Welcome Dan,
I'm guessing you're into Metal then?
How's the music scene in your area?

Maybe someone can give me some advice on components to build a set of Tuba 18s. I have a pair of Klipsch LaScala ll, I'm limited of space so I think the 18 will help with my situation. If anyone was to go down the rabbit hole, what drivers & amp would you suggest? Right now I'm using the M&K 70b connected to an external crossovers on the base end of the network. I have them blended in to the best as I can tell, but I know it's not the best choice for my music. I listen to all types of music, so it's not as crucial as to what specific sound that's important. I'm looking for advice on someone s experience on components. Looking forward to hearing from someone who has more knowledge in this build. Thanks, Dan M.

Re: Greetings
Subs must be larger than the mains they're paired with, not smaller. At the very least it would require a Table Tuba to match well with LaScalas. T18 works when paired with bookshelf speakers.

I use a pair of minimally-sized THTLPs with my La Scalas. They work very nicely together.Danmar wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 7:21 am Maybe someone can give me some advice on components to build a set of Tuba 18s.

Going bigger (15” driver instead of 12” and bigger cabinet) would have been even better. but I went as large as my space would permit.
Re: Greetings
Would it be a conflict to stack the Tuba 24 under the LaScala?

Re: Greetings
T24 isn't a HT sub, it's pro-sound. As for stacking subs and mains that's almost always a bad idea, as subs and mains very seldom work best within the same footprint. The room acoustics that determine the best placement are very different for mains and subs.
Re: Greetings
Thank you everyone.
OK, it looks like the Table Tuba is my best bet @ "long style". What are the measurements of the unit? It says, 15x60x?

Re: Greetings
That I can do. Does that go down to 37hz also? Or does it go lower?
