Thanks for the info.
This will turn out poorly...
Having watched this thread with both mirth and amazement I realized that I had a bucket and cement. Only problem is the drivers I have on hand are 6.5 Neo tang band sub woofers.
Eh, couldn't hurt, right...
well the cement is curing in the bottom of the bucket. The wife is on the phone probably calling the the guys in the white jackets with the butterfly nets after watching me cut the bucket and hammer the feet and nails in while sitting in the living room. it will be a few days before I learn just how badly this thing can turn out but so far it has been an absolute blast.
By Tuesday I should be able to wire it up and see whats what. Maybe sooner. I expect nothing so I should not be surprised if it falls through the baffle and implodes.
Ed, the inventor, is adamant when he says "do not deviate" from his design as you'll end up with something very different.
I was afraid mine wouldn't work as well since I added the mounting ring but the rings don't affect it's performance.
If the smaller TB's ( which I assume you already owned ) don't work out you can always buy the Peerless woofers, enlarge the hole and you've lost nothing by trying.
By the way those Tang Bands are highly regarded.
How about if he mods the volume by using more concrete? It will be really heavy, but might just work, or decrease volume by lining with wool felt.

The concrete adds incredible mass and solidarity to the whole structure and there's no flex or give like one might expect from a plastic bucket.
Those long deck screws just above the bottom lid as well as the long bolts attaching the feet act like rebar and re-enforce the concrete.
You can use any driver that will fit in the bucket. How it performs is another matter...
If you want similar performance then I'd expect you'd need to find a driver with similar parameters as the recommended Peerless.
Has anyone compared the bucket subs to OB bass? If so, what's your impression? I currently have the buckets but have never had the opportunity to hear OB bass so I'm just curious.
