Hi everyone,
I am 21 years old and will finish carpentry school this year in Amsterdam. I started enjoying sound systems after going to a party of kantarion. I was pulled in to the world of sound en subwoofers. I started cooking up a plan in my head of what I wanted. I knew it needed to be bass heavy but also pleasant for the ears. In the 3 years my school takes I did multipel internships. one was at Solosound. This is an electrostatic speaker maker in the Netherlands. This is where I learned to really listen to music and what it takes to make it sound good. sadly you can not use electrostatic speakers in a club setting because of the moister that builds up from sweating people. An other internship I did was at the Fiction Factory, this is where I learned to use a 5 axis cnc.
I was talking with IVCU from kantarion about what kind of tops I wanted and my first idea was the classic X-tro. but ended up choosing the JMODS from John White. this was because I liked the idea of a meh. I still have acces to the cnc and I already used it in a prototype I made of the meh jmod. was super nice to do all the weird angels easy peasy with the saw on the cnc. so now that I choose the tops I was looking at what kind of sub/ kick bin. JW did say in the paper that a kick bin won't be needed but I am planning on mostly playing EDM so kickheavy music and what I like about kantarion is the punchiness.
I was looking into the NNNN sub that goes down to 16 hz and was like yesss infra subwoofers is what I want. After some digging I found the Mforce drivers from powersoft. I looked at them and was like what the f*ck is this. got pulled into the idea of a system that is really special. so I contacted a distributer that had them. he was super nice and gave me the email of ALL, he is working on a diy design for the mforces. Went to visit ALL this weekend and was super nice talking to him and sharing details. because I still have acces to the cnc I am planning on making multipel prototypes out of mdf for the MFORCEs. (the tapped horn of ALL, standerd EDM sub and DV sub from powersoft.) currently writing this is the car on our way back to nl with the Mforce drivers in the back. I am here on diyAudio to share my findings with everyone about the drivers and the measurements from the boxes, about the road I am taking for the system. (also get some help if I don't understand anymore.) did not choose on kick bin yet because I maybe want a 2x15 or a few singel 18s, this will all depend on how loud the big boys wil get. I will be in Milano the next few weeks for the design week, wil start building end of April. Will keep everyone updated.

This is a bit of a changed design but ended up not going this route, shows a bit the workshop I can use and what I look like.
