Danley DTS-10 "Super Spud" DIY kit - Page 3

Penn, I was thinking about 3 or 4

But 2 would be a good start.

How many dbs do you usually get with room gain? It's around 10-20db depending on the room, right? That would mean, you can expect about 130-140db @ 11hz @ 1m. Holy monkey!!

Only if its a very small room, like the size of a car

normal HT rooms might get 6dB of gain.


3 or 4??

I know that feeling

Ha haa! Ok. So the numbers dip to 126db @ 11hz @ 1m. Still pretty amazing. With 3 of them co-located, I could have that at my listening position

Ha haa! Now that you're helping others build rooms, you're spreading the joy too

Really!? This was during movie demo material, correct? Which movie?

Just to clarify...I was told that the final cab is these dimensions by Tom.

60"x42"x16"

The width keeps being noted as different values, which probably wouldn't matter for most, but it does for me . This means that you can stack them 2 high in about 7ft give or take for fitting under those low ceilings. 4 would make a nice 10ft wide by 7ft tall and 16" deep wall of subwoofage behind a screen.

What about that possible price point quoted by Ivan for the kit?



Mr. Hedden,

I'm looking forward to your impressions of the new toys. Your familiarity with the TH50's and I assume many other high output bass devices means that if you like it, everyone else probably will too.

4 would be sick! but its cool they are only 16" wide!!

Ricci, is the exit like it is on the Spud, where it bends over two parts of the corner? Wouldn't stacking them vertically on the 42" side block half of the exit? If not then this is perfection!

What will this bad boy weigh? About 200-250lbs?

Huh? Not sure I follow you on the spud exit. It is changeable between firing out the end and firing out the side. Either, or. Not both. This guy firing out the side will not be obstructed in any way and you could probably run the exits in the 4 corners, or all in the middle might be worth trying.

I'd guess it'll be atleast 250lbs finished with all of that wood and the 2 drivers. Don't know at this point.

Ok, sorry. The picture on the website of the Spud looks like it's on both sides. My bad.

Is that 60" length or height or you could place it either way? I'm kinda confused.

When can we expect the final details on pricing/graphs etc on these?

There is a link/picture on the last page.

60" is the length, 42" is the height and its only 16" deep.

Think of it as a big DLP TV

Well, to get an idea, LAB12's cost 150/ea from partsexpress, so the modified Lab12's probably aren't going to be crazy high.
An EP2500 is ~300.00.
From there all you need is wood and shipping.
I would hope wood and shipping would be less than $1800.00!!

How did I miss that!

Assume we can turn it and put it up with 42" length and 60" height instead, can't see any problems as the mouth would still be open. Should work either way.

I would hope so considering what Ivan said.

I have a chase outside my room located on the center of my front wall. The inside dimensions of the chase are 51" wide and 30' deep. This means the only way I could place the sub is on end. The side facing the room would be 42" wide and 60" tall. Just checking to see if the exit port would be blocked. Also I only have about 15" of height below my horizontal masking when it is set to 1.78. This means not only would the port have to be on one side, but the top of the sound port could not be taller than 15". From looking at the picture it looks like it might fit as long as the sound port is not taller than 15" when you set the sub on it's side.

You should not need any clamps. If you use deep thread screws (preferably with a square drive) they should pull it together nicely. With the joints be rabbits and dados-the whole thing will "stay together" while you put it together.

We will probably have "extras" (like a bag of proper screws) and such available.

The kits will come with the T nuts installed-so you won't need those.

Here is what you need to tell your wife: Honey-look what I got for Christmas-a jig saw puzzle-Come on kids-let's put it together!

A puzzle of the adult variety.

Here is a view of insides.

The exit can be either on the front or the back. It is NOT the area where the jackplate is.

We are still talking about speakers right, or am I in the wrong forum?

If you turned it on it's end so that it was 60" high, how high off the floor would the top of the opening be?

Looks like somewhere near 20" from the 3D model. On it's side it looks like it'd be right in the 15" area.

19.5" THe bottom would be 3/4" from the floor

I have that itch again. I am thinking of comparing a few subs, all around the same price. I want to compare my subs with the eD dual 13av.2's, the Maelstrom 21, and this kit.

That should be an interesting battle. Your body will get a good tenderizing

Guys, you're freaking out unnecessarily over the shipping cost. Just plugging in some WAG size and weight numbers, it looks like it would be around $200 +/- to ship the flat-pack to Seattle which is about as far away as you can get from Atlanta. If the wood + drivers is $1K + shipping, you should be well under $2K all-in (including a good amp and an EQ which most have already so they don't really count).

I was just noticing that your window was set to 2Hz resolution and was curious if the posted plot is fully representing the true performance of the unit? The reason behind the question is that you commonly see some craziness starting to happen at around the 2 octave bandwidth point and this is showing easily 3 octaves of usable bandwidth. Also, at 2Hz resolution, a lot of the lowend could be the windowing...

The impedance plot is "only" 6.5Hz resolution and is showing some rounded spikes at places that I would expect more of a suckout...was just curious if the shape of the impedance spikes was really that rounded, or if it also was a result of the windowing function used.

I hope this doesn't come across as doubting the numbers...just trying to understand better what has been created. It looks pretty impressive so far and I can appreciate the difficulty in getting high resolution measurements at lower frequencies.

"Something that's 700L tuned to 11Hz to keep up with it would be at least a Mal-X 21 with dual 21" PRs 38mm. Mal-X 21 has 2X more power, +3dB there. That's the infra - at high freqs the Danley will have a home run."

Good point on the impedance.

But regarding the infra, I think the DTS-10 still wins, discounting whatever correction needs to be made between the measurement conditions and WinISD.

At 700 L the best I could get w/either driver and any qty of them was 84 dB.
