after checking 'em out and mocking one up i've come to believe the design isn't any better than a generic/prefab 4th order bandpass. but i would like to be proven wrong try it out!! what sub?? with a lil plexi it'd make a nice coffee table -------------------- quote: it would all be for nothing without my favorite cawk-smoker NAvi

I know someone who made a 15" version of the wicked one, and now just complains to me of the huge size and mediocire SPL output, but says it plays nice and low. So I guess its all whats important to you, but its definately not some miracle wonder box. --------------------

nice job...whats the length that you ended up going with? and the angle you had to adjust your saw too, if you dont mind divulging classified info lol... to tune it, the sight says to widen the slot opening for a higher tuning right? theoretically if the chambers were maximized to be the same size relative to an optimum sized enclosure (larger height), think the output would be much higher? but it also seems like the actual length of the throat of the horn would contribute to the tuning frequency also...i could be wrong, any insight?

Keep in mind this box can be modded to be loud accros a wider range of frequencies, but you still can be a bit louder with a properly tuned ported with a narrow range. -------------------- -Donald Hebig -All Out S.P.L.
