Hi from across the pond. Over here in the US, there is a sound company who has been making big waves for the past few years called Hennessey Sound Design. They really like FLH's and their main sub, the "Battleaxe" has many people I respect claiming its their favorite design of all time. Have you guys ever heard of these over there, or have any idea what these designs are based on? I have the absolute most respect for you guys over on this forum as you guys taught me damn near everything I know about speaker design. so I am curious as to what you guys think. Heres their flagship, the Battleaxe: https://hsdsoundsystems.com/the-battleaxe/" rel="nofollow - https://hsdsoundsystems.com/the-battleaxe/ its a 21" in FLH, with -3 at 28hz and -10 at 22 thanks! cheers! ------------- http://soundcloud.com/asaa - My Studio Productions |

| There’s a dance on tonight in Los Angeles. They’re running 2 of 24” Sherman sub boxes which weigh 450lbs each, the sound bought a small forklift to move the boxes around. They run 18’s for mid-bass. |

-3db at 28Hz is probably for 4 or 6 boxes. Those are too small to do that with one box. But a killer subs for sure. ------------- Marjan Milosevic MM-Acoustics www.mm-acoustics.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/MM-Acoustics/608901282527713 |

Calling something that goes thud thud thud thud however splendid the thud might be "The Battleaxe" is a somewhat misguided misappropriation. Here in Anglo Saxon culture it is popular term of endearment for an elderly rather uptight extremely feisty female. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle-axe_%28woman%29" rel="nofollow - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle-axe_(woman) ------------- DMZ. "The bass was intense. Girls were literally running up to stand next to the subs" |

I'm instantly reminded of the last MetalHedz night I went to. A pair of very similar looking 21s provided furious bass lines. I think it was the Leisure Lounge, maybe 1997. |

| I went to check these out last night. They were using 2 x 24” sub boxes (each sub box approximatley 6’ deep 4’ tall and and 3’ wide) They also had 2 double 18” boxes on each side of the 24’s. The event was for reggae dub and drum n bass. If you stand right in front of the boxes you couldn't feel any real pressure but when you stood 25+ feet away then you could feel the sub in the ground. These subs cost around $8000 each or more, the build quality was great. Now just my opinion and don't take this the wrong way. 've heard a lot of boxes in 35 years. G-subs or good scoops would have done the same thing or more. |

| At a fest in 2019 I went to they had a stage with 18 of those battleaxes and I've still never experienced something quite like that. Anytime a show has henny's since I have gone. |
