Just wait till you see these drivers in person...I went from an 18 to the 21in and couldn't believe how much bigger they were! You're going from 15's, correct? You'll be grinning for days just from their imposing size....

Good stuff man. It's been four weeks since placing my order so I'm hoping any day now. Not a big deal as I'm still in the process of building my boxes. Pretty similar to your dimensions and design. The race is on!
I've just ordered 2 FTW21 and should get them in a week or two. Still unsure whether to do a modest pair sealed of a pair of large LLT with a 13Hz tune.

Good stuff, I'll watch with interest.

I am designing a 30 cu ft FTW21 ported sub tuned to 13hz for a chap in the states. Models 120db right down to 13hz without room gain with 2000 watts input power. Probably mid 120's from a single driver which is pretty impressive.
I though10 cu ft was better for a single sealed sub. Not sure what qtc a 6 would be.

I won't even get to start on them for 6 weeks until I have holidays. I'm hoping to use your impressions, and hopefully measurements to help decide which way to go.

500L looks OK, but I could go to 850L.

These days, I'm pretty much into sealed but an honest LLT will do tons of damage. If it works for you, a simple copy of my LLT (in sig) would perfect for the FTW-21 with just a modification of the driver cutout. Models real well.
The trick I've learned with duratex, is to use the the biggest roller you can get. Pretty much 3 swipes and the entire surface is coated, roll across you first roll and it leaves an extremely nice finish. Though i'm lucky in that I can use all my spreay EQ at work and spray the bed liner we use on truck boxes.
Great work FS!!! I just saw your build thread.If all else fails grab a coupla cans of Premium Rubberized Rocker Panel paint.... from Canadian Tire. They dry in 30 minutes.I can't wait to see your drivers installed.
Thank you for the great pictures. I am getting ready to finish my first set of speakers (no build thread yet) and I am planning on using the duratex roll on product. When you get a chance I am most interested I. What has worked and what has not. Is it the multiple coats or sand in between coats that have helped the results?
Thanks again for sharing.
