My THTLP project

I ordered the Dayton RSS315HF-4 today, and will be building the smallest possible THTLP at 15" wide.

My room is 13' deep x 13' wide, with a 7.5' ceiling. The room is actually wider than 13 feet, but the HT area is mostly confined to that space. I'm pretty sure the sub will kill this room.

The front right corner of the room has a lower ceiling to cover a heating duct, at 78" high. I'll either put the sub there, with the mouth straight up (6" clearance to the ceiling), or lay it down into the corner. WAF will play a decent role in this decision.

I have an old, gently used AB Professional 200 amp I'll try, if it can stably run bridged mono at 4 ohms. DSP will come from Linux.

I still want to build SLAs at all corners, but for now, I'll stick with my Klipsch KG5.2 fronts, KG2.5 rears, and KV2 center.

Just finished mine in a 22 by 18 room. cab 24" wide, 15" dayton driver. It is scarey how much pressure this thing puts out. I have an O-audio 300w plate amp and at 5-10 % of the volume it is shaking the house (7-10 volts). I need to spend some time with it and get it dialed in. May I recommend any of the Bass Mekanik cd's when your are finished.

Can anyone recommend a good resource for learning how to apply hardwood veneer? I'm also looking for advice on how to protect the corners without using L trim.

I built the long one. It was actually easy. I forgot to photo till near the end. Built mine with no table saw.

Pics are in my poorly written thread
