HT Sub Construction Pics... ALOT of pics...
 

Took 4 straight days from design to completion. My best work so far, still not very good, I'm too impatient to do anything like this very well :p
Anyways, I took lots of pictures... so here... skip to the bottom for finished pics

The box is tuned to 27hz or so and plays wonderfully! Shakes the whole house. It will be plenty to get lots of complaints in my dorm
It will be paired with custom cherry cabinets from Mr Marv with dayton drivers powered off a Harmon Kardon stereo reciever (100x2 @ 8ohm)
The parts express plate amp puts out full power @ 4 ohm... and since the e8a is dual 4, I had to step it up to 8ohm so it is only getting around ~150watts. Gets LOUD though.

Thats awesome. rock:

nice work... that thing looks awesome, but that sunset pic is fuckin' hardcore...

where is it going ?

2 12"s will be crazy in a little dorm room! This single 8 shakes the entire living room, 2 12"s would knock pictures off the walls.

I live on the first floor and a buddy of mine lives on the 3rd. Our prediction is he'll be able to hear it from my room.

nice.. are harman kardon's good?

They are a step up from bestbuy/circuit city line ups. Mid-end stuff, but remember they are in the market with "high end" units costing 5 figures. I got mine reburbed for $250. Goes new for ~$600.
