timdog5000 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Like THIS? I seen that one Carl, there is a guy in St. Louis who has a boom tomb for sale, which I'm sure is not as good as the Niles. I've also seen one called the Sub sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 How did it sound? I've never heard one but it's a neat concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Those underground subs are pretty cool. Curious to how they sound? I am thinking of something that would be weather proof that I could possibly attach to the underside of the deck. Looked at some marine application stuff but don't think they would be applicable. More for a 12V system. Would like something my dogs can't get to, hence under the deck. Saw this http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-AM3386--Atrium-Speaker/dp/B0027G3E6W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425763888&sr=8-2&keywords=OUTDOOR+SUBWOOFER ...but again, I like the idea of actually attaching something under the deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy is thinking of getting one for his yard, the Niles that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I designed but never built this. It was to sport 4-15" Kicker S15L74 drivers. 131db at 17Hz groundplane. Realistically it was more like 127db because of cone excursion issues around 23Hz. Edited March 8, 2015 by mustang guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I tried an in-ground IB sub, but a guy in China kept filling in the hole at his end. Sounded great while it lasted. Edited March 8, 2015 by DizRotus 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 4-15" Kicker S15L74 drivers bet that would certainly take care of any mole problems!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I built a small sub for my patio using a marine grade Polk driver. I figured they are designed for boat use so would hold up pretty well. I built a sealed box out of plywood and painted with dura tex from parts express and it has held up well. I am just starting my second summer with it and all is good. I have the amp inside. Ikeep it under a table so it wont get direct rain or sunlight. Sounds very good and adds a nice low end boost to some small Definitive Tech outdoor speakers. Not audiophile but much nicer than most patio sound systems. I dont see any reason it wouldn't work under the deck as well. You still might want to crawl under there and bring it in for the winter.

DrWho Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Why not build the deck to be a giant horn loaded subwoofer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. An Auto Tuba needs cabin gain for low frequencies. They are designed for cars. They aren't even any good in a room, let alone outdoors.

twk123 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I tried an in-ground IB sub, but a guy in China kept filling in the hole at his end. Sounded great while it lasted. Since most of the drivers are made in china anyway, you could probably just have someone drop it down the hole then screw it in from the front and save on shipping... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
