Perhaps Joe has discovered a new DIY audio parameter: WPF - Wife Participation Factor.
Joe gets a perfect score of 4.0 (GPA scale). I'd be a lot closer to the other end.
Hey people,
my first try. No experience (but the knowledge of the whole world via the diy Audio Forums), no (electric) tools (it's a challenge, not a handicap), low budget (maybe not so bad for a newbie). Still under construction, 2.1 stereo system, 2.5-way floorstanders with 2x Gradient W130 AL Midwoofers and a Monacor DTM104/8 Softdome Tweeter, 3 active Channels, powered by 3 LM3886 Chipamps in the lower rear of the box. Mivoc AW 3000 12" Subwoofer in 50l sealed, powered by 2x TDA7293 parallel. I didn't expect much, but (for the small budget) I'm really impressed. I love what I hear 😉 .
Pic: right box & subwoofer >
best regards

98oktan,
Mine is older first gen of that type. Hope what I 've said holds true. The new ones, there are no words to describe how bad they are.

Two 18" BMS 18N862 in 140L rigid birch ply sealed units. I run from 5-40 Hz with a 48 db roll off at 41 Hz (-6db)
3 12" SF Cremona Subs, SF Elector amator and lots of naim 135's all subs have separate amps, epson 10500 PJ, modded Lumagen and Panny 9000, modded 10x10 HD to dial in the subs
I don't care for Sealed enclosures, but your build is incredible!
Yummy!!!

Im sorry to bring this back from the begining of the thread, but the , correct me if its not the correct term, folded horn design is so cool. How does that sound ? what type of driver ? do you have a build thread ?
I'm looking to build a or multiple subwoofer and that could be a solution.
Hi,
My latest completed project, twin tower subs. Very simple but lots of output. 50" x 20" x 20" and around 8.2 net cubic feet internal volume. Using the MX15-22 drivers.
Here's my build log:

Very best,
#1 of 2 new subwoofers for the main listening room (it's twin isn't finished yet). Dual Vida NE315-8 driven by a Hypex FA-501. Box is simple ported design with 4" port tuned to somewhere in the mid-20s. Box volume is approximately 2.2cuft. I'll have to run an impedance sweep if I want true tuning freq, but likely won't. A hz +/- doesn't matter that much.
Laminated hardboard construction with blasting media filled walls.
DSP is used to bring up bottom end. Subwoofer is overall power and vent velocity limited to ~108dB. Design (shape/asthetics) and woofer drove size restrictions and other compromises.

Adding another was worthwhile, you can never have too many subs ! (If they are properly integrated)
It looks like those subs would completely overpower that little speaker, whose drivers must shudder in fear at the sight of those big cones.
