I was over at Patricks house last night and was just blown away by this sub.....and that was with no EQing at all. The tonal qualities and the way it blends with the mains are truly unequaled by a long shot for any sub I have ever heard.
The cabinet from Funky waves is truly a work of art. Its the nicest cabinetry I have ever seen in a subwoofer by a very wide margin. It really is on another level and cannot be fully appreciated through pictures. As soon as you see it you can just tell that a huge amount of work went into the cabinet and painstaking care was taken to every little detail, you also know that someone built it who is just naturally talented in woodworking.
Aaron, gotta say thanks, I couldn't have gotten that driver in there without your help, hooking up the wires and balancing that 80lb driver would not have been possible alone.... It went really well, and was easier then I thought it would have been.... The Key with that heavy driver is to superglue the rubber mounting gasket on the bottom side of the basket, so you can use it to lower it down in the recess. If one was surface mounting this big driver - you don't have to worry about it being loose.
Appreciate your help buddy....
Warpdrv...I noticed that FW has finally posted your sub on his webpage. Both those subs...I believe are finished in Paduak and sure the lighting gives yours a nice glow but the roundovers are what really make it standout!
Whatever the final cost, worth every penny...IMO.
Yes I saw it there - looks awesome, much better then without the roundovers...
The Box from Funky Waves was just under $1000.00 shipped to me with all my extra options... Shipping from way the HELL over there to WI only took 3 days with DHL, I couldn't believe it...
I am powering this with a Behringer EP2500 - which is about 1800w bridged in the 4ohms.... I am astounded with how much output it has with 1/2 of what I was intending to use... One really only needs a 4000w amp for these LMS's if they really want to squeeze that last 3db out of them or is heavy on EQ....
For those that are OK with working on a little EQ to dial things in proper - this is an extremely easy build with a little bit of effort and will knock the socks off something like a Paradigm SUB 25, (Sig Sub 25 $4500: Cherry, $4800 Piano Black or Maple) for 1/2 the price or less if your into the DIY, or just have Nathan build the whole thing and call it a day...
