Very.
Dense.

Further details as events warrant.
It'll be a while -- this is a project*.

    Verily.

    (I need to post an "in use" DAC photo -- it's been a little nutty 'round the ol' Hardy household latterly)

    Hmmm...it's a speaker....screwed to a piece of pine....with a DENSE 10lb rock on it for stabilization.

    What is lemon zester!
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Dual 12 inch coaxes in one box? Cripes...I was thinkin ten inch at most...but a dozen inches....sweet! (Apologies, I like a bit of detective work!)

    Bigger. :)

    Based on appearances, I would think this thing is brown-note-compliant.
    Oh, and mrbiron, it is (to the best of my knowledge) 100% rock free.

    Much work remains to be done -- right now, we're looking at two beefy 15" dual VC drivers mounted in an -- interesting -- configuration in a massive MDF prototype box.

    ... but the thing certainly looks purposeful; I have to think it will be good for something, audio-wise.

    Looks like bottom woofer is slot loaded with the floor or a bottom panel?

    The bottom woofer fires "up" into the sealed enclosure (it's back side hangs out in the breeze, as the photo shows, albeit none too clearly).

    The other woofer fires "out" of the front of the enclosure. You'll have to take my word for now; it's too danged heavy to drag out of its current (temporary) resting place :)
