New subwoofer pair ready!

For those that don't know, I started my DJ service, Tunes4MyParty (Houston's Premier DJ Service) as a means to fund the gear for a country music band that I'd like to start. I started off purchasing commercially produced speakers and equipment, but while I was on a quest to build up a bigger arsenal, I found myself down a path of building my own speakers using plans available on the internet.

My first pair of new subwoofers is ready, and they kick some serious booty! I'll post photos of them later, but they are folded horn subs, and I'm currently driving them with an old rock-solid Peavey CS-800. I plan to build at least one more pair of the subs, as they are designed for stacking. I also plan to build some really cool horn loaded mains here in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

A friend of mine is a bass player in the Houston area, and he took one of my subs out on a gig last Saturday night with him. The sub blew everyone away! They couldn't believe how full sounding it was, and how it filled the entire club. Just imagine what two or more of them are going to sound like when added to my DJ setup!
