Update:

Started getting speakon panels wired & ready, i used thin frame draught foam to put around the outside. As read elsewhere others do it do help stop air leaks.



Third coat done last night. So got them out in the sun this afternoon to dry and harden a bit quicker. Also fitted the speakon points and sealed around with sealant where the cable goes though any interior walls.



Then after started to fit the egg foam inside the mids



Also wired the crossovers and fitted them to the inside of the tops back panel.

Looks great Thumbs Up It might be worth considering upgrading to a second seperate mono block amplifier for the bass to get the most out of the Thams. The gm d9701 is a great class d mono block that actually achieves its rated specs of 500w rms at 4 ohms or 800 at 2 ohm.

Cheers mate! 🙂👍🏼

I was actually thinking in future i might possibly make 2x Cubo Kick 12's and then look into getting a second amplifier. But thats far in the future yet as id need a DSP for that too and i dont fully understand them yet.

Update:

99% Complete! Just waiting for the grilles for the subs to be made and delivered! Well happy with it though. Need to do some messing around with the settings and EQ to get it sounding right but it was better than i expected! 😀


Also decided on a name: 
Lockdown Audio

Nice build. What music do you play?

You could consider mouth extensions next on your THAM12s if you want more output. See graphs below. +4dB @ 40Hz for an easy amount of wood.

This could be a good start point:
Start mouth area: 908cm2 (as per THAM12)
Finish mouth area 1500cm2
Length: 50cm

Cool thanks for info, i play drum & bass, jungle, reggae, dub, old dubstep. I would be very keen on seeing what the mouth extensions look like and whats involved? 

Im really new to all this so dont fully understand the graphs 100% yet but can see the figure being 4db higher so thats decent!

Upload your sketchup file, and I'll try and get something added in early this week Thumbs Up

Should match your genres well, lots of 35-50 content in there

Ok mate cheers will do when i get home on laptop. Thanks for that 👍🏼

My Thams are correct size on Sketchup but everything else was just roughly to size to get an idea of look. As sketchup was new to me too when starting this project.
