New TL subs

After being a general nuisance with lots of questions on the forums for the past few months, I finally have something to contribute

Behold, my new stereo transmission line subs!

More pics coming shortly

What driver is that?

MCM 55-1480 ...about $30 (£18)

Despite being a cheapo, it works well

Bass is fast and deep. One song hit about 20Hz at one point. Very impressive performance for such a cheap driver

Things I need to do

1. Figure out why one sub sounds slightly different to the other (probably a placement issue, or a difference between the drivers)

2. Put stuffing in the TL. At the moment there's nothing, despite this it isn't boomy at all.

3. Finish my active XO to integrate them properly. They're running full range at the moment, with just the tweeters of the bookshelf speakers wired up in parallel! As horrific as it sounds, it doesn't sound too bad

The clean look of the woodworking is due to the fact that I didn't do much of it, my good friend helped

UPDATE

I'm now running them properly crossed over and they sound fantastic

They're very musical and go nice and deep

plans ?

They're very simple to make

So simple that I didn't need any plans, but I can quickly draw some on the computer if you want

It may well be worth putting the plans on a website, it's such a simple design and so far seems to be a very effective
