I had some pics but can't find them too many gigs to look through,but went to the site I built them just like this except no window in the side,I figured it would rattle and cause problems,We ended up putting wheels on them ,they were heavy.😀

I seen some of those ,look impressive, I have 4 12" subs and 1 pevey 18" low rider, I would like to use,my next speaker buy ,I would like some B&C, I have been told that they will withstand anything you throw at them and the response is good, those DTC's look good too!
 
sono tubes huh ive always heard them called bass tubes here in the uk we used to steal i mean aquire pipes from building sites that were easily a inch and a half thick
these were pipes that were meant to be buried underground the bass was always extreme to extreme in fact
 
LOL,Well duh!!!! just joking,
I am tempted to build 2 sonotubes and see how they sound,I have built 2 Papa pass F5 and 2 F5c,They got BEEF in 'em,The 50watt f5 will make some people leave the room T00 LOUD.lol they do sound clean and 2 F5c not sure about the watts ,my watt meter pegs at a 100 and it get's it there at about 11 o'clock,I am building water cooled heatsinks for it so I can crank up the bias ,waiting on parts to arrive,I have 2 of the new inuke 4000 ordered ,should be here in a week ,anyone used these new switching amps ? They do a good copy of the other ones out there at half the cost and I got 30 days to send them back,if they don't cut the mustard!
Tell me Stenwo123 how did you build them size and speakers ,ect.
A few pics of the old stuff ,sold the speakers from the chans to the postman,
Thanks,
NS

155volts seems high; my buddy used to hook 120volt light bulbs to the rails demonstrate a amps power supply.

Now don't let the pic have you on the floor laughing, it is not the cookie monster.

I put a heavy 10" woofer in a 15" blue PVC pipe as shown a few post ago.

[I may get this back tomorrow]

There were two long ports for tuning, I don't know if you could fit a 12" and have the ports with the 15" PVC, they would have to be small.

I did also glue sand to the inside walls and back plate. If I was to build another one, I would slant the back plate.

woofer(s) model number - specs?

would someone weight 2 quarters and 4 quarters on a accurate digital scale need thems for DTS measurements for Vas,maybe measure a few of them, they should all be the same ,But you know about "the Magic Smoke inside everything".lol.
Sorry for being off topic,
I need to buy one,,,,,
Cheers ,

Sonotubes do work fine as sub boxes. The ones I did about 30 years ago were sand filled. Expanding foam sounds like a very good idea. Round tubes tend to fail the WAF.

The RR reference sub is nice. I have one. If more than a very small room, you need two. I still prefer the Peerless XLS
