They are my own design.  They came about because one of my mates wanted some subs that matched the external dimensions of two D&B QSubs stuck together.  They are not copies however, I've never taken a QSub apart to measure it.

The singles are in fact my prototype twin 18" cut in half with two extra sides fitted!  They're a very good general-purpose bass solution, particularly for live music.  Very good efficiency, very clean, natural sound, although a lot of that is owed to the 18Sound drivers.  The triangular ports make for a very rigid cab which then allowed me to use 15mm plywood and thus the weight is very reasonble.  Two people can carry a twin up stairs without much difficulty.

These sound good too:

I've been using g subs for a couple of years and I can happily say they are the most versatile, user friendly cab I have ever used. You will be hard pushed to find another double 18 that is so efficient.

Just wondered, why 21/24 double cab???Smile

What is this?
A huge copy factory?

I don't really get the idea of double 18", it just gets heavier!
For horns it makes a little sense as they coupl & go lower, for ported it just seems even more strange as the simulation of 2 in a cab is a bit stranger than for one in a cab as far as I recall
