It's In.

Who wants to be the first to build the world's smallest sonotube subwoofer?

is this unit the XBL^2 unit?? IE the extremis variety for TG?

Wow, very cool.

If I had woodworking skills, I would love to make a micro sub and see what happens.

I like the idea for a sonotube - imagine building a few of those into architectural colums in a house!!!

I wonder what 4 of those would sound like in one cube. I'm about to start a sub project. It's kind of tempting.

Thats an awesome looking woofer! It makes me wonder what I could build with that.. Granted it would never be in a HT setup, but for perhaps a book shelf system or perhaps even for a computer, I think it could be perfect.

Or then again perhaps a 3-way with a couple on each channel could make for an interesting tower speaker.

Does anyone want ot post up some different models of this using different enclosures? Sealed, ported for lowest freq, ported for high output, IB...

Damn

I waited and waited for these things to come in some where, The now defuct Nuera as I understand, and then PE mentioned a month plus back that they where going to carry them.

I finally could not wait any longer and started a small box sub using a ED KX.22 10". Still not finished, got a bad CV-300 amp and waiting for it's replacement.
I'm still pissed that these are now in!

The TB 6.5" plan was a dual Isobaric push pull using 4 of the TB 6.5"-drivers. Some where I have the sim sheet and it looked mighty good. Would have had people saying, that bass is coming out of that little thing!

Argggg...

I may still do something with some of them, have to calm my ass down first...!
As soon as the very kind and always on top of things "Rory B" posted this, my blood started to boil!!!

They seem to work well in all sorts of designs, go play with some programs and check'em out, especially using multipuls of them..

Edit: Also did a box with 4 of them in just a push pull set up, simalar to the B-4 SVS look..

Oh vell, life goes on..!

The only problem I see with this driver is the extremely long port lengths required for it to go low. It may require an extremely complex slotted port design which would have to zig zag within the box to reach the required length.

What about a TL enclosure for this? I don't have access to model that, do any of you? A piece of PVC pipe or sonotube would work in this case.

Geoff L

That why I mentioned using multipuls of them in the same encloser. Of course you could PR them, but reg porting can fit if you find the right number to use and can get the ohm load wired correctly.

Using 4 in a push pull gets you up aroud or over 1-cube with out subtracting for drivers or ports. Might as well go EBS and add another 30 to 50% and tune it lower. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head so these may be off a bit.

But no question something pretty interesting could be built.

And the TL, yes why not....
