Seth, yes, there are specials on both of the Stryke 18" PR's. One is $100 and the other is $110
Something around 44 liters net (about a 16" external cube), LT'd down to an F3 of 20 Hz and a Qtc of 0.577 looks real nice to me... In fact, we're working on some custom boards specifically for the Hypex amps we carry that will have a full LT on them. So you can bolt on a stout 750-1500W to the box with your LT built in.
Wow, that sounds really cool. Something to make the hardware forum Velodyne cultists wet themselves.
However, I personally wouldn't run that alignment to start with. IMHO, it's too peaky in the low end. I'd personally look at a smaller box, with a lower tuning frequency to get a smoother frequency response. That's just my input - I personally would look at something in the 130-140 liter range, and tune down around 16 Hz or so, to get what I consider better response from the system.
Dan, You seem to be missing the fact that there are no PRs (that I know of) that will give you a Fb of 16Hz in a 130L box. I have an equalizer and I can flatten any peaks that arise with my design.
The designs you're suggesting (enclosures) aren't really practical. The PR one can't be made because there aren't PRs (that I know of) that can take the mass needed. You're ported design has an inherent flaw in it's 80" long port. A port resonance at about 100Hz. Even with a very very steep crossover slope you're bound to excite this frequency. You also get compression from the air slowing down in the corners from friction.
What I gather from your posts is that unless we're building a LT in a sealed box your sub isn't a really very good choice.
It seems to me that you're trying to talk me and others out of buying your product. This seems kinda odd. I think it's time to go take another look at the Stryke AV15.
