Unbelivable output for a 6" driver at acceptable levels. have 1 already built, another one on the way. Using the PE Bash 300 amp. This thing goes deep.
I'm HOOKED on this tapped horn concept. A tapped horn using the LAB12 is in the works.
Construction took a bit longer than anticipated - actually, starting construction consumed more time than the build itself, but this was intended as a proof-of-concept run before attempting the Mikasas. Learned a fair bit too, so even without the new sub it would have been a good exercise (Table saw 101 and a new appreciation of biscuit joiners).
But to business:
I tossed up between the 30 and 38Hz versions and settled on the 30. I was a bit dubious about the material thickness specified, but kept to the plan. Now it is finished, the amount of resonance in the box is a definite worry. I substituted ply for the original MDF - maybe this was a mistake, maybe I just need thicker ply....
Even in it's "un-broken-in" form, this thing digs deep! I want to let it loosen it up a bit before passing final judgment, but so far I like it. I don't know if the quantity (SPL) of bass is enough for HT work, but the quality is certainly there. Maybe I just need to use more of them 😀
