I saw a picture a few years back where a guy poured his basement floor and formed the concrete into ports and mounted some kind of huge subs down under the floor. Cant remember the details but it was pretty elaborate and crazy looking. Bob told a story one time about doing some R&D work for Boeing. The made a sub woofer about the size of a garage door and used hydraulic cylinders to pulse it. Something to do with using it in the wind tunnel.😬

Felt some big woofers at the last concert I attended (only $11) ... this is also where I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan, who a few years later died in a helicopter leaving Alpine Valley. My brother never showed, so I got to keep a full ticket for bragging rights. Unfortunately Richie was not there... godspeed Stevie.

My next DIY sub will likely be a pair of Devastator horn subs. https://shop.gsgad.com/collections/horn-subwoofers My only concern is what tuned frequency version to buy, 19Hz or 28Hz ? For the moment I am running a pair of Dayton Audio 18" Reference Series HO Sub-woofer Kits that I modified to double the cabinet thickness buy adding 1" of Baltic Birch on all sides. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-18-Reference-Series-HO-Subwoofer-and-Cabinet-P-300-7094 Power is provided by a pair of Crown XTi4000 amps in MONO I would like a Speakerpower amp or a pair of big Krells to drive them. https://www.speakerpower.net/store/p31/SP2-8000-HT_Dual_Mono_Subwoofer_Rack_Amplifier.html At over 200lbs each, I can no longer lift them onto the stands by myself. Before I moved a few years ago, I had them on stands I built that absorb vibrations and standing waves. I really need a larger room... 😪

My thoughts as well. I just don't believe there is a lot of information at 20Hz in most music I listen to. It is my "HOPE" that the horn subs will provide the visceral impact of a kick drum without being boomy or muddy.

I would guess the 28Hz the 19hz is pretty darn low just my 2 cents

This is interesting to me, I always wanted to build speaker enclosures that doubled as furniture. I know there have been numerous example of end tables and coffee tables that are speakers as well. This coffin style would make a great coffee table I think.

Just don't leave a full coffee cup on it when you decide to crank the volume!
