Well, the "Serious Sub" looks like a great option to me for a new subwoofer build. Granted it would need a lot of power and EQ but I was wondering what everyone thought about going the route of using a 21" PA driver for a subwoofer.
I like the idea of going this route since the cone doesn't have to move as far for the same output and will give a much more effortless sound to the bass frequencies.
I don't see many builds like this so I dont want to rush into it. Especially considering the many Tapped Horn designs out there that are also worth considering.
Different tradeoffs that I can recognize right away are:
Tapped horn: Limited extension, large enclosure
Sealed 21" PA: limited SPL compared to TH, Massive power needs, needs EQ.
Any input into the different approaches would be appreciated.
Thanks.
