Bet those will rock the house! I had just two 15" sub drivers in a ceiling manifold, and they would rock the house, rattle the windows and anything loose in the room.

Thanks. I enjoy building things.
sealed for now.
I will probably port one to compare them.
still playing with the crossovers.

Here's my latest project.
Couple Cerwin Vega woofers used as subs.
They sound quite good.

I had a 12 inch CV sub I built a box for several years back. Excellent bass! Wish I still had it.

Since you're using a sub I'd go with a taller baffle.
That may not look like much- but it's capable of playing down to SIXTEEN HERTZ, in the back of my Nissan king-cab truck. From just a single 6.5" driver (Orion XTR6.5) Just built it (I haven't even had time to upholster it with carpet yet), and put it and the Alpine amp that's driving it, into the truck last weekend.
I didn't expect it, and the rest of the system (MB Quart 6.5" midbass in doors, Dayton Audio titanium tweeters on the A-pillars, and an Alpine CD-E175BT CD player) to be able to reach this high of a level of performance as it does. I mean, it's rivaling a bunch of HOME audio systems I have heard- I'm talking about stuff where people have $10K or more in the home system, too.
Regards,
Gordon.

I don't see a picture.

Agree. A taller slimmer baffle with maybe one wing will sound cleaner and image way better. Tsdaron, check out Danny Ritchie on you tube and watch him explain OB building. His methods get the most out of a driver using open baffle.

How tall?
How tall and how wide a baffle?

I'm really curious as to how these go together and how they sound.

Tall enough that when seated the main driver is at ear level. Wide enough to accommodate a large OB woofer(s) that you will eventually add. OB bass sounds so much better than boxed bass.

Hope to have them up and running in a few days. Maybe do a build thread. The kit is of the highest quality and shames the ones I've done from PE.
