I'd estimate at least 2 quarts. Let's see what he says.
Hey Carl,
He says, he can't remember but I bet your guess would be close.
I would suggest buying 1 gallon, and a roller.
If you keep the bucket sealed up good, your left over Duratex should last, ready for your next project.

To get a slightly smoother finish, I usually mix a very small amount of water into the Duratex.

I think that's good advice since this my first f 20 build. But would it help any if the brace next to sub was extended to run in front sub and connect to the mouth exit panel? Bad idea?
Hpower I like the black finish on your sub, is that duratex?
Yep, Duratex.

I braced my F20, it's not that much extra work.
And it's not like you can go in after the fact and add them.

I am guessing you probably saw this in the "Alert" section.
I little on the pricey side IMHO, but i driving distance for you...
I bought my La Scalas for $600 Canadian, but they are very rough.
They play fine, and will look great after I get to refurbishing the cabinets.

I am really liking that veneer!
It's making me 2nd guess going with the "flat cut" Walnut that I have going on my trio of Heresy IIIs that I am currently building.
What cut is your Walnut ?

My Favourite spot in Syracuse is the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
Awesome ribs, great live music, and fantastic patio... in the summer.
And the Yuengling beer is not bad either.

I did sell my Jub clones a year and a half or so ago... huge mistake!
I will let @Chris A speak to how my set measured when he helped dial them in,
but to my ear I was very happy with the way they sounded.
After realizing my mistake in selling the Jub-likes, I refurbished a pair of Peavey FH-1 bass bins and
then paired them with the K510 / Faital HF-200 drivers in a custom top hat that I built for them.
This set up sounded pretty darn good but I found myself missing that K402 presence, so I then ordered a a pair
of K402 / K691 and stands to go atop the FH-1s.
Again, with Chris's help to dial them in, I am very happy with the performance.
In an other room, I have a pair of rough looking La Scalas that I am planning to refurbish this spring.
Although they are a little hard on the eyes right now, they do play fine and I am sure after I replace the Type AL crossover
with a nicely built Type AA and maybe upgrade to something like Dave's tweeter, they will be quite nice.
I am in Newmarket, ON which is about 45 minutes or so north of Toronto.
You would be welcome to come hear my set-up(s) if you like.

Thanks Carl and Wardsweb!
I have been lurking around Dude's thread here as I am still trying to decide what sub boxes to build with the 4 LAB12s that I recently picked up.
Claude hooked me up with the LAB12 TH plans that he has used, they look like a very easy way to get 4 great subs in my room,
which is for Stereo music only.
No doubt the DST10 is a more superior sub, that will play lower, but 4 of the LAB12TH could trump 2: DST10s... ???

Was that the Danley kit Luther?
I "think" it was one of the Danley kits?
If so, did the kit come with any damping material... or have instruction to add it?

Are those 18x10s? They sure look like the ones I bought off eBay that Chris recommended to me. Pretty inexpensive, an can handle a 2" horn driver.

The horns are Klipsch K510s, with Faital HF-200 compression drivers.

But, as Tom stated, deviating from the standard will require sorting out your crossover.
My 2 set-ups above, both utilize an active xover (Xilica, XP4080) with DSP to make them shine.

Or, really big, and stay off the porch... Same FH1s with K402s.

Go big, or go home... Peavey FH1s (La Scala wonabes) with K510s as 2way.

I was lucky enough to see Richard Thompson in October here in Toronto were he did a solo acoustic show that was amazing!!!
The last time I saw him was about 6 years or so ago, also a solo show, but electric.
He mostly played that pastel green... I think Fender.
Unbelievable player, plugged in or acoustic.

I am running the Peaveys as 2-way with the K402, the K510s in the centre top hat are not being used right now.
The F20 is is to the left of where this pic was taken.
For the F20, I have the XLS1500 being feed from the Wyred 4 Sound preamp's extra XLR output, using the Crown's Xover, not the Xilica.
I am guessing the best way would be to use one of the remaining open XP4080 outputs to run the sub amp(s)
You may notice, on top of the HIP, you will see a Crown D75A.
I have a 2nd one sitting on the shelf, but I doubt these 2 would have enough power to drive the 4 LAB12 subs?
Could probably pick up a 2nd XLR1500 for a couple hundred bucks on FeaBay.

Here is how the system sits as of right now...

Hey Claude,
Not sure how well you remember my basement room, but at 15'x20' I think I could probably shoehorn four of the designs you suggest into the room.
With my current F20, I have it running with a Crown XLS1500 bridged and crossover'd around 60 along side my FH1s / K402s.
The Peavey / 402s are xover'd via my Xilica XP4080, thanks to Chris A's guidance and setup.
What do you think might be the best way to Xover and power 4 of these subs in my room?
-
My memory is not what it should be, sucks getting old, but was the Spud and or Super Spud built around the LAB12 driver?
I did a google search, but I did not come up with plans for either of those.
-
Thanks guys for the suggestions so far!
I agree that the Tuba 60(s) would be killer subs, but the size of these B#ggers might be an issue for my room.
And my room is in the basement, which is a chore to lug big boxes down into.
My F20 was a struggle and then my Jub clones were a real B!t@h to get up and down the stairs, even with four guys!
Claude's plans look to be much more manageable to build and transport to the basement.
The multiple sub technique is also what Wayne Parham endorses, hence why I original thought of going with 4 of his 3Pi subs.
-
Yesterday I came across 4 used Eminence LAB 12 drivers that I ended up getting.
It's not that I needed them but at $400cnd for the quad, I figured, what the hey.
I first thought I might build 4 of Wayne Parham's 3Pi subs... they are a 20"x20"x20" box with a 4" round by 16" long port.
Then I did a little reading on the LAB12 and it seems they might be well suited to a horn loaded cabinet.
I already have one F20 sub and two Exodus Anarchy 6.5" 25hz tapped horn subs, that really work nicely,
so I do understand what horn sub base is all about.
Anybody with any experience with the LAB12s... Calling Carl, Claude, Jason ?

They call it "poor man's oak". It's very nice though. Looks great, drills out well, hold screws, doesn't split - hard to beat this stuff.
And, Ash makes for a great ⚾️ bat as well.
Looking good Dean!

It's go time, 9th inning.
Upgrade path advice, k510/k402/mwm questions.

I do have both and would not say like a toy.
There is no doubt the 402 sits atop the mountain but the 510 is no slouch.
With that said, I first got 402s a few years ago, never even hearing a pair before. to go atop a pair of Jub-like bass bins I built.
After dialing in the Xilica Xover, I was blown away with what I heard.
I made a huge mistake in selling these Jub-likes!
Later on I decided to refurbished a pair of Peavey FH-1 bins and built top hats to house a pair of 510s.
This combo sounds VERY good... but after experiencing what the 402 can do I felt myself missing just a bit.
So, I purchase another set of K402s, as seen on pic.
The 510 has manny of the same virtuous of the 402, but the big horn does have a much larger sound stage, in all four directions.
It also seems to deliver the music with less effort... size does matter.
My room is 15ft by 20ft with speakers on the short wall with about 8ft of space between,
I sit approx. 11ft away from the centre.
