thylacine23 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi, its gonna be a Titan39, with 2x12s inside, for that sub low end,!!!!! and a OT12 ontop with necked horn, for the mids.....Nice...... Also, two quite really easy builds, "its in the plans", I cannot recomend BFM enough, all the plans are complete with all you need to know, inc schematics for filters, and plans to make a saw guide, you just follow the instructions .... However, the real fun starts, when you use it, them.... UNREAL !!!!!!! The first one I made was a AUTOTUBA, basicly a folded sub horn for the car, using a real cheap 8" driver, the results blew me away, "that dont happen very often to me now",,, driven by a S/H 50watt amp, it sounds far better than alot of twin 12" sub boxes, that cost five times as much, I kid you not, and I luv my ice !! So I then made the 015 LowBoy, shortly followed by a 015 TallBoy, which is my main rig now, for the mo at least... I always get a great sound from either and loads of intrest when in use,,,,, ,,, Personaly I love the look without the full grill, its different somewhat... I find making them a real pleasure, the only bit I dont quite like so much is the carpeting, cause the spray glue stinks big time,,,,,,, arrchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ive just also been given, a nondescript 15" bass speaker, Lies, its a S/H used, wharfstale Circa.2005 I think. [attachment=27263:IMG_0095.jpg] [attachment=27264:IMG_0097.jpg] which i shall be making a 0mniTop 15 for bass, out of too, soon. using cheap 5ply and painted, as a bass cab 15 bottom, just to abuse and show to others, the sheer sound quality for so little money, I shall be posting that as a build thread when I start, cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
