Did you ever get round to building any 21's?

I built four of them a year later. They are fed 3000 watts (1500 watts per driver) per bin on some old Crown Powerbase 3 amplifiers bridged. There is another design in the works that should offer a -3 dB @ 23 - 24 Hz that I should be focusing on in 2014 however, they will be 18’s.

Got any pics?

I'm leaning towards a couple of 21" or 24" Reflex singles, I don't need the higher SPL of a 2 x 18 and a couple of extra octaves at the bottom will be better for me anyway. Size won't be a problem because they won't be moved, they'll stay in one place so they can be as heavy as they need to be. They won't have any Drum & Bass or Dubstep going through them, or any 'Sub heavy' music at all really, which is why I think large Reflex enclosures will be perfect.

For what you want it would be best to just make a new thread and start from scratch. Select the drivers you are looking to buy and take it from there.

No worries, I've pretty much decided the drivers I'll use. I'll start a thread when the time comes, your input will be welcome

I will most definitely help if I can.



You may be able to achieve a –3 dB @ 20 Hz if the driver you select is capable of doing it and, you are willing to accept a large box.

The single (21-inch) driver below is Made In Canada. It will actually offer 124 dB @ 17.4 Hertz before taking a nosedive. You could not feed it more than 600 watts. Anything above 600 watts power compression comes into play.



Best Regards,

I'm resigned to needing a big enclosure, but it won't be moving anywhere so it's not a problem
