Turbosound tsw-124

what's wrong with buying loaded ones?

Construction would be a fairly simple but I agree with most posters on this topic, the driver is too unique and that's what makes this bin a solid sub bass. This is short bandpass "J" type horn with critically tuned and ported chamber on the back and compression chamber on the front.

Canada where I live, I have to disagree with comment that could be less expensive to buy it from second hand.
Most cases a commercially made systems have cost calculated to cover r & d , marketing and bunch of middle people to make profit until it get's to the customer.
This higher cost is still associated when purchase in second hand, unless the product is really in unacceptable shape.

If you wish to entertain the idea to build one I encourage you like other posters to find out that you can get the driver, and if you decide to go with different driver be prepared that copy bin will not meet your expectations.

Rus,just one small point,if you do decide to take your original one apart,and build some the same design,it would probually be prudent not to publish the plan on here,as someone has pointed out,this,although old,is still a commercial design.

Why would you need to get them unloaded? Tony's already confirmed they came loaded with PD2450 drivers as standard relatively shortly after they were first released.

hi all thanks for your suggestions. 

i havnt ruled out using pro cabinets yet. but i am 99% that ill build my own. im not using secondhand drivers though. why because i dont want too. lol

thanks mykey do you have a link to robbo's grotto. ? and i take it you mean robbo from this forum.

jbl_man i wasnt going to take the original apart to copy it. im thinking ill have know problem making replica's with a take messure. it never crossed my mind to post the plans. and now its been pointed out to me i wont.

i already checked on driver availabilty some time ago.

i know the ply wont be cheap but battered old cab or nice. new cab hmm not to hard for me to choose.

im sure some of you guys would do things diffrently to me. but each to there own right.

No offence but you don't strike me as the most experienced of builders, so I can see you ended up with a torn apart original cab and some shitty home build rip offs - with a big hole in your bank account. Your money, your choice though, I guess! :D

when these are built with 1" birch finnish ply these will be identical to the originals. shitty home build.
