Downfiring Tuba home theater (THTLP)

The THT works best with a boundary, floor, ceiling, wall or corner.

 

Downfiring just uses the floor for the boundary.

 

Works best 16"-24" horn mouth to boundary so the 18" leg height works well.

 

Its for myself.

Yeah. I have both of mine 12" from the wall, and both are in corners. I did some sweeps with REW and saw no difference in 18" vs 12". I like how they look better at 12", so that's where they stayed.

I can't wait to see the final product man!

Mine sits in the corner 10" from the front wall and 2" from the side wall. Mouth is 2.5 feet from boundary. After a lot of experimenting with placement/location this worked best in my room.

 

Mine is the 18x15x72 'slim' THTLP.

By all means use what works best for you in your room.

 

My old 24" THT worked great right between the La Scala's with the horn mouth pointed right at me.

 

Schu, the THT & THTLP sound the same, really good. If you can fit one into your room layout and crave clean bass notes its a win-win situation.

Subscribed I just bought the plans for both the TUBA HT and the THTLP not sure which way to go just yet.

Can't go wrong either way. I think the LP is a bit more difficult due to the length?? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Not saying it's a hard build, just more difficult then the THT. I had no problem building my THT, and was planning on building a second THT until I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

Was hoping to get some more work done today but an old neck injury is bothering me (pinched nerve).

 

Must have slept wrong or sneezed too hard or something, i don't know.

 

Anyways i hope to get back to work soon.

 

Something for you to look at while i recover.
