I'm so confuzzled. Three miles away there's some sort of electro party with two 15" subs. I can hear that **** thumping till here (open air!). My 12" in the corner on full tilt can't even vibrate the table slightly. What am I doing wrong? :')
Is it the scoop design they use? I've heard those horn scoops are like gods for bass
Literally three miles away 'as the Crow flies'? Regardless, without complete details of both 'venues' about all I can say is that a single 12" isn't going to move much air unless coupled to horn.

Maybe you should go sealed box if you're after thumping pressure feel
My sealed 12" at full tilt doesn't even make a glimpse of bass outside. How will a speaker with less excursion do anything then?
Didn't realise you meant your speaker outside, different kettle of fish, you can't pressurise the outside, this I think is where horns come in, GM knows more about that than me but I think it's mainly about better coupling to the air and projection as in, sort of, throwing the sound

I'll make a topic for that, after I buy an emotiva mc700

Right, greater directivity over distance and greater piston area. One of the more interesting things I learned from Altec is that even though 'sound is round', it will 'hold' other shapes over really long distances, making it relatively easy to map complex venues such as stadiums, winding up with equally complex speaker arrays.

I just built the crossovers and they work wonderfully. I also received all the other parts. I haven't been posting because I'm in a hurry to finish this till the end of the week. I still have to route the holes and the recessed rings.
