jwc Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I can't find on the site what the Hole cutout is. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hopefully he makes a go of it with this business, very cool. Always thought Erich at DIYsoundgroup offerings were nice but limited especially after Stonehenge and the anarchy went defunct. Maybe this guy will do an F20 flatpack, that would be really cool.

The "wood screws" from parts express are more coarse and worked way better. They really grab the wood. Anyway.

jwc Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 OK. So we don't have the cutout, but looks like the Dayton driver is suggested on the website. So the Dayton has similar cutout requirements like Eminence and B&C. I assume Mods would be needed for the oversized 18"s like SI, RE, Mach5.

I'm gonna pull the trigger on something with this company. They are just starting up full retail to the public, but have been doing this for years. Reasonably priced as well. I don't think I can go wrong here.

I drilled a 1/32" pilot and they work like charm. LTD02 John is one of the legends over on AVS forum. The DIY sub / speaker forum over there is totally legit. You really don't have to post much on it because there are so many threads if you do enough research you can generally find what you are looking for.

MEH Synergy Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Looks like all that will fit comfortably is a pair of the marty cubes. Any opinions on whether a pair of those would be able to best my pair of JBL SRX718S subs? A Crown K2 in stereo or bridged mono are my options to power them. Thanks. Music only. No HT.

Very different subs for different purposes. The JBL are pro sound subs made for peak output in a large room, auditorium or open stage. Likely need to be high passed around 30-45 Hz to avoid being blown to bits from overexcursion. The Martysubs are made for home theater and will not get as loud but will dig deeper than the JBL's.
