I have been wanting a sub that will reach extremely deep and yet not be a massive cabinet. I know with a sub that is small I will need alot of power so I started to search for many many different designs and after chatting with Bossabass on the AVS forum I decided to try and build a sonotube sub.
I wanted to build a cylinder sub anyways because when making router cuts they look professional as opposed to my not so good cutting techniques.
I would have posted this on both forums but there is just to much arguing going on about ported/sealed and what drivers to use so I just posted it hear for a few others to see my progress instead of randomly posting pics on others threads.
So I will be using a sonotube that is 20" wide internally. My amp will be a Crest Pro7200 bridged to 8 ohms. now I might get a Marathon 5050 here shortly to replace the Crest but for now this is the poweramp I have for now.
I will be using a Marchand Electronics WM8 L/T.

And for the drivers I am using Fi car audio 15" SSD with the BP option for cooling. I will have both subs in one sonotube. One will be upfiring and one downfiring to help cancel vibrations
Now I dont want to offend anyone(Bossa) in building this sub because I think he has made an awesome sub. I hope he only is happy that I would want to copy such a design.
I will be using double 18mm for the end cap and single 18mm for the bottom plate. I will be using also a 25mm dowel cut to around 2" for the legs. I will also be using a screen material to go around the top ring next to the driver for finger protecting and other small items kids want to place on the woofer.
The internal dimensions is 20.5" tall x 20" diameter. Now I have alot of other stuff I should be doing in my house besides building a sub so this is slowly coming along.(Finish kitchen, tile the kitchen, lay new flooring throughout the house)
After all that they have cut my hours at work to almost nothing so I had to do something to cheer me up.
So here are some pics of the sub so far.
Now the driver is not mounted but I wanted to make sure the driver fit because I had not got them out since I wasn't supposed to be building the sub.
The ring is where I will add the legs on top of. The screen material I will then wrap around the ring.
Now when I get the screen cut to length, the legs glued on and the bottom completely done I will be ordering an acrylic top plate to go on the top. Then I can watch the driver bounce :bigsmile:
And hopefully Moonfly will be happy to see another dual opposed sealed sub being built. LOL
