Another update:

All of my drivers have shipped, along with the LT/1300. It is all expected to arrive by Tuesday.

I will also begin gathering enclosure materials this weekend. The enclosure dimensions are incredible: 49" wide, 36" tall, and 24" deep. That's not including the furniture legs that I will be adding to the enclosure.

When done, I expect it to be as tall as my SDA speakers.

Holy cr*p, DK! Did you really just say 49" x 36" x 24"...for a sub enclosure???

I wouldn't know what to do with that thing!

People thought I was crazy wheeling my A7s-650 on a hand truck, and that was only about half the size, yet still huge by normal standards. I guess I'm relegated back to normal status and not crazy status after seeing this beast. I think I'm gonna cry

ZedsDead · 10-20-2009, 02:56 PM

Good luck on the sub DK looks super promising. After your new sub causes a sinkhole you will really have subterranean bass.

Yeah. It is huge. I've been getting the enclosure built and it actually looks like an oversized freezer.

On a side note, my amp and drivers came in today!

BrettBell_eD_Rep · 10-20-2009, 07:56 PM

Awww... I figured you'd already have it finished by the time the 19Ov.2 pair and LT/1300 got there. Come on now...

Side note: I can't wait to hear what that thing does to your house.

I hope to be done by Friday!

That's awesome news, DK. Keep the updates comin'!

On a side note, I finished building my DIY riser tonight for the eD A2-300.

Waiting for the darned thing to dry so I can put it in place and give the sub a run on its new pedestal!

Driver_King · 10-25-2009, 11:50 PM

Update:

The enclosure is finished!

Problem is I'll need a dolly to bring it in. It's already a few hundred pounds.

I'll install the drivers and amp as soon as I get the beast brought inside.

Don't fool yourselves anyone. This is nothing short of a behemoth.

As for a finish, I'm thinking a Piano Black...

By the way, I'll be posting some updated pics in the first post in a bit.

Thanks!

I knocked on the enclosure a little bit ago and it sounded like I was knocking a brick wall.

ZedsDead · 10-26-2009, 01:34 AM

Great job so far, with a piano black finish on that beast someone might actually think it's a piano at first glance.

Big Daddy · 10-26-2009, 01:42 AM

DK,

This is one tweak that will help your subwoofer perform much better. You will hear the low and high bass waves more clearly.

louisdamani · 10-26-2009, 01:43 AM

Sweet! Is it the same internal space as an A7-900?

That's a good idea Big Daddy!
