Two LMS 5400's for $1800(if they are still available) and then paying someone to build should still come way under one OS. One GH would have more output than one OS. Why? More excursion and horn loaded as well. If you want deeper extension than multiple sealed or LLT's tuned to 11 hz are the way to go. The GH is 45x45x24 just so you know.

Here are Gorilla's 4 dual opposed (8 drivers). They are sick, that man is into some serious high output + high performance. His subs are called the silverbacks and if you can DIY straight copying his is not a bad route to go. I suspect he will offer up all the free advice you can handle.

Popalock is doing a build with something like 16 of them. There's a pic in rilla's thread after pop went down to NC to pick up his woofers and a bunch for some other folks and he standing in front of a massive wall of woofers in box's, pretty sweet.

If I understand correctly, and I may not, They are not as high end as say the LMS 5400 driver but they are very good and a lot of the DIY'rs think they are such high value that they just throw a bunch of woofers at the problem so it is a very low distortion situation and the multiple woofers flatten the response. They are achieving very high end results for some of the smallest prices around. The LMS is expensive.

Roger that, You can buy kits where you just put the finish on the box. Everything is pre-cut, I suppose you do some screws and wood glue and such. Like I said, I enjoy following some of the DIY builds but I don't have the time or skills so I buy from the ID commercial fellas. If you count the time you put into DIY and pay yourself a reasonable wage it's not all that different.

The LLT's MK mention have always intrigued me. They get the benefit of a ported design without the drawbacks by making the tune sooo low.
