Will be going into my new apartment, once I get in and setup I will post the full system!
 
Just finished, first build

First try at a DIY sub build. 2x12" basic, vented design. ~8cu.ft. minus bracing/stuffing. Will be refitting with 500W and 2x12" Dayton RSS315HFA-8 12" (unless I can find a better set to sim with my box, suggestions?).


Went for the least assuming look I could.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

12" MIVOC Speakers in vented enclosures.

Mainspeakers are also DIY from me, they are clones of the italian factory Sonus Faber.

Please apologize my bad english language!

The Speaker mounting is really as shown, magnet side top.

Wish you a good night, in germaniy is it 10 pm.

Please apologized my bad english language.

Tuba HT with the Dayton RSS390HF-4 driver. I could only afford a 300W (~200 actual) bash plate amp at the time. It's probably underpowered...but it has no trouble quaking the room.

The woofer fires down into the throat section, it's not tapped. I mounted the amp on the panel for convenience. I have a second panel with terminals so I can use a better amp externally if I wanted to later. The plate amp is well sealed and doesn't cause any problems.

I built it 24" wide... For the room it was going in I didn't need to go any wider.

@focal: The performance is very, very good. With the 200W amp it easily matched the output of my 500W eDesigns A5-350. It's not as musical as a lot of direct radiator subs I've heard but that's not a big issue for HT use. I get in-room response down to about 16Hz.
