Every Loefah record I got pushes that bitch to the max. Love it.

Built by hand. Got a P-Audio SD-18 driver. Powered by a QSC RMX 2450 Mono Bridged at about 800w.

Nice one! I'm just in the process of building one of these myself, but having an absolute prick of a time trying to get a SD-18 over here... argh! Precision Audio won't ship from the UK (and it would be heinously expensive at 17 kg a piece) and the australasian retailers no longer stock the SD-18... and won't get em in unless I'm after 10!

THat looks mint tho, so I'll find a way!

i know how you feel, thief.

we don't have distribution for precision devices audio over here. what i REALLY wanted to build was a 1850 horn aka "The Looney Bin":

unfortunately, that requires a pd-1850 and no one stateside carries that driver. kills me. but honestly, the X1 is a sub machine! i'm gonna end up building a couple of hd-15's to stack on top of it for kick horns.

check usspeaker.com for the sd-18's. they might ship out your way and it'd be cheaper than getting it from the uk, im sure.

yea the looneys are pretty mental. if you can't get the driver for it, have a look at designs for the LAB - some guys run a rig based around 8 of those here in Bristol and it's almost like they were designed/tuned with dubstep in mind. So deep. :x

Man I think I want to build one. I have all the tools. I have to wait till spring tho as I have to cut outside. Lots of research to do in the meantime.
