Hmmm...Then I'd have to build a SLA center and surrounds....tough decision

What Tom said, a big ass corner loaded house shaking Table Tuba Long Style.
Facebook marketplace is an addiction if you're not careful. You can end up emptying your bank account and turning your place into a hoarder house.
I have two JBL GTO1264 12" woofers and an SPLX SPL10R 10" lounging around the house waiting for a home to bass in. I have a sealed enclosure for the 10, although a Table Tuba would be more fun if I could find the Thiele Small parameters for it.

Re: Look what I just got! Infinity 1042w
You preach the truth, brother. I'm constantly on it throughout the day. I'd say I am addicted and hate when I miss out on a good deal. I've bought and sold a lotta stuff on craigslist and marketplace. Before CL took a dump I was on that constantly.AcousticScience wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 4:40 amFacebook marketplace is an addiction if you're not careful.

As far as what to do with these; I am leaning more towards a TT or TTLS. If I'm being honest I'd probably go all out and build a THT instead, but that's $450 in drivers vs my $100 I already bought.
They'll also work in the AT, TrT, and maybe more with a lower VAS.
Since I'm laid-off now "because of the 'rona", I have some time to take my time and make these look living-room worthy.

Re: Look what I just got! Infinity 1042w
Well you could build the Tuba HT low profile. Why? Because the driver access panel is on the back end. I suppose you could make the 15" hole and also a temporary 2 x 10" baffle, that can be weather stripped behind the 15" speaker. I'm fairly confident the infinity drivers won't be completely unusable in the THT, though the plans call for either the recomended Dayton 15, a Lab 15, or a Lab 12. If you build the regular THT it will be more difficult to change out baffles in this way, if the Infinity drivers are not to your liking.
The Table Tuba is smaller and goes almost as low. i was following another guy's build I think he was called bassmonster, who built a 2 x 8 table tuba and said it had enough output to be used as a PA sub like a Tuba 30 and pounded silly in his car. You're using 2 x 10 so yours should be even louder with enough power. As these designs are quite efficient, an SMSL SA98E will get them fairly loud with one subwoofer per channel.
The Autotuba was quite good in a house, though doesn't do much below 40Hz making it best for house and punchy rock music. It's at my parents' so haven't had a chance to test it with a Peavey IPR1600. I've tested it with an old Watkins Electric Music 100 watt mixer amp, and also one channel of an Acoustic Solutions SP101 and it was enough to get a groove going with a light drummer. In a car, you hear the low notes better and whilst the horn is 7 feet long, it's still much more efficient than a sealed 8.
My bass reflex boxes with Eminence Kappalite 3012lf are louder, though not by as much as I thought. The dual 10 Table tuba should be as loud as them and go lower by nearly 10Hz probably, also with cheaper drivers than I spent on Eminence in the UK.

Re: Look what I just got! Infinity 1042w
I know others have made baffle adapters, but I don't like that idea. I'd also rather have 2 single cabs than a dual cab. Especially since I know what just one cab does in a house (the sub placement sticky doesn't lie). If I was making a THX level movie theater room, I'd build a THT hands down. I have some options for these drivers, so I'll ponder some more while I cross of some other projects around the house.
