What type of outdoor measurements would you all like to see? I don’t have the biggest space available, but IMO good enough for some needed EQ info, in order to cross over higher than 70Hz while still sounding great.
I have a borrowed measurement mic and installed REW on my laptop. Havent tried a measurement yet though.
I have a fairly wide open backyard and plan to take measurements when i am done painting (did get to sand and round the corners today)
Crescendo, what are you using for mid/hi?

I recommend to brace the mouth with 3 small pieces of 18mmx50mm width x (length of bottom/left/right)
Like so:
This will really help control the flex of the mouth and adds small positive impact on output and frequency response. It also lessen the effect of a walking cabinet and also adds strength to the construction.

Interesting suggestion...also provides mounting for a grill if I decide to add one.
I did extend the length of the center brace due to the other cabinet walking a bit the one time I did get to play it loud.

Yes you can set it back 5mm but also add a small brace for the upper part (woofer baffle) cut at the angle of the baffle degree to add the grill.
if you put a slight curve in the gril ,it wil gain much strengt in one direction.
in the other direction i would put an extra piece of timber/broomstick between the walls. just my 2 cents

Here are some plots, first measurements ever. Out on pool deck, 30ft from house, sub pointed out over grass. Moved subs out of the way from one another when taking measurements to avoid interference. DBX mic 15-20ft from sub on the ground. Not calibrated for SPL at all.
I did a set of measurements with 27Hz LPF and 296Hz HPF and a set with 27Hz LPF and 80Hz HPF, with an additional plot with the LPF turned off.
Measurements were taken at a moderate volume.
I did a comparison between the two boxes to see what the difference was due to a slight build mistake on the first enclosure.

In the top front of the cabinet, lined up the wrong side of the panel with the 5 1/2 inch dimension. With all the panels in place other than the 2nd side when I discovered it, I just went with it.....
Also, 2nd one still needs duratex but wanted to use it for (low background music) for a get together....figured I'd take a pic.
Did a couple short duration volume checks (8 ohm drivers on bridged inuke 3000) and it was tremendous.
Havent been as excited about the way the tops sound but they were strictly a budget experiment and likely replaced as I keep piecing this system together.

tnx 4 the plots.
this is more a collaborated design,so creddits go to all who contributed.
i would like to know its lowest minimum excursion point.
all you need 4 that is a frequenty generator,put your finger on the cone and you wil feel were it is.
it should be in the low 30's
this is helpfull to determen the hpf,and also translation back to the sim.
verry nicely done

I will do this next time I have them hooked up. Currently they are back in the "paint department" for duratex.
Did this design ever have a name? It would be nice to be able to refer to that when telling people...I have been generally referring to it by "mega sub" to my very tolerant wife as well as my friends....
Also, may end up building a couple more. The funny thing is I don't have a planned use for it, mostly nostalgia from 20 yrs ago having a PA and throwing parties/raves. No desire for late nights anymore....need to find a way to use it for mid day events.

For some reason I was thinking that was referring to the other configuration that was discussed at length....but that's what I will call it. Thanks again to everyones hard work here!
Can one of you experts run a simulation for the 18LW2400?
I'm trying to figure out if this is a worthwhile design for my drivers.
Thanks
