Great looking subs!  Very nice work.

I love the last pic of 4 LABs with 2 small highpacks on top!  I don't think those 2 small cabs are gonna be able to keep up with 4 LABs  hehehehehehe  Laughing

Not sure what mid/hi speakers are used in the outdoor shots, but the ones in the shop looked to be Behringer! What a combo!

Sorry!
I do not know because I found this site on the net. I am from Europe too, but from Sweden. I have plans to build a pair of subs and was looking for plans and photos. I think it is som kind of silicon to keep the driver chamber sealed.

Hi Guys,

I build these 4 pieces a year ago, I ve sold them.
I've bought AG Audio Pro TS-118H with a woofer similar to the VOID 18-1000.  Shocked

This 4 Labhorns were amazing, and yes they got handles, 2 handles cutted in the end of the hornmouth, en 2 in the upper rearcorner.

The brown rubber is isolating material used to seal windows, works great !

Those speakers look alot like a Martin WSX. So how do these new speakers compare to the Labhorns? From the brochure I take it they are physically smaller. Do they have as much low end extension as the Labhorns?

Hey,

They look like, but they haven't the same dimensions !

The speaker weights 21kg !  Twisted Evil

And no, they don't go as low as a Lab goes, but seriously, I don't need it !

Hope I'll reveice my pieces this month ! I'll post some pictures of them on this forum !

it seems very similar to the WSX.Same cutoff,~same horn length.
2 WSX in a small club are great Very Happy

the horn length seems to be 2.15m, how did they fit the same length horn in a box 6" shorter than the WSX but practically identical otherwise?

nice of them to include internal layout Smile

It might just be a few inches shorter. In a cluster it wont be noticed audibly.

hi, this is my first post here. I was wondering how the LABs compared to that stack of 2*18 subs you also pictured? Thanks

Labs where louder, went lower and had more headroom.

Sounded also better (not the same amoutn of THD than the 16 18") and the throw was just better.
