2 33" Subs for ALL the BASS! Both Boxes Finally Hooked Up & Playing! Effortless CLEAN, DEEP BASS!

This Project is finished! Well i still have to do the stainless logo (see a few video's back) but i didn't want to drive back to the shop on a Sunday in all this terrible weather. I will finish that part this week and maybe post some photo's on my IG channel / meade916 . For the most part this chapter is over and now i can just sit back and enjoy. Which we really do! This really came out great. The "in your face bass" yet, very effortless and clean bass is just hard to describe. Both these subs combined are almost 14 12" subs so you know what they say, no replacement for displacement! Thanks again to Gately Audio and crew!
Thanks again to my good friend Bobby Gately who collabbed with me on this project. Always an honor to get to walk around his shop like i think i know somebody or something. Thanks to the entire crew!

I run 6 Cerwin Vega 15's for my all in one system.. I need a 33" sub I think.😂👍🏻🍺 Steve your system is a beast dude.🇺🇸

[@JoeJ-8282]

That sounds REALLY good in the bass range, I bet! Cerwin Vega makes some good woofers and subs! Now imagine; what about having a theater room with a total of around 9-10 square meters (or around 100 square feet or 10' × 10') of air moving subwoofer piston area?! THAT has always been a dream goal of mine ever since I was a teenager, but that means almost 16000 square inches of air moving piston area, (just to make it an "easy" number to work with and divide up into multiple subs of like 4 × 4000 square inches each, or 16 × 1000 square inches each, or something similar, with one to 4 multiple driver subs for each corner or rather each wall of the room, etc., depending on how you designed it), however that amount of total air moving piston area would require a LOT of woofers to achieve! Not very practical from a cost and space and complexity standpoint, unfortunately! (Still maybe someday I will aim for something close to that if I ever get to build my dream home with a custom home theater room in it.)

[@johneastmond9092]

I haven't seen 33" subs before. If we needed something more than 18" we switched over to inducers. (Drivers without cones to move air.) These would be through bolted to building elements such as floor or walls. The whole element then would become the "speaker". Some of the units could have up to a 4" stroke!

[@mohammedisaa9952]
