It's finally happening!

Nathan if you pull off this craziness with the quality of your other work I've seen... You will truly be the man!

That solid Bubinga looks nice too...

I like saying . . . . Bu . . . Binga . . . . slowly in my lowest voice. It's sounds like I'm on safari.

Re: Custom RE XXX Subwoofer Build


Will this be a "side firing" tube?

Re: Custom RE XXX Subwoofer Build


Nay say I...twill not be a tube at all. That cavernous cardboard tunnel pictured is for the exhaust from the 80lb air pumping device. This to be housed in the laminated flesh of dead birch and bubinga trees.

Re: Custom RE XXX Subwoofer Build


I may be right indeed...it's for me that this monstrous construct of bassitude is to be created.

Re: Custom RE XXX Subwoofer Build


Nathan . . . . you've got me conflicted. On the one hand I'm a "tree hugger" on the other hand I'm a neo-subist. After I saw all that debris from all those holes you drilled through my beloved Bu . . . Binga I have decided I can't watch anymore. I'll wait to hear how it sounds.
