Wrong about your subs?  You make me laugh.

 

 

The trim looks outstanding.

Don't start laughing yet! high priority on portability, so I will grade on a curve. Speaking of curves. This is the model for this driver using 600 watts (which I already have) in the small ported cabinet I will be building. Lay that curve over a LS and it looks very good (music only). There are also two of these, but they will be trying to keep up with 4 LSi's!

Music only you say. 

 

The frequency response won't be the issue and depending on overall playing level output MAY not be a problem.  Your ported subs will simply have more distortion that the horn loaded subs.  The louder you go, the more evident it will be.  I'd be amazed if you didn't hear a difference when comparing the two as you're already familiar with the horn loaded sub sound.  Will the ported ones work?  Absolutely.  Will it make a difference to the casual listener?  Probably not.  Will ported subs be better than no subs at all?  100% yes.

 

Keep us posted.

Keep us posted.

More key variables to be considered:

The audience is typically old men with a certain degree of hearing loss.

We sit about 50 yards away sitting by a bonfire drinking moonshine.

Plus, we have also been drinking all day.

Are you picking up what I am putting down?

We are usually asleep by the time the police find us.

You will fit in fine at SWAG 2, if we ever find a venue for the next one.  Weren't you checking your area?  That way, you can bring your drinking rig to compare to the other ones.  LOL

The THTLP is large enough to have tap handles. Hmmm.

Either way, if I go to SWAG, you and your THTLP are going!

Back to HIP:

Welded up on the corners, still need to buff the welds down, but glad I was forced into doing it.

@MookieStl, really well done, thanks for sharing your build. As a Heresy fan, and looking forward to building a set maybe later this year, it’s great to see this type of amazing work. The capacitors are outstanding especially how they made your coffee mug grow!
