Re: Redneck sonosub Tempest-X


This probrably aint going to be one of those "i started today and will be done tomorrow" type builds. I havent found any of the router bits yet and plan on veneering it eventually with some cherry looking veneer with mdf black endcaps.

Will post more pics as i get more done

Some specs:

Sonotube is 18" diameter, 1/4" wall, and 5'3" tall ( 223 L )

(EDIT: please note this is too small for a tempest X, i had originally followed another sonosub build and used its dimensions, but he was using the old tempest and i never modeled the tempest X ) If using a tempest x.....you should be able to do this with a 24" tube ( 475 L ) and all other dimesions can remain the same.

mdf is 3/4" with misc veneer on it already (free mdf)

pvc is 6" diameter and also 1/4" wall, going for 36" for now giving a tuning of 15.2hz
