A “Repeat Offender” a good thing….

January 26, 2012

Dave has become another member of the select crazed audio club here on Classic Tube Audio. Pictured his latest “Super Sub” project. MORE POWER … in his own words: “On the side I’ve been working on a “Tuba HT” horn sub-woofer with plans purchased from http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/.  It’s finally nearing completion!  It’s quite monstrous measuring 36x36x24 but having La Scalas and A-7′s in the house, I’ve successfully conditioned my folks to be accepting of large speakers. Dave I think your parents my be relocating you after you fire this up!… Pat~
