There are free plans on some manufacturer websites for standard front load cabinets based around the speakers they build, you might also try looking around at speakerplans.com. Or if you don't really want to build (just trying to keep $ low) maybe put a WTB ad in the marketplace section here. |

If this is to be a drummer's monitor sub, then horn-loaded subs are probably not the best solution as there is some small delay introduced by the horn path length of the cabinet, anywhere from roughly 5-10ms could be introduced depending on the design. While I personally prefer the efficiency of a horn sub for general PA applications, for a drummer's sub I would prefer front loaded. |

I would use the Eminence tools to build a small volume box for the Kappa Pro, or use some of the other free design tools to build a box based on the driver specs. Keep in mind the tuning of the box is VERY important to get right. |

just download WinISD from here http://www.linearteam.dk/default.aspx?download=winisd it has your driver parameters already inside. |

You won't find a good horn sub with a small footprint anyway. |

What do you call a small footprint? |

Define "good". Define "small". The JTR Growler and the Danley TH-Mini are both quite compact and are supposed to sound quite good. |

Eminence 3015LF neo in a small front loaded cab would be ideal IMO. Use WinISD to get some box parameters and port length/sizing. Les |

Hi, Eminence have the plans for your driver on their web site. No need to buy their software. The pdf is on the same page as the spec sheet for the driver. If you phone them, they will email you the pdf for the older version of the driver. Iain. |

HD15 is not a sub. It is a kick bin. Good 80-150 Hz. |

Another stupid question... can someone explain, in layman's terms, Bandpass vs Sealed vs Vented... I am assuming the sealed is just that with no port and the vented is ported? I probably know what is what, just not these terms. Thanx! L |

I saw spec sheets with charts and figures, but no blueprint or the like... |

A step by step of how to build it... speaker building for dummies if you will. I'm a guitar player...
Thanx! Now if I can get my procrastinating rear in gear... |

Just the thickness of the material. 18mm that is. |
