Just ordered 2 18" SI HST D1 drivers..

HST- mkIII

HST-mkiii 18 Sd = 176.71 in^2 x 2.54 x Pi = 1,410 cm^2.

So instead of a 546 Litre (19 cubic feet) Transmission line, it needs to be 770 Litres (27 cubic feet) TL. Unless tapering, which has a marginal impact on reduction in volume?

Reminds me of the old days when I dreamt about an 18" sundown audio driver in a TL, and trying to explain to my missus that we'd have a high output low frequency transducer in our living room the size of a fridge freezer ..... it didnt go down well at all .....

Some weeks ago, I sent a couple of messages to Nick from Stereo Integrity, web form and also an email but I got no answer.. Do you think he is busy or should I buy subs from somewhere else? If I've understood correctly, his subs are high quality? I'm interested on the 24" models.

Catch him on FB? I know he lags a bit sometimes...

 

[Machismo]

I never joined, I was too busy working with information security.

Boxes ready for paint!

 

[BP1Fanatic]

Nice!!!!

 

[BassHurtz]

Very nice woodworking.

What is that on the inside of the enclosure? A foam panel or a bunch of shapes to minimize resonance?

 

[mart34]

Wow! Look fantastic! I'd be tempted to varnish them, personally I like the look of layered birch.

 

[Machismo]

Ok, Nick simply does not answer, I tried sending 3rd email. Are there any other manufacturers that would make similar big and low distortion subwoofers?

And Best from Europe - bcs of shipping

 

[Machismo]

Not sure if I understood what you mean, what is best in europe?

Btw if someone here knows Nick and is in facebook, I would appreciate if he would be asked to check his email when he has time. Thanks!

 

[compaddict]

Will do.

I mean best from europe - i mean shipping from EU not USA

 

[Machismo]

Shipping is of course cheaper for products from Europe. But if a person is just looking for the cheapest, then a 50 € market speaker will do the trick.
There are some options from Europe that I've found, but almost all of them seem to be optimized for a bit higher frequency band. I'm looking for one that still works good around 15 hz.

Beastly.

I forget what a big xmax surround looksed like.......

Remember, 20hz and sealed is a tough one, especially compared to a twice as large but ported at 20hz.

If you are in talks with him, could you ask if he is taking any more new orders or not.
