2c from a fellow bass lover. I chose T30 for the extension and I can tell you that with modern day track mastering being as beastly as it is, volume is NOTHING if you can't hit the low notes. But, I'm fussy. I dont like hearing low end drop off when content is there, it is not pleasing at all. Choose wisely.

Interesting, thank you.

May i ask you what genres you run through your t30, how you stack them (experiences with v-plating?) and what venue size indoor/outdoor you cater?

I mainly do outdoor gigs/private parties (that being said, got a semi indoor gig coming next week on a rooftop). Usually anywhere between 2 and 6 cabs, and usually V-plated (even with 6). V-plate is a very worthy addition outdoors, we usually try to seal the mating edges of the cabs with tube lagging as quite a lot of air pressure is lost there. Pic attached of a 6x setup outdoors.

I play 100% EDM spread between D&B, house, techno, breaks, and hiphop.

I'd say the blast zone coverage area of that setup outdoors is apprx 100m² so it's not massive, but its loud and low enough.

Which is already sort of the genres where the listener has a faible for lower frequencies...
Thank you for that insight!
Looks nice :)
And thank you as well for the idea with the gaps, will keep that in mind.

I'll continue figure out the hornresp-simulating and plot them against each other; but the handy aspect of the T30 comes again; compact size clearly visible in your pictures.
I will also take your 3012LF in there and see what other drivers would differ from there...
will update this here when i got enough time in there and got a seemingly solid result.

That subwoofer setup looks absolutely lethal! Good stuff! Wish I could hear it.
