I guess it'll be a way to retaliate when my landlord's kid won't stop thumping/running around downstairs....
Thanks guys. The bracing actually turned out to be made from all the left over cut pieces of the two sheets of Baltic. Along with the second front face panel. Glad I didn't have to cut into my spare sheet, who knows what it will be used for?
almost there!
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
sanded, rounded edges and pre stained
stained espresso to match the rest of the stuff i made
driver in place...finally found its home
All finished! just fired it up. no listening impressions yet, i have to wait to break it in and really turn it up (when no one is home)

I know I keep thinking the same thing! I know (from moving it up the stairs) that this thing is huge, but in the pics it looks small
I literally listened to it for 2 mins at a low volume. I'll run some sine waves through it when no one is home and see how she does, maybe add some EQ with the mini dsp. Then I'll throw in a blu ray and crank it up!

Well I had 2 12's but they weren't tuned low ebought for HT (which is what this system is strictly used for)
And once I saw this new Dayton driver I really wanted to try it out! For $250 plus two sheets of 18mm Baltic ($130ish) you can't beat this really. Well with some EQ as well to boost the low end roll off from a sealed box. But it's a great setup for the $. For any $ actually even twice that price!

I think I set the high pass at 15hz? With a sealed enclosure its not *as* critical as a horn or BR where excursion increases rapidly. Excursion still rises in the lower octaves but not as rapidly.
I wanted the full 20Hz from this box...at low listening levels. If I was really abusing this, I'd be more careful with the high pass, set limiters in the DSP etc. but as Josh pointed out, this driver has plenty of xmech to play around with, even if Xmax is only 12mm or so.
The amp is pretty powerful, 1500rms at 4 ohms.... clean power? I'm guessing 1000-1200or so with low distortion.
