| Here is the inside. The internal port support is not necessary (I have since tested the strength without it). |

| This is the raw top plug with port glue in, but no top cap. |

Tube is sized for 15" driver. This is my Tempest.
Base design may change. I'm thinking about tube legs, and a single (per leg) through bolt to hold it all together. |

Hi,
What driver is being offered in the kit?
Cheers,
Rob. |

| What are you offering in the kit, and what makes it a group buy rather than a kit sale? ;) |

There is no driver yet. People can source their own or we may get together and do a group buy of something if that is possible.
I fancy the TCSounds 3000 http://www.tcsounds.com/tc3000.htm and I've asked for a price for 8 shipped to UK. But they are not replying to my emails, which seems a common trait among subwoofer manufacturers for some reason.
I've also asked Adire for a price for 8 Brahmas, but need to establish what the OEM terms are etc. Once again, no one seems keen to make a sale! |

The kit is everything (or less if you don't want it all) to make the enclosure.
Plus maybe a driver group buy.
It's a group buy because a) I haven't got all the bits yet b) I won't make any profit (although I will cut my losses by not throwing away my cardboard tubes). |

I've just read Bill Collo's vent pages, quite an investigation!
Anyway, if you like to experiment, with a sonosub it is easy and neat to build the port into the top cap and then it can be swapped with a diiferent port design at will.
I may have to invest in a 25mm roundover bit so I can offer something a bit more manly than 10mm radius 'flare'. |

| Just checked the wiki, 0% interest. How come? |

| Mad About Sound have the Tempest 15 in stock which may be a suitable driver to go with the project. |
