Ive messed with a bit of stuff but I think that my "suped up" power wheels fits in.

My first legitimate woodworking project was this 6' horn-loaded subwoofer. It was worth the effort.

I've attached some pics, and here's a link to my build thread on the BFM forums - THTLP

For reference, that's a 50" plasma, and that huge black rectangular box is the sub.

drventure:
That sub looks like a great project. Bookmarking that one!

I really have to ask....what the hell is a horn-loaded sub woofer ? A big echo type box thingy for a sub ?

BTW some amazing projects on here!

I'm no acoustic expert but here's what I know-
There are three basic types of subwoofer enclosure; direct radiator, ported or vented, and horn. You're probably familiar with the first two. Horn enclosures are designed to maximize the specs of the driver with optimal airpressure throughout the horn path, or something like that. The big advantage of horns is their efficiency. They filter out nasty harmonics and get the most from your driver. The downside is they are complicated to try and design from scratch (I got plans for mine) and they are big. But it's very worth it. The type that I built would be called a folded or tapered horn since the horn flare is folded within the box to keep the overall length down to 6'. Unfolded the horn length would be something like 16'.
