Home made sub

[chris-irving]

Hi i have made my own sub using 4 100 watt Warfedale cones.

Im just wondering what poeple think of it and what would be the best way to test it. currently im using a terrible amp and its heart pounding loud with the amp on a very low volume. and its like this without the speakers moving much at all.

Here is a couple of pics it needs painting.

Welcome to the forums Chris with your first post.

How did you arrive at such a bizarre shape for it?

thanks,

Not sure realy. I just thought horn shapes must make things louder and i wanted a coffee table aswell, and i quit smoking two days ago so i needed something to do hehe. im shocked at how good it sounds. just realy want to test it to see how low it will go. but iv got no idea where to find an mp3 or vid that shows the hz its playing
