I just purchased 2 Crown I Tech 8000's. Hopefully, I will now have enough power and I will be encouraged to finish the cabinets. Almost done with each structure. One more panel for each.

Quit teasing...you're killing us over here. Want to see the finished product...and the measurements to go along with it.

P.S. Include pics of ears bleeding.

Forget ear bleeding this thing will pop your eyes right out :raped:

Cant find the picture but apparently your eyes resonate at 17hz so you had better watch it I really do wonder why anyone needs this much bass?

Any chance of some pics of those amps aswell...

"when i grow up i want to be just like you"

Seriously though this build is amazing and i cant wait to see it finished

Re: 4 18" 5400's and 8 passives "OH MY"


I hope to have some new pictures this weekend. I have a new card for my camera and I will be taking pictures. Both cabinets only need one baffle to be "structurally together". Then I need to mount wheels, handles, build 4 grills, wire speakers, finish the cabinets, mount woofers, tune passives, and whatever comes up in the process. Sooner or later I guess.

Thanks,

Robert

Re: 4 18" 5400's and 8 passives "OH MY"


Oh, by the way, I really don't "need" all that bass, I just want to have something really nice, and the best that I can personally build it. Also, I don't want to have to build something better next week. I "Worked" my way up from using 4 old, reused drivers in a somewhat small box 8-10 cf for 4 15's, then four new 15's, to 18's to better 18's, to 8 15's, then finally, 4- 18" lms 5400's and 8- 18" passives. This process took, and is taking, all of about 8 years. In all of those years, I spent nothing on speakers or hobbies of any kind. So, all in all, my per year expenditures are pretty low, and I hope I won't have to spend any more for a while. These subs are, for me, like having a hot rod or a coin collection- It is a hobbie. As a matter of fact, I probably could have gotten away with one lms by driving it hard, but what fun is that, so I went with the project I am currently building.

Good luck

Robert
