have to brag about my custom made sub

Posted by shoe (A) on November 15, 2002 at 01:33:25

On Ebay about three months ago I ran across an add for some speakers that were a DIY project. I Emailed the maker and asked a few questions and after corresponding a few times I believed I could trust him.
I had been frustrated with my search for a decent sub that wouldn't cost as much as a used car. I first bought a Dahlquist sub(bloopy) , then an Atlantic Tech. sub (weak), then Polk ( oozey and sloppy), then a Paradigm sub which I thought might be O.K. but it was thuddy . All of them were lacking in one way or another, and I was ready to buy an HSU but they are kind of ugly.
I told Ryan (that's his name) about my delima, and laid out the Specs.
1. Ten inch woofer, front fireing
2. Fast response
3. Small inclosure
4. Sealed box design for more accurate performance
5. Must go down to at least 28hz
6. Wood veneer, stained mohagany red
7. Cool heafty metal spikes for the feet.
8. Accurate tight dynamic performance.

He made the sub and had it shipped to me in a few days ( he even paid for the shipping cost)
When I got the sub I was immediatly impressed at how heavy it was,
it measures 12"x13"x12" and weighs much, much more than any of the other subs I've had by far. He used 7 coats of satin laquer and it is beautiful. The sound is better than any other sub that I've heard. It was as if Ryan had looked into my mind and made exactly what I had pictured.
I have had the sub for 2 months now and last night i was again impressed at it's performance, it moves the chair I sit in and makes my wood floors come alive with the music, not that I am a bass freak but it's nice to hear those low notes in detail and not hear the one note slop that makes one want to turn the sub off.
Why am I posting this, well.. Ryan did me a favor by making this great unit for me and I would like to refer anyone who is in the same prediciment I was in so they too can take advantage of a good thing.
I have not met Ryan personally but would like to, he said he wouldn't mind if I posted his Email address, here it is, ryanlthomas2000@yahoo.com
Good luck
Matt

Q isn't talked about because most subs are reflex. - Edp 11:08:46 11/16/02 (0)

a Q of 0.7 certainly isn't generally considered "high" - shaynet 17:29:09 11/15/02 (0)

28Hz not a Subwoofer??? yeah, right! (NT) - SamM 15:14:40 11/15/02 (1)

To qualify as a sub, the -3dB must be -100Hz <nt> - hoxuanduc 16:16:12 11/15/02 (0)
