It is a direct radiator below 40 Hz, to be precise. That's not a matter of contention. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you have a 3.3 cu ft box capable of 90dB/watt SPL at 30Hz at a total build cost of less than $100. That and that alone was the design goal, and having achieved it I'm well satisfied. So are the vast majority of the builders of this cab who were able to build it, and buy an amp to drive it, for no more than the driver cost alone of most direct radiators capable of 90dB/30 Hz sensitivity in 3.3 cu ft. The fact that it totally blows away direct radiators where it is operating in horn mode is frosting on the cake.
