Okay I’m thinking of getting this cheap tubing for those Sonotube sub projects that looks relatively easy and straight forward.
I have those JBL 15” 2226 and was thinking of snapping them tougher with the aid and assistance of friend as he as tools.
I’ve put the question on Home Theatre Shack as they have several DIY sub bass members’ projects happening on the site.
Only think I need to find is the tubing that is used for concrete pillar constriction, basically its cast mould for the concrete to set in.
I have looked though local yellow pages and all I see is (concrete ready mix) I’ll call one company in the morning and find out where I can find a supplier that produces the tubes.
If most Americans have brought these, tubes for around $35.00 dollars then it’s going to be rather cheap project to do.
I plan to place the tubes not vertically but rather horizontally along the each sidewall attached near to the top of the ceiling in the corners (between wall and ceiling).
I was thinking at first 12 feet. The room is only 15 and part of that is taken up from the CRT and JBL sub that stick out the most due to their depth!
So 10 feet sounds like round even number.
What I’d like, is rough idea on the frequency response, that I can stretch out of these JBL a rough wild insane guess.
Also there is an alternative to the tubing and that is the tubes that is used on (road works). I’ve noticed many projects around town and even DIY hardware music live in Bournemouth, on Old Christchurch Road a few years ago.
One was using yellow tubing that is used for gas! It had wicked low beat when banged on that was felt in the chest. Mind you this was outdoors and not indoors where it sound different.
It was basically percussion music with a lot hard beating and rhythm.
Blue tubes is used for water
Black used for fresh water (at least that’s what my dad thinks)
There’s usually off-cuts on sites that end up as scarps so who cares what you want with it. I might look around for some tomorrow while doing the shopping.
