Anybody want to help me with a hybrid design?

If anyone is interested in the near future, I want to attempt a hybrid between a series 6th order bandpass and a transmission line. Now this enclosure is going to be relatively HUGE. You're going to need a good amount of space, depending on the woofer size. You should be able to run this on full power of the woofer, the woofer will have loading.

You know, if you've got something like a spare 8, 10 or 12 just sitting around.

I've got a Skar EVL-65 just sitting here... it's for a t-line project but as of now it is brand new... I've got a RF power 50x2 to power it with max rated RMS...(200+)... I'm game... I've got nothing but time on my hands... LOL!.. I CAN build fairly well as long as I have CLEAR direction... I've got 25 years working with systems and the experience should have it's advantages... I know it's not a big bad sub but maybe It'll make a nice little side project... Wanna' give it a try?

Email at buck.box.designs@gmail.com so I can put you on the list. It'll be low priority atm, I've got a few designs a must do before I can play.

what would you say if that 6.5 can get you into the low 140s. I've seen a pair of massive sumo 6.5s break 145 on 1000 watts along with semi hair tricking.

@shredder1

We could try an SPL version

LOL!... with a 6.5?... I'll bet you mean 2 12's... can't do anything THAT big in mom's car... I'ts hers... I really do not drive... she pretty much gets me there... I may drop her at a mall or whatever... But I'm NOT comfortable behind the wheel anymore... I'd LIKE to try... but it'll be basically a wall... and that won't work...

What do you think materials might come to... MDF, PVC... etc... I have some but it just got allocated to my Blazer... I'm game tho...

Just MDF, slot ports, wood glue. Just the basics

 

[shredder1 10+ year member]

I'm down with that for sure... you can do all the T/S modeling I'm sure and I'll just need the basics like volumes, port area... etc... a diagram as to how you envision it might be helpful as well... if this thing works out I'll put it into a 2013 Focus... the trunk one... My son has power to spare (up to 800 watts)... space limitations are 38 w x 14 h x 24 d... does it sound feasible?..

Still deciding what to do next. Time and money are both short though
