I will be building a set of subwoofers for a theater system soon. Dual 18s in each enclosure (building a pair). Woofers will be a Tumult variant. 3kw to each set by a pair of QSC power amps. 1 1/4" MDF construction, 12-16 cubes each.... They will tip the scales at 500lbs I'm betting... I'll keep you guys posted on the build up...

That will be a killer system, but I expect no less than BIG from you.  |

150db home theater system?:puker: Need to put that on the TL when its done. Shit, might have to take a trip out that way this summer to see it.
Are to you taking any precautions to your house to handle that kind of bass? It would be kinda funny to be watching a movie and seeing all the nails come out of the walls..

Update-
The drivers will be on there way soon, Dan has cooked up something quite special for me. They will have features Adire hasn't used before. Hopefully he may chime in on this thread and fill in the details.... I am getting pretty excited about this project. I already would have had the wood cut, but someone burned up our tablesaw and we are waiting on a replacement motor, but it should only be a few more days till I start cutting.
The more I look at these plans I drew up, the more I realize these are going to be some serious subs..... I am also going to be running the Outlaw processor, can't remember what one, but it is thier top of the line model, with balanced outputs.. I have an absolute buttload of power also, besides the QSC sub amps, I have 4 more PLX 2Kw models and 2 Carver 500wpc amps.... This theater is going to rock.... I will have well over 10Kw of power running in here.... All of the mains are large JBL horn pro-sound speakers, so efficiency will be up there.....
Also, the more I figure the size of the cabinets I also realize the weight may be a little more than I had anticipated... Probably about 800lbs for the pair, easily......
Believe it or not, the toughest thing to get here for the construction was Gorrilla glue, I had to have someone ship it to me from Spokane through postal, I couldn't buy it here or have it shipped from any companies due to Hazmat constraints.... Funny thing is my 4 gallons of contact cement showed up a few days ago, without any paperwork.... Go figure....
A soon a sI get cutting, I'll start posting pics of the buildup. It's going to be sweet...

Yeah, that makes sense.......didn't realize Gorilla glue is more toxic than contact cement.
I hope those subwoofers are for a permanent install.
800 pounds...yikes!
I gotta see the progress of those beasts......

So I've got to ask, are you like building a theatre (not home, but actual THEATRE) for the troops over there? I can't imagine any other reason for all that gear. Damn, talk about fun!

Well, I have so busy I haven't had time to do much, but today I cut all the wood. It took me weeks to get metric arbor blades to fit the tablesaw I have here. Anyway, I cut all the pieces... THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO HUGE! It didn't really hit me untill I layed all the pieces together to test fit after cutting... They are about the size of a medium sized fridge.... They came out being 49" x 27" x 30" external..... all 1 1/4" MDF..... retarded big.... Easily 250lbs each just in wood so far.... I'll throw up some pics in the next few days... I'll begin assembly this weekend....

Yeah, those are monster sized subwoofer cabinets. Damn.........
I don't think you mentioned what the tuning frequency will be.
I guessing the two dividers are where a slot type port will be?
I hope the enviroment these beasts will be operating in is rather solid, 'cause when you get 3000 watts at 20 Hz times two, shit's going be movin'........
Awesome.

Tuned to about 23-25 Hz... They should definetly put out the low end. They are going in a rather larger theater, so they will be just about right, size and output wise...
