How active is this forum when it comes to discussing the WO32 really? It seems to me its rather calm in here... no?
How many WO32-builders are there in the world? When browsing throug this forum its mere handful of names discussing it. Or?  :-/

I guess it's much about marketing and depending on how many people find their way to Decware and then spreading the info on and so on but when you read around on the net,  searching for the "ultimate subwoofer", this is one of the places one ends up in. Other places are of course fine brands with ready built subwoofers, often active ones such as SVS, Paradigm and so on. Has anyone made any "scientific" comparisons between a WO32 and lets say a SVS ? Or any other brand for that matter?

Just trying to get some activity in here, and perhaps creating some debate about good and bad about the WO32.

I apologize if this topic is an earlier discussed one but I thought that maybe a new thread would stir things up…

Me myself don't even own a WO32 yet but the I orderd the plans for it last week so before Christmas maybe  8)  (if you read this Devon, is it on it's way anytime soon?)

Any other Swedes here btw? Or any Europeans for that matter… ?

I am still Building My Wo32.
The project was put on hold because I just had
to finish My 4 year old Panhead chopper project!

Now that the Bike is completed, I am back at the WO
project.  I have all the MDF cut and ready to nail N Glue.
But this weekend I am heading south of the border to Baja
for some Lip Pullin'

I am building the Sub at a friends Recording studio/Cabinet
shop. once it is done We will bring it in to the studio for a
frequency test and I will post the results.

I am first going to try some Klipsch 10" Aliminum coned
woofs. I am not real confident these are going to work
in this box but we'll see.  I may try some Peerless Or some
Vifa's later on.

I may end up using the ACEi SOS  (Subwoofer Optimzer System) cost: about $250.00
This unit uses a mic that plugs onto the SOS & identifies
room resonances & automatically adjusts filter parameters
to integrate the sub to the room.
The result is a flatter frequency response, lower extention,
& sound clarity.

Crossover is a Wellborne Reveille electronic 2-way,
with low pass  at 80HZ.

Each 10" Driver will have It's own Amplifier
2)  NAD 2155 Amps, Bridged Mono @250 watts each.

My goal is to have it tight & flat to 25HZ.

I Love good  tight Bass & a killer midrange. The highs are not
as critical to Me.  I have Killer Midrange thanks to Ed's Horns
& Decware amplification.
& Now I am hoping this WO Sub will do the deed.

I will give a full report after It's all dialed in to my listening room

mine is sealed,with gasket and screws,sounds great.i believe leaving a lid off and placeing it on the carpet lowers the q what ever that is and is proportedly the best option?

If you remove the lid and have the carpet act as a "vero vent" I believe it is called, you will have a lower more natural sounding bass that really shakes the foundation. If you want to put a lid on it, you can then stand it up in a corner or on legs as a coffee table. The bass will be a little more punchy but still good, believe me. Its all a matter of what you want
try both, its easy to experiment without a lid and stick one on after.

Barfind; two of them with or without a lid?

I'm building one WO32 to try it out. If it falls to my liking I already have plans on a second one and then I will integrate them in the HT-room "stage" below my screen. Nothing more than the horn opening vissible.

There's a dbx XB-140 on E-bay.  Looks new and the guy has no reserve on it @ .99....

i just got one of these dbx xb140 amps from a friend, no sub, wanting to hook it up to a passive sub i have, anybody know how to wire up this amp.  i guess left right input goes to output from receiver, then outs on the dbx to left right front speaks, but the sub out has 2 channels, how do i wire that to 1 sub???
