wth718 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Monstrous! can't wait till you chop down some redwoods to make an enclosure for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nice, that looks like a beast! Are you tempted to do a similar build to the ported XXX with the Polk vent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Wish I hadn't gotten rid of that enclosure now...LOL. A little undersized for it at 25cubes and a 10" vent but still would have been enough to gauge how much damage it could do. I could have cut a new hole for the driver and went at it. Building one from scratch? Eh...No. Good news is it looks like Nick is going to be able to get a 12-13 cube sealed enclosure sent for it with the help of another guy.

MemX Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh and guys you can't post at DB without a cool avatar pic. lol Give me perhaps 3 weeks and hopefully my PPSL build will be complete and picture worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambesolman Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Should be nice. I heard one at Beast's gtg and was astounded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrasonic Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Haha! Loved this part: There is no reason you could not make a vented alignment for this driver the size of a walk in closet, with a 12" sewer pipe port tuned down near the resonance of the Earth. I hope someone does but it will be enormous. F**k yeah I wanna see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mfusick Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Or I guess you could do the easy way. Use a full sheet MDF for the sides, front and back- half sheet for the top and bottom. 8feet x 8feet x 4 feet. You won't even need to cut the wood... haha.... Slot port from another couple sheets. 6 sheets total. $35 x 6 = $210. But the awesomeness could be priceless. Port it at 13hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 You should create a monster horn for that bad boy with a low tune. It could potentially by the most epic single subwoofer ever made. It would require around a 275 cuft horn for a 15Hz tune. You would get >126dB from 15Hz on up with less than 1000W in 2Pi space. Put 4 of them wall loaded in the largest auditorium you can imagine and it will fill it with >143dB from 15Hz on up, for only 4000W of amp power. At 10Hz, you drop off to 'only' 127dB.

JSS Woah... that sounds like the perfect way to sell sub-20Hz output for 'cheap' to commercial cinemas! Except enclosure size and folding the horn would be an issue, I imagine...

maxmercy Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Enclosure size is the problem...you would have to build on-site.. Folding is easy comparatively. The labor involved in constructing this is non-trivial. That's 4 high dollar drivers in even higher dollar enclosures, only to save $$ on amp power... Most cinemas would not see it as a good deal. It would be better to use eight smaller 15" or 18" driven horns simply due to size and complexity. But then you are also talking about a lot of manpower to build the horns. The manpower is the highest piece of the cost. That's why Danley products cost so much. Sure, they use good drivers that add to the cost, but those enclosures are not thrown together in a few minutes. JSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good points! One day I will find the money and skill to build a high-end, small-capacity, full-bandwidth commercial cinema, but it won't be for a while... lol (And I'm not even sure I'd have the customer base to appeal to and make any money off it!!)

maxmercy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I would love to renovate an old single-screen cinema in a small town (on the town square) and do the same thing. But I also have the same concerns. JSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
