Oh yes, this thing does make bass.... I keep forgetting! :D I'm going to run out of duratex. I think i'm going to move it to the basement anyway though and fire it up. Enough of the waiting...

By some miracle, I had enough Duratex to finish! Even some left over. It goes a long way if you primer first. Remember that. Ok, here it is, final side drying!!! It's going to the basement tonight!

Looks great. I was going to go with a black satin to match my KLFs, but now I'm thinking I might go with the Duratex.

Well, i've had it for a few days now. After battling a ground loop hum, I've got it silent. It sounds great. Effortless deep bass. I've taken it nowhere near max volume. The house shakes when this thing is playing low bass. It sounds great with anything I throw at it. My basement configuration is a little weird so placement has been tough. But it's working. Just sounds better everywhere the couch is not... ha! Anyway, it's great. Thanks Bill for the design.

Here is the finished THT:

If it appears to be lacking in the listening position, ie the couch, try the subwoofer crawl.

Put your sub on the couch, play stuff through it.
Crawl around the room until you find point(s) of good bass response. Wherever the bass sounds strongest, is where you then place your sub. Hopefully one location also works for WAF factor...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...
