Hi all. I've just finished my DIY sub inspired by Axiom's anti-standing wave cabinets, and taken to a whole other crazy level. Please check out these two links and tell me what you think.

Cheers.
NICE!
I noticed that you had two pairs of speaker terminals on it. Are you biamping it?
For more info about the driver:

Thanks pmbuko:)
Its a dual voice coil sub driver. So if you have a spare/old stereo amp, you can power each of the 8 Ohm voice coils with one of the stereo channels on your amp. Theres no need to buy anything else to power it.
That helps when your on a tight budget and saving up for a pair of M22's!
The Dayton DVC I used, is a clone of the Adire Audio Shiva driver, which has been compared favourably to the entry level SVS driver, just FYI.
BH, congratulations, Grond is a very unique and attractive sub indeed. Also we're glad to hear that you're enjoying strong bass. Yes, that Parts Express driver is said to be excellent at a reasonable price.
Thanks JohnK. Wow, this board really feels a lot friendlier than the HTF. I think if I ever make a second sub, I'll try and get a laminate to match my existing Light Maple M22.
then why not just use sonotubs like many others used in hometheaterforum?
That's pretty nifty zathras.
I wish i had the time to tinker in such ways.
Wow! That is very impressive craftsmanship! Clearly creative and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Your sub looks most impressive. You gentlemen did a fine job.
Aren't you worried about the porcelain figurine taking a dive? Does it "dance" when the sub is on?
Sigh.... I wish I had the skills to do this kind of thing. Very well done!!!
Pretty nifty... I'm designing and building my subs as well, to go with my to be purchased hopefully soon Axioms.
=)
Thanks for all the replies people. Axiomites really are the friendliest folk on the web!
Unfortunately, I can only take credit for the design, not the actual woodworking, as mentioned in my post on the HTF.
I have the plans and 3D model on AutoCAD if anyone's interested.
I don't think I've seen any of the ornaments bounce on the top surface. But then I am using a crummy old Sony mini stereo to power the sub until I find a decent 2 channel amp, and people have warned me that the Sony may be attenuating some of the output.
