It's only 1.8mm. Ouch. 1.8mm limits you to about 20 watts input through much of the cabs range. I'd dump those suckers yesterday, if not the day before. OK - I've ordered a couple of 3015LF's. As this is a sub only unit - should I have the opening at the top or the bottom? Does it make any differen...

Just curious what you will eventually use for tops, and what crossover frequency you plan on using? I'm assuming this is for electric bass amplification for a rock band. Glad to hear you like it so far. It's for the band's PA. We mic the Kit. The existing PA is twin 15's and a horn on each side. I ...

You may be the first to actually have built these for sub only use, though there has been a lot of talk about it. Interested in your impressions when your're done. Are you using the 3015LF driver in them? Are you using the "classic" design, the TallBoy, or an alternate size/shape? I'm anx...

Omni 15 sub

I built an Omni 15 as a sub only unit and I’m about to build a second. Is the dampening material necessary when there’s no other drivers in the unit?

Edge Rounding and Corner Protectors

The ½” plywood does not seem to give a lot of room for edge rounding – the screw heads are close to the edge. I’ve tried rounding with a ¼” round over router bit, but the corner protectors commercially available leave a gap and seem to need a bigger radius round over. What radius round over doe othe...
