Hello Everyone ! Just joined the forum here and hope I can learn some new things about enclosures...

Hello! Just built my first bfm rig and I have been blown away by how it sounds and how efficient (i.e. loud) it is. Never did any woodwork before in my life, but thanks to the detailed plans I am now quite good at it (although still got a way to go to get up to the standard of some of the builders here - not that it matters if you follow the plans and ensure that any cabs you builds are airtight). There's a lot of useful info here even if you don't plan on building anything (yet )

Hi John,
G'day and welcome to the forum

Welcome John. Hope you get to learn lots here.

Gday John - welcome to the forum.

Many interesting things to be learned, and experiences to be had here.

Building these cabs is most rewarding - especially when you turn them on WOW

Thanks for the Welcome Guys ! I met Bill over at the Tech Talk forum a few years ago.And he was kind enough to give me some advice on a speaker I was building..So I wanted to stop in and see what else I can learn from you guys here.And look at some of Bills designs.I like cabs with dual woofers.

Thanks Again Bill !

You are one of the few here that has met him.

You must want a huge amount of output. Typically, these cabs put out more SPL in their passband than the common flavour of cabs.

Yes I like high SPL's in the Bass department !

just build double the amount of cabs, in single varieties. this allows you to get more performance out of every driver (you can build them wider without breaking your back)

WELCOME!
I grew up in Somerset County . Haven't been back since '77. I did do a Google Earth for the old homestead and it just ain't the same, However with this group and I mean any DIY'er you'll always feel at home
I just finished my first THT LP build and DIY ever and the DIY crowd and the advice and warnings and humor are all good for any level of wood bender . . .
I'm currently building 2 more @ 29&7/8's wide for my living room and retirement party, endish of august. same bash 300 and recommended speaker. I expect to use a FBD 1124p for tuning but that's a few weeks from now.

Looks Awesome Bill ! Big Folded Horn looks like the one in red... Where are you now ? Somerset is about 30-40 minutes from me.

I'm in So. Cal. same house and neighbor for 35 years. He was my "senior tech advisor" for that build but he's a bit busy while I multi-task on these next 2.
Kinda a shame as I really wanted to get his panel saw into my garage, but it is buried . . . deep. So I had Lowes do some acceptable slicin'.
