Nice sonotube subs. I have the drivers (2 15" dayton titanic III's) to build a couple, but mine are going to be a mix between sonotube and acoustic cannon, they'll be U shaped and a bit over 18 ft of tube (15-45Hz resp). Bet they sound nice

How are you going to have those subs "catch up" with the rest of your system — put in a variable delay box between your preamp outs and power amp ins?

Nice price.

That has yet to be determined. I have an SMS-1 to play with; if phase adjustment isn't enough I have a Rane digital delay to put in-line as well.

 

Unfortunately, the TGP-IV I have doesn't have separate adjustments for mains distance and sub distance.

It's really odd about time management in HT setups. The Oppo lets you set distances (for 8 channel output), but it demands that all speaker pairs are equidistant from the listener, and that each pair is < the distance to your mains. You know how the Sunfire works, which is a little more flexible.

The new 401 series has independant mains and subs setting for distance, but it's made in china

kinda reminds me of The Legend of El-Pipo.

 

Yeah, El-Pipo. Now THOSE are BIG subs!

I've seen plans for those subs somewhere on the net, and yes, they are transmission lines like el-pipeo, but they are folded in on themselves (like a catadioptric telescope) so the air path is actually twice as long as the subs are high. It isn't simply a 30" wide tube, it's two tubes, one inside the other

The TG-IV DOES have separate adjustments for the R/L mains distance. It has no adjustment whatsoever for the sub except volume.

Yes, that's what I meant; I can set the main L and R channel distance, but not the sub distance; that's on the new 401 series though
