I did this planset in 2018 and very few know about them so i thot i should post the plans.

Not really subWoofers, but this is the best section to put them in.

This woofer is really cheap and a really decent performer, but difficult to get outside North America. If you need some bass help, in something small that sounds good this may be something of interest.

This is the same woofer we use in Tysen V2.

Thanks for sharing Dave. I have 2 queries - (1) Can we see any more details like F3, max power etc., for the various designs? and (2) Do you have any designs using Silver Flute W17RC38-04 6.5" drivers? I use these. They are more efficient and sound amazing.
 
I was not overly impressed with the sims i got for the larger ones, so never invesigated them. And i’d rather use 2 x W14 than a single W17.

F3 is a meaningless number to humans, XOIng it the active XO will appreciate knowing F3.

Scott’s ML-TL is something like 35 Hz in room, estimate of the reflexes is low 40s, smaller ones not quite as much.

Max power, i don’t care. Mostly meaningless.

I used to use the W17s in my car audio system. Measured t/s parameters were Ok, but don't really match the published specs. The older drivers ended up with a higher Fs, maybe a heat-related issue.
