Hello everyone,
I dropped a post on here a year or so ago and with your feedback ended up building a Cubo Sub which absolutely thumps and the neighbours "love it", thank you for the recommendation there! I've got a spare sheet of birch ply and a 10" Kicker L7 Square sub and was hoping to build something fun. I fully understand the that kicker isn't going to produce incredible quality sound but it moves a lot of air. Please find the parameters below:
I'd like to build some sort of horn to compliment the Cubo Sub. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks everyone, have a great weekend.

Do you want to use it in the same frequency band?

With a moving mass of 189 grams and BL factor of only 17, this is a very heavy, slow driver - really only suitable for in-car use, in a ported box, where cabin gain means you can achieve respectable SPL's.
Out in the real world, without the cabin to reinforce the sound - it won't do much. Not even on a horn, as that hugely heavy cone means it actually won't move very much air; good horn drivers have light, stiff cones and strong magnets. If I were you I'd stick it up on Gumtree/Craigslist/Kijiji and use the money to buy a better PA driver. Do you want a sub-sub for under the Cubo, or a mid-bass horn for on top of it.

Thank you for the reply, very useful! This is why im a newbie.
That all makes perfect sense, that little 10 would make a huge impact in the car. Thanks again, thinking cap is back on!! |
