It gets pretty scary loud, I'm afraid to crank it. I did a test tone at 15 hz without warning my wife and she thought we were having an earthquake. The drivers are a pair of 18" Fi Car Audio ib318v2 with 33mm of excursion. Extends down into the single digit hz with good spl, response could be a little flatter likely due to only having the one manifold and so susceptible to room modes. The best part about it is there is generally very low distortion with a setup like this, and the lack of a box gives a very uncolored sound that blends very well with music. I'd love a second manfiold, but it would be hard to find another good place for it in the attic, and wife would probably veto it.
Powered by? I don't see an amp on the box. I have an REL I keep on the floor.
Certainly not used to a sub in the ceiling. Is that why low distortion? Definitely interesting.

Sunday afternoon I'm going up to HB to hear some stuff. We chat about the best you've ever heard of this and that. I'm taking my Fisher SA-300 Mullards tub amp and some tuned Heresy speakers.

If fit cyclist likes to hang with beer drinking fat audiophiles - you might want to head up this way sometime.
