Not a G sub as such but not far off don't even know where this plan came from but found it on my hard drive if it's any use. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes! |

| Awesome would that p-audio plan be any good as a kick bin to go above an X1? |

I've built the P-audio cab not so sure about kick as it goes quite low but it sure makes for a good general use bass cab and works lovely with a quality 1 x 12" + hf above it. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

I used some old EV drivers worked a treat but I've since also tried them with some 2226H JBL's the result was really warm low bass and plenty of it, nice useful box if a bit large for a 2 x 15 but very usable as a simple four box system with the right top boxes. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Yes great cabs tbh, i built these too worked well above my scoops cut at 70-85 there about so runn these to about 175 and thay hit hard man and move some serious air too, pd loaded tested them with pd1550 deadly, and some eminence/fane xb and orther drivers with lighter cones big difference in upper-bass tones, ovisly depending on x/o points...lighter cones faster response...worked well tho in upper-bass range too really rate these cabs good cone controll too...as colin said a good all round bass cab tbh...agreed, brace them well too love them !!!   ------------- Musical Roots Reggae Vibration is Life! for music is sound...sound is vibration...vibration is energy... and energy begets life.

Greetings. Warming up this thread again as I am planning to build a "15" G-Sub" to go above two 18" Scoops. I am a novice at woodwork but succesfully managed to build two cabins for Mids and now am looking for the next challenge. I found two different versions for the "G-Sub" 15" design. One seems to follow the original Mogale plan:  (compare the original 18" G-Sub here: http://www.speakerplans.com/index.php?id=gsub - https://www.speakerplans.com/index.php?id=gsub ) The other one is from P-Audio and I call it a "G-Sub" just for being very similar in desgin yet a lot more complex to build: 
The first seems pretty straightforward and easy to build, however all the discussion and experiences in this thread (especially from Dub Specialist) are regarding the more complex design. I am wondering if anyone has build the simple version and could even compare it to the other one. Also rearding both designs: I want to build in handles at the sides, does it matter where exactly they go? Can the space/volume they take up inside the cabin be ignored sound/tuning wise? Thanks for your replies!

| It’s a pretty basic reflex cabinet. You can easily simulate one for the driver of your choice and build it. Just brace the hell out of the panels. |

Why would that be? Its a much smaller cab, with a noticeable reduction in internal volume. Can the more complicated port and more heavily recessed baffle really do that much?

Did you put any insulation in this or just the braces?

Sorry for asking a silly question as this thread is about 15's, but Dub, do you have plans for the p-audio 18 reflex? I really want some double 18's because I'm tempted to move away from scoops (most sounds begining to look/sound the same.).. Edit... Grammar 😂

| The first dual 18 P-audio design absolutely doesn't have enough port area. The second one is a step in the right direction but when using drivers like the 18sw100 I would even prefer more port area. |

Have you modelled your driver in the box? Using the first driver listed (SD1801700EL) on the first p.audio PDF the air speed through the four ports is about 0.15 Mach, anything below 0.2 is considered OK |

Back to OP / original question, this plan is pretty popular for reggae sounds in france http://boomboomcollective.free.fr/site_downloads/BBC.BR215.MidBass_Speaker_Design.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://boomboomcollective.free.fr/site_downloads/BBC.BR215.MidBass_Speaker_Design.pdf We use it (1 above 2 scoops, usually in stacks of 4 scoops)) loaded with L15P530, crossed around 80/200 They kick well and sound warm (I've always prefered the warm sound of reflex over the dryer sounding bph designs often used in kick/upper bass, it suits roots / old school tune well I think, maybe less transparent), also I find them pretty sensitive, no need for enormous amps to make them sing, not that this is very subjective, I've never done a direct comparaison against another 215 reflex though.

When I model such a cab (around 180L, 37 Hz tuning) and using the 18SW100. With 90V (1500 Watt) it reaches 50 m/s and then I'm even using a 35 Hz HP. I have a PDF written up by someone from the Speakerfreakers group about port compression (can't find it atm). Conclusion is that bigger ports are needed.

1: You won't be able to access PMs until you have at least 10 "points" as a forum user ( broadly equal to posts - but don't just post spam to get them!). 2: the plans for the P Audio 215 are on both page 1 and page 2 of this thread already ;-)
