Hopefully an end to the do I build or add more subs question

#1 Post by Davidroidx »

I read a post a few down about someone contemplating building a tht so I thought I would just create a post to ease any worries about building a tht or thtlp... I have been contemplating how many subwoofers it would take me to get the same output as the thtlp. I am going to be building one more if not three more for my theater but for now I need to calm my room nodes down a bit with what I have.(Yes, I realize it sounds crazy) I come from in the the car audio world and most of my music is electronic. I like lots of sub frequencies loud. Any way, 2 12inch and 2 10 inch subs in their recommended enclosures recieving 500 watts max each still was not as loud and clear as the thtlp. Actually not even compairable. Also I ran out of subs to throw at it. The tht is in a different category, it's loud, but it's also so clean. It's really an experience. The best part is I was only feeding the horn less then 200 watts. So if your reading this and wondering whether to build a tht or go sealed or ported, there is no comparison, you will be happy I promise. I should definitely add, Bill knows what he is doing, trust what he says to do and not do, follow the plans verbatim and you will have a sub that cannot be found in any store.

I see at least two pretty expensive drivers in those direct radiators. I bet readers would be interested in how much $$$ you have in those, and in the single THTLP that they can't match. :)

About 100 in wood, 30 in pl premium and hardware, about 600 in drivers between the four. And about a week of building. Not to mention the custom aluminum ring I made for the countersunk JL's..I would say I could have built another thtlp for alot less, and it would demolish those 4 together in every way. Not to mention the price for an amp to drive them..
