I can help, first off what are your goals with this sub... what is your room size and what will you use them for?

And what are the TS paremeters of the Black Widow drivers?

we want to funnel some of the lows to the subs... we play mostly hard rock so we dont need the super lows... we also mic the drums so i guess the bass drum would be the lowest. the speaks came out of a old 3 way cabinet, and i hate to sound like a fool, but i have no idea what a TS parameter is.

Illuminati (33rd Degree)
Thiele/Small (T/S) specs are electro-mechanical parameters. They're published for most modern woofers, so check with the manufacturer.

By the way, I have a few very capable subwoofer designs. Check the PiSpeakers.com website and see if there's one there that suits you. When you decide which one would be best for you, write and let me know and I'll send you a copy of the plans.

Hey Scott, it looks like there are 7 different 15" Black Widow drivers, is there any info on the back of the drivers? We need to figure out which drivers you have.
