I dunno - that looks like about the size enclosure you'd need for that woofer over top of the stairs. Why'd you use a rectangular tuning port though? How much power you feed that thing? Bgavin might be interested in this one.

well i use 8 21" subs, and i power them with 1 Carvin DCM4000 a piece, running 4 ohms brigded. I took out the neighbors house and garage the other day!
 
OK ok ok. The little 6.5 is only good for 50w, and 84 db 1w/1m. It would have trouble being heard over the Carver's fan, and the Carver could probably launch the voice coil into the next county. But it IS flat to 32 hz and with a more appropriate amp, it makes a good bedroom practice cabinet.

lol... I was thinking the same :D

Anyway...

here is my current practice rig.

Sunn Sceptre Tube head on a pair of 1x12 + 1x8 stereo speakers in Mahogany boxes. :D

Once I overhaul the head (needs a cap job) and upgrade the drivers in the cabinets I'll try gigging with it!
 
not bad at all... It cuts well, though the tone is a little less desirable than what I can imagine I could make with my fingers, the same bass, and a better amp. Just doesn't have a wide variety of tones, though the addition of Barts and the outboard preamp helped to increase the variety and quality of tones I was getting.
Going up against a Marshall half Stack, a jazzy drummer, and a mic'd saxaphonist(band no longer together-1/2 of group going off to college) it did pretty well.

So for a 1x15 combo that cost 375$ used it does well and will last a few more years, until I get completely sick of its weight and non existant portability.

I haven't seen any rigs of the latest (last?? :hmm: )line of Trace Elliot around here (maybe I missed them though) so here's mine. An AH500-12 head with a 1048h and 1818 cab.
That's my beloved Iba SR1000 and an ME-8B for fooling around with effects. I love the defretter effect! Coupled with some chorus and reverb I can get *very* Jaco-ish sounds from that.

I also built me a nice and cheap 300W 2x10 for jamming/practising. Pretty decent sound, very funky/punchy, although I did make a slight miscalculation in the box (or the port, still haven't figured it out) so the low G-note is a bit phatter than the bottom E... oh well, it's easy to move around, has good volume and it was CHEAP! I *still* need to cover it in something and give it a grill and some steel corners or something.

Hope you guys enjoyed lookin' at it! I still do every time. Especially the 18"... And hey, I get to *listen* to it as well! :D
