Thaddeus Smith Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm still waiting for details on the trade-in/upgrade service. In all fairness, the F-20 is already more sub than I need... But it sure is fun to drool over a new build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant0086 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The driver is a 15" Alpine that will be powered by a bridged Crown that should give it a clean 1200 watts. Jeeez dude !! unless that driver has a sensitivity of 70 or so, that thing needs to be at a concert venue, not home theater. That thing is going to rattle the pictures off the wall. Having said that, I would love to have one. >~ Bryant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant0086 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Time to add a random panel. Ha ha ha, that thing is so monstrous, why not just insert a random panel eh ? ^___^ Bryant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant0086 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Carl I looked at how fast the build was going at it only took a few minutes to read all the comment and look at the pic's. This reminds me of Home Time, the DIY home guys. They can build 1/2 a house in a half hour. I just thought you would enjoy a little humor with this build. Nice work! Tell me about it. I sort of hate to go off-topic here, but I can't help myself because my 1992 240SX convertible needs a new top. The upholstry shops want a small fortune to do it. I looked it up online and man it looks like an hour job........ the guy said expect 8 hours to do it..... that being reasonably skilled with tools etc. Looks so simple when folks post pictures and such though..........

mustang guy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Carl, You might as well start on the second one. You know he'll be wanting a pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I wish I could build that fast. If I posted my progress in real time, the thread would hit the second page of the subwoofer section every time I posted a picture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 One thing I always do is put a link up in case anyone wants to build one of these and I forgot to. The link below will take you to the original thread where the sub was designed. It has plans, recommended drivers, cut sheets, etc. Once again thanks to Lil Mike at the AVS Forum for another awesome design.

CECAA850 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Carl, You might as well start on the second one. You know he'll be wanting a pair. I've got to put up the saw for a while as I have some time consuming projects to undertake around the house. I'll probably get the itch to build something in the fall or maybe winter.

Schu Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Wow... awhat an amazing unit. What would happen to the wave form in the throat if those internal bracings were somehow lightened? So we wnet straight from 6" to 15"... what about a mid sized 12"er? Edited February 20, 2015 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 So we wnet straight from 6" to 15"... what about a mid sized 12"er? This is a dual 12 sealed I built. If your talking about a 12" tapped horn, I haven't done that yet but there's some nice plans out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What would happen to the wave form in the throat if those internal bracings were somehow lightened? The bracing really doesn't take up that much space in the general scheme of things. The trade off with no bracing is panel vibration which would greatly reduce output and be an audio annoyance.

CECAA850 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 What would happen to the wave form in the throat if those internal bracings were somehow lightened? The braces make very little, if no, difference to the wave form so I doubt it would make any difference.

I see... makes perfect sense. I was thinking more of what about if the bracing had circles or triangles of material taken out so that the bracing was more of a spine than a solid piece. I was just curious... I am sure this is an amazing piece that would look great in any home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I asked Carl a very similar question via PM and simply regurgitated his response here to further pad my ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more of what about if the bracing had circles or triangles of material taken out so that the bracing was more of a spine than a solid piece. Window pane bracing is very popular. I normally don't do it as typically everything I build is set it and forget it. They're normally not moved often or ever. Window pane bracing is more work but it does lighten the build. I might have saved 10 lbs but if you're moving something, you really wouldn't notice the difference between say 250 lbs vs 260 lbs. If this was for gigging I'd try and do everything possible to lighten it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
