"This certainly seems to be the most practical way to insane levels of output. Franks many SVS's are certainly are an impressive display but consider Paul W's IB with 18 of the 15" DVC's. Thats, what, 45 liters of displacement? Granted its a sealed alignment vs the ported SVS's. But think how much room space it requires to get enough box or cylinder subs in a room to reach these levels of excess."
Ryan,
I chose a commercial route to acquire an infrass system that leaves little to be desired...not because am rich (am far from it--and can't even retire yet!--all because of stupid politicians messing with the electrical de-regulation in California in addition to Enron having a great deal of culpability for causing my--and thousands of unlucky others!--401K retirement fund to dig about as close to the center of earth as my SVS subs usually do! )...plus becoming indebted in order to indulge my hobby's needs.
To tell the truth...had I the know-how...time...and better physical ability (I ain't an spring chicken, you know; am more like an old turkey instead! ) I would have built the exact infrass system Tom Nausine has in home (featured in Stereo Review mag some years ago) or something of similar design...would have amassed a bank of powerful amplifiers with which to drive it...and EQ'd it close to perfection...but I don't, so did the next best thing: bought the SVS subbass systems instead!...
