I've glued on & sealed the final panel & added the final bits of wadding, so even though I haven't got the right cables for the crossover yet I couldn't help myself from connecting it up fullrange & trying it out. From that quick test it doesn't sound half bad, though I think my current bedroom is too small - I didn't really notice how low it was playing until I crossed to the other side of the room to investigate what was rattling (it was the door in its frame) & got the full brunt of the lowest frequencies. I'm moving out at the end of May & will hopefully end up with a larger room...

The white box is my Sure TK2050 which currently drives my mains, the grey box is a TDA8920BTH in bridge which was driving the amp very nicely, though I've got a rackmount Samson coming for the sub.

It's a good thing I decided to keep the width of the sub small enough to fit underneath my bed, just on the off chance I decided to put it there - I tried it next to my desk which is where I intended to put it but when I sat at my desk my left ear got the full brunt of the bass & my right ear got none, it was incredibly uncomfortable even at low volumes!

Got it slid under the bed now, where I won't even see the ugly MDF, so I'll probably put off painting it until I've built the satellites & finished my gainclone monoblocks.

Think I'm going to go for a dull matte black actually. Something low key & which won't take scratches too easily. But I'm discovering by searching around that MDF is a pain to paint because of how porous it is 🙁

Water down some pva glue and seal the mdf with that. Much easier to paint after that. How do rate your subs after living with them for a while.
