i have been working @ home for the past 2 weeks (fitting a new kitchen) and that means ive been able to listen to my humble rig as much as i wanted the way i wanted (almost 8 hours a day-straight and fairly loud-wife is @ work) well the point is that the wo32 is so good, it makes every other sub i own seem flawed!  and that is a pity, because i like my bass, but when its not comming from the 32 its missing a lot? so if your enjoying your bass and you dont want to spoil your pleasure, dont build a wo32?

[quote author=gexter  link=1127934171/0#1 date=1127949505]Thats great!
I am been tossing the idea of building a WO32 with Steves drivers for too long.
it's just a reminder how good they are.
Right now its on the list before the Imp SO, because I even have a place for it now .
Got to have something to do this winter you know!

Hi guys,  I have a couple of questions if you don't mind ???  I have a pair of Radial 3.0's.  I have had them for about a month now and they are breaking in nicely.  I love what they do but would like to be able to go down to about 20 hz.  I have been thinking about getting ether an Wo or wo32, my ownly concern is the 3.0's 3 db down point is somewhere around 35 hz and the wo32 and the wo's 3 db down point is 28hz.  Now from what I read the subs sound GREAT  but do to the fact I don't have the tools to build one I would have Bob Z build it for me.  Do you think it would be worth the $1,000.00 just for a couple of more hz about 7 ?

see, the idea is to cross your radials over to the sub at a higher frequency, so that they play the higher frequencies more cleanly, let the WO handle from 60 and down, and get the bass out of the radials with a simple first order cap inline, youll lose a bit of sensitivity with that, but it will actually help the integration of the sub.

I want a WO32, but I don't have the tools, the skills, and I am lousy with geometry.  I am going to get Ziggy to build me a Cadillac version of the WO32 when I get ready to use it.  I am still in search of the perfect amp setup to drive it.

Hey Match what makes up a Cadillac version?
I will be making a WO32 this winter.

Playtheblues- practically speaking a couple Hz is not worth it. I would just give them a quick phone call to ask direct.

Gex

well I have not built one yet, but 7 hz ? thats not much but I guess I will reserve my opinion until I have one built and can play with the crossover points.
the Ear will tell me

Best of everything, including piano black finish.  I just don't have the skills to build my own.  I still have to hire someone to build it for me, so I might as well get Ziggy to do it.  I admire you guys that have the skills, and the tools.  I would guess tools are needed, right?  Oh, and learning how to tell the difference between a right angle and a circle.  Is there glue involved?  Maybe a hammer?

Well I believe you guys, it just that he is looking at $1000 for 7Hz I just don't see it as practical.
I am not saying that if a person has the money he should'nt. I would not pay $1000 for 7 Hz
I can get 7 Hz for much cheaper than that.
I do realize the sound?feeling differance its the price that makes me say "practical" I don't know if you guys get my point.

I can tell the diff between 28 and 20 but how much am I ( myself ) willing to pay for it.
I just got to hear/feel 13-16Hz at least 100db or better. took a couple days for my ears to go back to normal and one day for for me to stop feeling sick to my stomach. We used two big SV subs to do it.

Must be getting old.

Gex,

you wanna know cheap.
My 5 1/4 WO is driven by a single channel of a pioneer HT receiver that was throwing the garbage and the one channel was shorting it out. I removed the one bad shorted channel and usea $20 diskman or my sons Nomad  and a surplus $5.95 crossover at 80Hz

thats my sub that I use in my trailer while its parked in my back yard. My son and I use it for our escape zone to get away from all the females in the house.  

thats cheap.

I go through dumpster at repair shops and sometime I fix it and sometimes I don't. other times I remove the good stuff for my parts bins.

Only in my own mind
I am breaking all my rule of use reuse with my WO32. Not even recycled screws in that baby.

by the way sorry I could not get you the answer that you needed
Gex

Match....Yeah Tools ARE required...you hit the nail
right on the head.  Also it helps if you have some good
noodles inside that other Head.

I'm thinking of building a 2nd WO & stacking it.
Four 10" drivers, 2 Horn mouths joining in unison.
Smaller than 1 SO
