what is the thickness of a svs tube wall? (1 Viewer)

[Bryan Michael]

any one know the thickness of a svs sub encloser's sidewall? is it as thick as a sono tube? i was thinking of ordering all the arts to a svs sub aka the sub and the the port and bulding the encloser

I am not a SVS owner but I am pretty sure that you can't buy replacement parts unless you already own an SVS.

Pretty sure you could easily build a sub to compete with an SVS though probably for less money.

the blueprint 1201 is supposed to be pretty similar to the driver used in the SVS. you may also be able to pick up a used SVS driver pretty cheap now that many are upgrading to the new and improved driver. the 1201 is supposed to get an upgrade soon coincidently enough that should make it similar to the new SVS driver as well.

I think there is a little more to the SVS enclosures than just sonotube.

The enclosure? Machine/knife cut double density tubing custom wrapped in airtight black polymer film.

Not sure about thickness but a lot goes into these enclosures to give them the best in strength and performance.
If you have the resources and patience to build your own sonosub, visit the sonosub links at the top of the DIY area just above where the treads start. Pat Sun has the most thurough site with hundreds of pics.
You can surely match or exceed the performance of an SVS with quality driver, the proper enclosure, and quality craftsmanship. Perhaps a shiva or tempest driver is in order for you.
