bracurrie Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Been a month here as well since recieving the kits. I will report on when they come together. Quote
CECAA850 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 I can't gripe at any of you guys. My builds take forever. Quote
Scrappydue Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Mine have been built forever and I played with them some. But then I bought all that other gear so they have been sitting in the bedroom closet. I can say they sound fantastic but with the four 18's I feel myself wanting to build 2 more. But I am gonna try one in the from corner and one right behind my couch before I do that Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Long thread, but, looks like an easy, inexpensive build, compared to the THT. If you have 2, is it possible they might go a bit lower??? Quote
CECAA850 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 If you have 2, is it possible they might go a bit lower??? Louder, not lower. 1 Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks, that's prolly low enough, anyway. Quote
Scrappydue Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Mine will be for sale very soon. Wanted try em out but they aren't exactly what I'm looking for. But man are they clean. I really wanna try out a larger horn sub. Just no room for it right now. Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Have seen the flat-packs. How much does it cost to build 1, about, please? Quote
DizRotus Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) A single unit, including construction materials, would be well below $200. The PayPal transaction details pertaining to a single unit are pasted below. I ended up ordering a second almost immediately, so Erich gave me a break on the shipping for the second one.

Sancho Panza Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks, DR. Prolly do 2, right off the bat. Quote
DizRotus Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I purchased a pair of used Dayton 240 (now discontinued) plate amps, but I've not powered the subs up yet. They're functionally complete at my warehouse, but I want to get them painted in Duratex prior to letting my wife see them. There's been no time to complete to WAF status, even though they're headed to my basement office. The Dayton amps were modified pursuant to the recommendations of Lilmike (the designer of the sub). Initially, I'll try a single amp powering both subs with a summed signal and then compare that to each sub powered separately by a separate Dayton 240. Eventually, I'll share the results, when (if) time permits. 1 Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks, my Wife will only want to know when we'll build her a pair & will help build; or, even better yet, help, by not helping. Quote
BLSamuel Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks, my Wife will only want to know when we'll build her a pair & will help build; or, even better yet, help, by not helping. Your wife wants to build her a "pair". Didn't know those were DIY... oh, never mind. A pair of subwoofers. Even better Sancho. You've got a keeper. Most wives or girlfriends don't care much about sound quality. These do seem like a good first build one's own subwoofer. Quote
Sancho Panza Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 What are the dimensions of this unit? Thank you. Hard to look through all the pages on an iPhone. Quote
DizRotus Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 What are the dimensions of this unit? Thank you. Hard to look through all the pages on an iPhone. The dimensions are 8.25 Wide x 30.0 Tall x 20.125 Deep as indicated in page 2 of the attached pdf details.pdf Quote
DizRotus Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 They sound great. They go deep, as expected, and the SPL is better than expected. For now, they're powered by a single Dayton 240. The low level signals from both channels are summed by the amp to a single output. The pair of 8 ohm subs are paralleled to show a 4 ohm load. They're being used as stands for small single driver BR enclosures. Eventually, I'll experiment with various locations, such as side by side. I also plan to try two amps for true stereo bass, rather than summed mono bass. I'll also try them in my HT system to see how they compare to the larger DIY KEF B139 TL subs. They're not yet wearing their Duratex finish, so there are no photos. Quote
CECAA850 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 It's truly amazing that this box with a 6 1/2" driver will go lower than any of the Heritage speakers with 15's. If you put them in a HT environment make sure you have some type of high pass filter on them. Quote
TheEAR Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Tapped horns bring the most SPL in the usable range out of drivers, drivers as small as 6" will astound with high clean high SPL. A good few have build monster performers using 12" Eminence sub drivers. If you can allow a larger (or long/tall)box and can cut and assemble the cabinet properly. Then you get tremendous output per dollar. Quote
