Well fellas, the wife noticed the sub is tearing up the crib last night when I turned on the loft/stair lights and the paint chippings in the Lower Level/Bonus Room.
Here is a crack above the Master Bedroom entrance. This the same wall the sub is up against in the LL/BR.
Here are cracks in the opposite corner from the sub.

Here is the sub corner. Note, the sub is being powered by an old Yamaha HTR-5730 that I got a couple weeks ago from installing 2 HTS in 1 of my father's co-worker's house. The digital processing doesn't work, but the analog does work!

I took the box to my son's graduation party last Sunday. The party house has a home theater room (which I didn't know about). I positioned the box dead center under the movie screen, firing left. EVERYONE was tripping how the sub pressurized the room! When I got home, I put the box back in the corner firing toward the tv. The frequency response sounds flatter and intergrates better with the main speakers. Firing into the corner plays lower louder, but firing in the opposite direction has more midbass since the Sony STR-DH710 has the sub output fixed at 120hz & below. I'm still using the Yamaha HTR-5730 to power the sub.
I hear ya,
I've been having fun this last few weeks with a similar tapped horn, you need to get yours outside where the sensation of pressure is similar but there are no noises from the room or standing waves to mess with the bass.
OTOH we did stick my box in the back of a minivan and push it into the mid 140dB range. Bass so loud it activated the power locks and we had to break in, the rear windows were burping air at the seals due to the flex so we duct taped them down tight. Good times

I've thought about testing it in my truck.

Have you seen the blow thru's on diyma? That's what you NEED to do with that box
Though PB has good argument for any sub that uses the rear wave not pressurising the cabin below box tuning as the sub no longer "sees" the enclosure..
Hello. I just joined up due to stumbling on this thread. I too am using a L7 15 as my home theater sub since it was just sitting around. I contacted kicker and they came up with a 5.5 cuft ported tuned to 25 hz. It does pretty good. But now i see this and want to try it!! Now my very noob question is i would like to do this with only one fold as ive got all the room i need for a tall or long sub box. Ive only just begun to poke around in the world of horns. Could someone please give me a rendering of how i should build this? It would be very much appreciated. Also, not sure how much difference it will make but mine is the first model ever made so like an 04 i believe. Dual 2 ohm coils. Thank you!!
