[oddness]

This sub gets used in a living room that is about 15 x 25 x 8 (about 3000 cu ft) and I have to say it does a fine job. It is very well controlled and very detailed. I listen to all kinds of music with it and it is never overbearing. On movies, when there is explosive bass, it handles it with ease. I have noticed though that the grille cloth is perhaps a little restrictive at the lower end and tends to flap somewhat at 30Hz and below at high spl (110+). Fortunately the ports are located in the bottom and aren't covered by the cloth and suffer no adverse effects from being partially blocked. I am planning on a second generation unit that will utilize two Peavey lowrider 18's along with an integral 1000 watt amp, again a sixth order ported system for use in a local church. I'll post as it comes together. Nearly thirty years ago, I had the good fortune to own a pair of EV Patrician IV's which were built in 1954. They were 4-way corner horns built under license from Klipsch, but they were about 30% larger and utilized 18" bass drivers. Those have always been my benchmark for truly effortless bass reproduction with extremely low distortion.
