HI Folks,

Been traveling a bit hope everyone is well! I looked at the Wiki and I need a couple of clarifications please.

1) The 8k main box, is that the

a) OD of speaker ?
b) OD of box with speaker in it?


2) 8000k Wiki Weights (WW)

are they the weights for the:

a) speaker by itself ?

or

b) speaker & box?


3)
Does anyone have handy the height for the base cabinet (without head)? Even better would be a schematic of the cabinet. Yes, I'm a mad scientist and I want to build my own 8ks, kidding, no I just want to have hard transport cases built for them.



Wiki info with my addition of inch conversion:


• DSP8000 Main Box 117Kgs 135 (53.15”) X 80 (31.5”) X 65 cms (25.6”)
• 53.15 x 31.5 x 25.6
• DSP8000 Head Unit 20Kgs 49 X 49 X 40 cms
• 19.3 x 19.3 x 15.75

I beleive those are weights and sizes of the boxed units (with contents).

No point in duplicating weights and sizes of the speaker itself.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.

Thank you Locus, I've been there in the past but didn't drill down far enough, the PDFs are very helpful, thank you!

George, txs for the clarifications, I am in need to the seperate weights and dimensions of the base and head as I'm going to have hard cases made for the 8ks.

Something along the lines of what these guys make.
