For livingroom sound better than in a theatre.

I use mine with a Milwaukee 18 volt battery and it will run a 2.1 system all weekend on a battery as long as I'm not cranking it. I currently use it with T18-6 and a pair of SLA pro speakers in half sizes (two drivers per cabinet) and I've found it will also run a small house party. I can bluetooth my iPad to the unit and walk around and mingle with guests.
Haven't seen you around these parts in ages. Always cool when an old regular pops his head in for a hello. How have you been?

:D Thanks,
I lurk on the forum every once in a while and chime in when I have the time. I have a day job that requires a lot of my time and the remaining time is spent hanging with family or working on home projects. I was out of the house for a couple weeks because of the Caldor fire but we're moved back in and life is returning to normal. I got a free weekend to make some sawdust and play with PL again so I'm in my happy place.
Built so far:
AutoTuba. TAT, T18, T30, T39, SLA, SLA Pro, DR200, Omni 12TB, Omni 12 Sub, Omni 10.5,

I built a T18 in a skinnier width and popped in a Tang Band W6 woofer just to see how small I could go. it comes in a tad bit smaller that the TAT version of the AutoTuba. I've been running this setup for about a year and it's working great.

Ahhh, I was wondering what you meant by T18-6. Cool little project and cool to hear how well it's working out for you. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing your set-up. :clap: It gave me an idea, of which I may share in the future.
