Good one, bzb! In that case you might as well build it at 32.5" since this will get the most out of the driver with minimal waste of plywood.

Kinda reminds me of myself. I only need extension below 40hz about 5-10% of the time, yet is still want to upgrade my whole system later on to t48's or t36's :noob:

Not to mention I still need to start on my table tuba which will probably later get replaced with the THT, as well.
Too heavy and unwieldy ;) The reason I went with Bill's designs wasn't because of the performance of the cabs. It was to get something comparable to what I already had (ok, better in this case) while reducing weight. I'm getting old, the back can't take it anymore :lol:

I'm a solo act until I can get a hip-hop band going. Then maybe I'll have some young bucks with me that can carry around behemoth cabs again.

I will go for a couple of Dual Loaded OT12 (using them for smaller gigs without subs) and a couple of T39.
I decided that i will move with two cars when i will have big gigs with many people in the dancefloor.
time to build soon... :chainsaw:

For maximum flexibility I'd still suggest doing single-loaded OT12s instead of dual-loaded.

And another +1. It seems a single OT12 plays louder than most people expect, so there may be gigs where a single is enough. For max flexibility, you could build one pair of singles and one pair of doubles.

It's easy when you have something to compare, the OT 1X12 sound loudest, cleanest and clearest than ANY of the plastic ones no matter the brand, JBL, MACKIE, etc. 15's or 12's.
¿TEQUILA?...
