CECAA850 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Looks like a whole different sub now. Kind of how I envisioned it. All of the prep work, sanding and filling all come together. Great job. I'll have to figure out something else to hound you about now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 its horrible. i cant differentiate between sub and mains when playing music. action movies wont stop vibrating everything in my house. movies in general sound far too dynamic and my system doesn't strain nearly enough to replicate sound. friends won't stop being impressed and jealous. and i didn't spend nearly enough money to get a sub of such horrible performance. That's too bad, all that hard work for nothing =^( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 The horn is tuned to 20Hz but you're still getting some output below that, especially corner loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 very good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFL Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 and the project is now complete.. That is one of my all time favourite finish textures. Awesome Colour. Having the speaker a feature works very well in that corner. It's like painting fire pipes red rather than trying to hide them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 thanks! the color is tuxedo black and what we've been using to wainscot the house. the sub's size makes it very hard to truly blend in, so you're right - might as well make it a monolithic feature.

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Adelaide will learn very early, and without any room for misunderstanding, that certain items in the house are not to be touched. I house-proof my child, not child-proof my house (with the exception of wall plug covers and locking away household cleaners/chemicals).

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh and BTW.. I finally watched Flight of the Phoenix yesterday. That sandstorm is indeed a HT stress test - the sub performed awesomely, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Time to put the paddles to this one... Carl and Ron (Lonelobo) will gather at my house this coming Saturday to see how far we can get in assembling the F-20 Carl helped (OK, did the bulk of the work on) us cut at his home last summer. Should be fun. Hope the weather continues to cooperate as it's AWESOME here the past couple of weeks. A mild front with rain on Wednesday, but hopefull the weekend will be nice. Should be a fun day, and I look forward to getting this beastie on line. Already wondering about how to get it upstairs... Film at eleven. Will try to get plenty shots for upload here.

CECAA850 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the thread LIVES!!! Should be fun, looking forward to it. How are you going to finish it Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 fortunately my wife absolutely loves it and isn't bothered by the size. i can't imagine a scenario where I would need to switch to any different or perceivably better. sure, there's plenty of content below 20hz these days but I definitely don't feel like I'm missing out. it's definitely a keeper and high on my recommendation list for anyone who has the time, space, and confidence to put one together. Some men have no woman to worry about, some men have a tolerant wife, but the best scenario is having a wife who loves movies and music as much as you do and showing it all off to friends and family is routine. AFAIK, most Commercial Movie Plex subs in American Malls don't go below 25 Hz. so at 20Hz. you already are ahead of the game. My sub is a slimmer version of the 30x60" dimension, only 14" thick instead of your 21". Because it's a tapped horn, it goes to 15Hz. and shakes floors and walls in a huge commercial space. I can only imagine what an straight horn loaded 18" driver does, which is should be about 3-6 db more output, lots of gasps and OMG's from your guests. I would probably need to build a second one to get close to your output capability. Hmmmmm sounds like a new plant to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 How are you going to finish it Dave? Leaning towards black formica. Won't worry with that for a while. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
