Hi!
Managed to get a tang band sub fairly cheap second hand. I miscalculated the VAS though. At parts express it says about 19 litres and googling the driver, some places shows as low as 16 litres. According to the plans it is suppose to be 30 ltrs +/- 20%.
Is it useless?

(parameters a bit different at different sites (?)

If I use it, would a small change of just the chamber help?

Also, i am wondering if it is possible to use the horn as a sub and make 2xmtm stand alone cabs to hang on the Wall, stereo config with only one sub

The Vas shouldn't be an issue. While you could use it for a stand alone sub that leaves a lot of wasted space in the cab. You'd be better off using it in one of the TableTuba configurations.

Thank you Bill!

I might build it as it is and a matching top in the same style for another channel then. Will check the tabletuba aswell.

Searched the forum, just to double check, sub crossover is 200hz? I think i'll just throw in a small sub amplifier in the cab instead of the low pass filter? The typical one with a pot to change the crossover point. (thinking i'll run it in rew to see how steep it is).

Even with a quite small amp it should be able to give some power with the horn construction i guess?

You could build the MTM and a TT..

You just have to be sure that it will go to 200Hz. Some have non-defeatable low pass filters that won't go to 200Hz. 50w would do.
