CSS SDX15 EBS in 13cu. ft. ,15Hz tune.

[TheEAR]

Hello Shacksters,

I will be building(finishing) my cabinet for the SDX 15 during the course of the next week and will be posting pictures.

The SDX 15 is not a well known driver yet,I think it should since the performence for the price is phenomenal. It is linear,has very solid Xmax of 30mm one way and above all models very well. Like a TC 2000 with slightly higher Xmax.

even the packaging is above average(compared with the usual suspects)!

In fact I was suprised by the driver's built quality and materials quality when it arrived. It is one unit nobody should dismiss when considering a sealed/ported sub. And in a larger EBS (LLT) you are golden.

Pic to follow shortly...SUNDAY

I've had two SDX15s since the summer. I agree they're great drivers. I'm looking forward to your build progress and impressions of the driver once you have it working.

Can't wait to see your sub! I picked up an SDX15 about a month ago, and I'm still thinking about my final design. What size is the room it will be going in? Amp? Paired with what speakers? All HT, or music too? I'll be keeping track of this one.

Starter room a 800cu ft,final location a 4000cu ft room,paired with a Crown XTi2000,each channel driving one SDX15.

I will have dual SDX15 and six other EBS subs. Eight total. Plus more to follow. Also will post CSS SD12 project,what I call mini EBS.

It's performance has been measured by Ilkka to be similar to a TC2000 with a bit more distortion.

The TC2000 is not a product one can buy like the SDX15(try calling TC Sounds) . So while the TC2000 performed slightly better,the SDX15 is a great second choice.

And the SDX15 is safer for newbs ,remember the bent alu cones on TC1000/2000 drivers ? When they bottom hard...you end up with a nice bump in the cone and VC ... Some get overconfident and forget the magical high pass filter is a near must in a sealed box when pushing the driver.

Not I ever bottom any of my subs as I know what they can and cannot do.

I'm happy with my SDX15 since last July and have been beating on it hard since. Works great!

It replaced a blown Adire Tumult 15D2 and as far as I can tell it performs better.

The box will be identical outside and inside save for the tuning,driver hole.

First box almost complete.












Please note what you see here is the IXL18.4 box,the SDX15 is coming up..they will be so close,near twins.

Looking good!

I am looking to build a similar box for my TC2000...only I think I read i should be at 11.3 cu ft.

How did you arrive at your cut list?
