8" Bravox Sonotube Build

[solidcrowd 1]

This is a build for the 8" Bravox PXW subwoofer. The enclosure is 0.7cuft @ 30Hz after displacement. Power is 240watt plate amp.

Finished!!

What you guys think? I'm running it off a 240w plate amp and IT SOUNDS AMAZING. So clean and smooth. Fills my whole room and even rattles the walls. Did not expect this build to have such a good turn out. After displacement it is .7cuft tuned to 30Hz.

Very nice!!! I am sure that works well in the HT setup. What do you use to keep it steady?

Its just laying on the floor as of now. I'm thinking of cuting out a half pipe from two blocks of wood to have it rest on.

Maybe try it downfiring and in the corner of your room, see if that brings better results.

Looks good

Very Nice!! Great work!! I've seen those tubes used as ports, but not as the enclosure itself.

Looks neat. I agree with corner loading it, buy some sperker spikes and stand it up.

What did you use for the wood grain finish?

Sonotube builds are cool. I had one back in the day and painted it up like a life saver pack. Built a little stand for it and had sub down and port up about 4" or so off the floor.

My first sub in the car was a optimus 8" in a section of pvc pipe lol.

I poked around on the net. This is like what I made.

Thanks guys! I'll order some sexy legs for it from PE when I get paid next lol. As for the woodgrain I just used some simple contact paper Took literally 10mins to apply.
