Nope they are still making them because I have two on their way as soon as they get around to testing them.

It will take 8-9 weeks they will tell you that right off. I ordered mine Jan 25th got the email a week later they were being built and still waiting on a email for an update on when they are testing or done testing them. FI is backed up and for a reason, because they are swamped with orders.

I’m good with that.

Same since it is just now getting above 50 on Monday. But with temps like that this early I know we will get hit with 30-40 inches in a storm again like the last time it was 50 this early in spring. Not like I can do much right now with refinancing the house for the 2nd time in 18 months. Already spent 500 bucks on stuff to upgrade around here.

But yeah I was ok with it as well. I couldn't do anything then and can't anyways till May so as long as I get them at the end of March early April I am fine with that.

Exact same here man. Finally been sunny and dry here. But, weather is very unpredictable. Wish they had a 10” version of that sub. I’m sure 12” will require a huge box but we shall see.

Would the Dayton Audio UM12 work?

Fs is low...the suggested enclosure specs are kind of throwing me for a loop. Almost 6 cubes ported so based off that a 4th would be like 10!

Not a 4th but a t-line like you suggested

Even still you would want someone to run the specs to see what it's suggesting 5.58 cubes at 17hz!?

That sub may actually work in a t-line. The fact that it would work in that large of a ported box means it would be more likely to control itself in a t-line. It has a pretty decent Vas and a low Qms, which helps explain the box size. All that plus the low Fs makes it look like a large box low end woofer more for home audio use, IMO. Made to reproduce low rumbles. I mean they recommend you tune it to 20 hz lol. That's almost certainly home audio oriented.

These! Fs is 41.6 and rms is 500.

So, one 12” (the Dayton UM) or a pair of 8’s( the sa’s Bobby linked), which I actually had looked at earlier? I’m down with either of the 2 brands. Wonder which would require a smaller box? Or even which would model best for a t-line.

The fs on those sundowns is a little higher then ideal for a t line but I had an SA 12 in a t line that sounded amazing so all depends on design

Still have the box! If you find yourself in st.louis I'll sell it cheap!

Why dimensions is the box? Just want an idea of what size enclosure Im looking at.
