till I got his estimate told me If I stack Advents I should wire one set if tweeters out of phase. Anyone else heard of this, or tried it? Speaking of tweeters, do they ever need re-foaming or are they good for a lifetime?
nope, and it sounds like a bad idea.
as for stacking them, i think the best bass will be if you stack then woofer to woofer and of course hook them together in parallel. the woofers will be away from the floor and sound less muddy AND they will couple and reinforce each other for deeper and tighter bass.
its best to us a big power amp on this setup. i heard a phase linear 700 driving them to great effect, and i am sure an adcom 555II or 5500 would do nicely.
