18" wide T60

...but if one has a Ford Galaxy (like we do), then the 'what if?' for me, leads down the T60 route.

... but what if the Galaxy (like you have) has a tow bar. That could lead down to the Bertha with barndoors route.

Well, it's funny you should say that. I built a trailer about 3 years back for a boat I still haven't finished - I went to town a bit on it, 4'x6' bed (and I mean 4' as in 1220mm + a couple of mm, so a plywood sheet can be partially dropped in it ), galvanised, twin axle, extendable tongue so it can be collapsed back down after having had the boat on.

How does big bertha compare to t60s? I thought with the extension it only went down to 30hz? I have a feeling with the amount of wattage used and packspace, multiple t60s with matched packspace to the bb will perform better.

Note: This is not 1w1m, voltage applied is in the chart.


vs the famous 2.83v or 2w1m plot of the T60. So add the db increase for 60v


I never heared a T60 before, but i had the honour to meet and feel 2 of the grand ladies in a club in Germany. A truly breath taking experience. 30hz horn? Yes, 25hz is only 20 db down but still a quite usable 120db with the barndoors on. T60's 25hz output is -15db as well.

But i can see the T60's pro's when it comes to scalability and mobility.

Yeah even if they're down at the low end of the chart that 15hz difference between it and the two T39s I have is still pretty damn impressive, it's really hard to describe but it's just such a smooth sound in comparison, particularly with a 48db per octave Linkwitz Reilly filter from 45hz down on the T39s which seems to strangle my music a little.



I have a leak on one of the access panels right in the corner so I'm going to address that this weekend, finish up painting the exterior and then climb in the mouth to paint the rest which only needs a touch up. Then it's time to pop a couple of corners on the top, bit more paint and we're good to go.

Hi 88h88

Glad to hear you're thrilled with your T60.

Awesome stuff man.

It's videos like these that make me want to buy used/new because I just have such little faith in my building (until I get one to come out which I hope to be the tuba 60 this summer) that I can't help but feel disappointed in the end result.
