I´m looking for drawings for a sub horn design. Must be able to fit inside a livingroom without throwing out the sofa(or my wife throwing out me!!)
Tanks!

Try: http://homepage3.nifty.com/spida/pag9-01-16.htm a Japanese freak site on the subject that I found today.

Hi All,

I just got the download for Bill's "Tuba 18" subwoofer. Not too difficult to build and it should work great for music and home theater.

Depends on the tools I suppose, but I'd appreciate any writeup
with photos you may care to share in your progress on the tuba 18.


There's an article on it in _audioXpress_ 2 months ago as well.

Look at the response curve first, [message #20657 is a reply to message #20656] Fri, 11 February 2005 00:16 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Bill Fitzmaurice “tuba” horns are meant for guitar and bass. The response has 15dB peaks and valleys so I don't think it is for critical listening or even home theater. IMO, YMMV, yada, yada, yada.

... have you listened to a tuba 18 or an auto tuba ?

i built one and have listened to it enough to confidently say that i disagree wholeheartedly with your post, .. YMMV

cheers

I am glad you are happy with them. I wouldn't try to talk you out of that. Bass players like them too. However, I think most here would want a more refined sub, that's all. The response curve is very peaky. It is what it is.
