The Rocket Launcher


The Start of the Rocket Launcher has it's origin in the thread below and has finally come to fruition.

http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...-amp-tube.html



The Rocket Launcher is Complete and in place. Tuned to 23 Hz with a 29.5" long port at 3.75"Dia. Measurements are 33.5 " with 5" legs. An EHQS8 and 70 W. Plate amp. Models at approx. 96 dB @ 22.97 Hz This thing hits hard and low for such a small driver. I can say that those EHQS 12 and 8 drivers were a diamond in the rough.

Pics here.

Re: The Rocket Launcher


Well it's really going to live in the kitchen area for the while so FR testing would just have to happen on day when the wife is out and I have one of my partners in this form of crime over. Will definitely update when and if it happens since really this is just intended just for music and will reside in the living room once renovations are done and I have my own dedicated HT/Do-Whatever-I-Want Room.
