It's very technical and a great deal of it is over my head, as is the case with the Unibox software. I have learned some basics from my research, but I don't know that I will ever be at your level of understanding. My background, by the way, is in finance and accounting. So if you need some advice on balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, etc., I am happy to help.
We may ask some dumb questions, and in some cases, the same dumb question twice, but bear with us as we try to figure out how to do it on our own. Having said that, anyone that doesn't at least attempt to figure out what all of this means probably shouldn't be trying to build speakers.
Thanks to everyone here for the excellent advice and help. It's very much appreciated.
I am going to attempt a SW-12 clone similar to the Aerial Stryke, but with a 12" driver. I think ThomasW and Jon Marsh have something like that in the works. Expect a "I need help" thread from me soon. I can do the woodworking part, but cabinet size (80L?), amp (Hypex 700w?), driver (BP1203?), damping, and equalization (if any) are a bit fuzzy at this point. By the way, does anyone know how to contact Bill from Blueprint about ordering a driver?

Ha - If you can do accounting, you can in fact _
absolutely_ do all the necessary math and 'figgerin to make a good sounding sub and probably do a great job putting together a good system. Reading the cookbook is a very helpful aspect as well- good stuff.
