    double vented reflex subwoofer

    Saw this design in a radio shack speaker project book decades ago. then saw it again and implemented it with a Rockford fosgate dvc 18" driver in an enclosure the size of a fridge. Holy crap it moved air, there was a 36 inch doorway and you could actually feel the air moving through it when...
