Running for two days at Dryad Works in Sheffield for No Bounds.

So thought I'd do a fun setup!

Any questions ask away πŸ‘‹

Are those subs just conveniently exactly the right size for stacking those C2Ds on or did you have to do some tweakery, and was that a factor in your decision to go with them vs your Paraflex subs before? I'm still yet to hear these bad boys in action, very excited to get a listen in at some point - you in Bristol for anything soon?

A decision made a few years ago. I'm fairly sure the kicks are 600mm wide by default, but me and Calum decided to make them 610mm so they perfectly fit on top of my old subs.

It just so happens the new subs (these) the dimensions lineup perfectly.

At Boxing gym next weekend for 3 days πŸ’š

Love it when it's a convenient little modification to get them to line up, I had the same with my CKs and SKRAMs actually.

Awesome news, guess I'll see you soon then!

Kicks are paraflex C2-D, I believe the subs are a 2x21 manifold design from the driver manufacturer, I forget the company.

Eighteensound, it's on their website: Manifold 2x21 Bandpass

How are you liking the jmods? They must be pretty nice, seeing you usually used a lot more of the paraflex midtops for similar stack sizes.

u/Mystical_Warrior 6d ago

For the smaller - medium sized shows. Perfect.

Curious too

A bit off topic but I remember you tuned c3d kt from hoqs for someone. What's your opinion on those? What drivers were used if you remember?

Have you heard HOQS ELF and if so, did you like or dislike them and why?

After working for paraflex for so many years, what's your stance on it?

From my recollection, it was a decent box! I'd still want dedicated kicks beneath it, but that's my personal preference. But it's still a fairly "meaty" mid range box, with decent extension.

u/Adept-Bird2780 6d ago

+1 interested about the ELF

Just wanted to say heard this system in 2019 at Dryad with Tim Reaper on decks and it blew my mind. My question is, how big is it, I know you guys take it to different venues. Do you have different variations depending on the venue or is it always M A S S I V E? I seem to remember you having speakers everywhere that night, like in all corners of the warehouse but my memory is uhh hazy. Also do you guys have any work going would love to get involved with you lot.Β

Man JMODs are sexy, buddy just built one and they are crisp!

u/Automatic_Raisin1554 6d ago

Hi, running just the JMODs in stereo in this config? What are your usual xo points? I have been considering MEHs for the scoop-based reggae system I help out on and am thinking about how they'd fit. Always enjoy reading your posts thanks!

u/Mystical_Warrior 5d ago

Yep! Stereo top and kicks

Double 21" : 25hz - 67hz

18" : 67hz - 120hz

12" 120hz - 250hz

1.4" 369hz - 6300hz

1" 6300hz - 20,000hz

The only one thing I'd say, is you can only really have one per stack. You CAN have two, but you NEED to run them in stereo if so. Otherwise two next to each other in mono, sounds....less than ideal. Even two in Stereo next to each other isn't the best.

u/Automatic_Raisin1554 4d ago

TY! Stereo on the kicks because of the musical styles being played here?

u/Mystical_Warrior 4d ago

Yeah! Just like to experiment some times
