Hello guys,

This enclosure is an simple rear loaded horn, that uses transmission line theory to achieve it's lowest possible f0 point, then the f3 point.The "ports" you guys think you see at the back are just handles, built around the angles of the loading wall.They are not even, but provide a good grip area as this little enclosure is heavyyyy.

The angle at front you're seeing is more like 37degrees.The box has 4 folds on the inside, and each has their own expansion rates which eventually add up to the final horn.The only thing different here, is that we have a compression chamber that loads the horn, and provides good rolloff without sounding like a rock falling to the ground lol.The length of the line was calculated to provide 1/4 wave (degree) phase shift, allowing the front and rear wave of the speaker to be in harmony, and not cancel out each other upon exit, making the single woofer sound like two woofers.The horn then works as an expanded wave guide to bring the efficiency up to 50% as measured and predicted by "hornresp". This is a combined efficiency rating.

I once built one of these for a vehicle using one pair of TC T1000 8".On around 1800wrms, at a burp they did 148.9db at 42hz, which is kind of low as compared to what you guys do up here.Please note this was done on IASCA legal windscreen, fully sealed up in a trunk.

Here's the buyer's reveiw of the sub, and before he had an alpine type r 10" woofer.

My review on this build, this sub is rated at 200wrms and is being played of an alpine pdx 600.1 I have to say that for a rating of 200wrms it handles the power thrown (probably around 350-400rms) at it well. Bass notes are consistently emphasized with good low end extension, though you have to be careful as the sub will reach its mechanical limit and distort, transition from different bass notes are smooth.


When I sat down and listened to this combo for the past few days, it was clear that I started to hear some frequencies that was lacking when I had my previous sub combo (no setting was adjusted, LPF 50hz, SSF 15hz, gain was set with an SMD DD1 using the 50hz 0db track), in numerous EDM tracks, the low end response was clear and very audible. Some tracks like Put on, love in the club, suit & tie had me smiling because of the great sounding bass.

All in all I'd have to say that I am satisfied with the performance of this combo thus far. The only drawback to this design is the size of the box, though not high, it takes up alot of space along the trunk flooring, but say what it provides me with good entertainment when on my daily commute.

Here's a link to my build forum, it's the first and only one of it's kind locally here in Trinidad-
