wow, thats gorgeous! When are we gonna see some of that fw 15.1?

[funky_waves]

Hopefully very soon, I dont have any pictures and we have no stock right now, but we are working on them. Will look identical to the FW12.1 just bigger.

Here is an in room response graph of the FW15.3, with two eq filters to bring down 22hz and 40hz bumps. Tuneing landed at 17.45hz

That is simply beyond incredible, Nathan! Your workmanship is outstanding!

[DRB]

He do put the funky in it, don't he?! Very attractive and unusual.

[Ricci]

Yeah! I won that! Come to daddy!

I really like the way that the grills look with the SDX's.It looks top-notch and it'll be shipping with my massive XXX 18 sub, which also looks incredible I might add. The only problem is between those 2 great looking subs, the rest of my system/s are going to be looking homely and bland in comparison!

Thanks Nathan, FunkyWaves Audio, CSS and The Home Theater Shack!!!!!

Also don't forget about the SDX10 giveaway contest going on. You can't win if you don't enter!

I recieved the SDX sub along with my XXX sub yesterday and I spent this afternoon getting them into the house. I was honestly kind of stunned at how big and nicely finished they were. Then the perma grin set in. My friends/ family who have seen them or helped thus far think I'm crazy.

I must say that the SDX sub is BIG, much bigger than I thought it would be, or that it appeared in the pics. It's a non issue for me though. After carrying the also much heavier than anticipated SDX sub into the house, getting the mammoth XXX sub stood up, out of the trailer, 4 steps up into the house and then taking the SDX sub up a full flight and a half of steps...I'm done for the day.

Here's a couple of pics of the SDX sub after I got it uncrated and into the house.Little bit of dust in there and not the best pictures ( I'm no photographer) but you get the idea. I haven't had a chance to really listen to it yet, or start dialing it in. That will be soon. Going to do the XXX sub first.
