July 16, 200718 yr nice work. one question? is that a piece of wood in the speaker whole in the third to the last pic? like a piece that separates the two ports?
July 16, 200718 yr Author nice work. one question? is that a piece of wood in the speaker whole in the third to the last pic? like a piece that separates the two ports?No thats a brace for the magnet to help hold that beast up
July 16, 200718 yr no vids yet. I personally built that box, lotta work but it was worth it. as far as the sound goes, it sounded really loud. a good amount louder than the sd 2.5 15". We metered it, didn't test on alot of songs, it did 137.5 on the dbm-2 from splmeter.com. I am sure it will get louder, after tuning it higher. Ive had other subs hit that loud on the same meter but nothing sounded comparible.
July 17, 200718 yr Author To give you an idea of this subs power (for those who dont know) i pulled up into football practice and parked next to the field house with the sub BUMPING and My coach yelled at me because the power rattled the building and knocked the Football Films off the shelf...So yeah the BTL is CRAZY loud! i freakin LOVE IT!

July 17, 200718 yr anyone want to take a guess at what it will hit? 3.5 cubes at 40 hertz. orion 8002,roughly 1000 watts as of now
July 17, 200718 yr We went out to test earlier, we did get a higher score, but time was short and the cd player was skipping. were devoting all of tomarrow to getting louder:)
July 17, 200718 yr very nice looking box man. I re-read the thread but didnt see it anywhere, is that a 12?
July 17, 200718 yr naw 15" with the 3rd magnet and hixm coil.Its a beast, makes the sd2.5 15" look weak.
July 18, 200718 yr Nice job on the box, the port design sets it off.well thanks. and it's a dbm-2 meter from spl meter.com. Ive heard it is 4 db off of a tl and iv'e also heard it was .3 db off, i guess some are calibrated better.

July 24, 200718 yr Awesome box. I really like how you cut the carpet flush with the edges. Excellent job!
July 25, 200718 yr Hey man I love that box and nice sub too btw. I wanna how much you would charge for a box like that same size except tuned to 32-33hz and the face painted blk instead of red? It would be for a 15in Q
