In an effort to upgrade the low end of my HT on a budget I grabbed up a few of the last remaining MFW-15 sub drivers. Over on AVS, Lilmike designed a front loaded horn enclosure for this driver and I thought I would try a few. This design can produce high SPL from 20hz on up with relatively little power. I will be starting off with two, powered by one channel of my EP2500, and if results are as expected, I will be adding two more.
The enclosures use some big panels so I had to improvise a panel saw. A circular saw and an 8 foot saw board works like a charm.
After cutting the side panel, I lay out the folds of the horn and drill pilot holes to locate the inner panels.
The driver is mounted in a chamber in the middle of the horn so an access panel needs to be cut on one of the side panels.
Access panel cut.
Routing the 14" hole in the baffle.
