Sonotube Sub Build *experimental*


Recommended Posts

Posted

the big one is a stupid idea and isnt practical, i like your design tho man. i agree that it looks a little thin, u might be happier if you inforced it a little with resin. only way to make it better is re-build/re-design. good work tho xD

Here is a little vid I took late last nite so i was playing it real light. Im not talking thuderous bass here just good bass. The tube from home depot is a little on the thin side unlike the actual sonotube you can get from a concret supply store. But i think its resonate freq is high and i have the Low pass set at around 50hz. I put a pretty thick window seal tape as a gasket as you can see in the picture to help reduce resonating of the enclosure. So far no problem and sounds real good, especially for a sub around 30 bucks (90 bucks with the amp). Maybe if i put wrap it in carpet i would lessen the resonating charactarestic of the box. Anyway I just built this for fun and just ended up pretty successful. so now im gonna go ahead finish and make it look good. I was thinking of using wallpaper or carpet and staining the endcaps...any ideas to make it look more like it belongs in the livingroom?

Nice!

...I think I just found my next project!

So is the thinnner tube from Lowes strong enough on it's own? I've seen those at Lowes but never would have though to make an enclosure out of them.

...wonderin how I can get one home in the PT! :D

Try and match it to blend in with the rest of your home audio equipment, I think that's the look I would go for.

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'
