Nice! Subbed here for sure.
Luke - How did you go about finding a supply house that will deliver BB? If you don't mind me asking, what's the going rate for a 5x5 or 4x8 sheet of 13 ply there? I've received a few quotes so far, but they wanted an arm and a leg being I was such low volume I assume.![]()

It took a while to even find a supplier that had BB in something larger than 24"x30" pieces.
If you find BB in 4x8 sheets, it's cheaper stuff from China. BB imported from Russia is only made in 5x5 sheets according to all the suppliers around here. Not sure if that's true or not.
5x5 sheet of 13-ply 3/4": $72
5x5 sheet of 9-ply 1/2": 45
Shipping for any size order within 50 miles, only $22!!

How high are you going to run the Othorns?

Small...? That's funny because I was just thinking that seem not so big yesterday. These should be cake after building g horns.
I was testing this cab with the TC 5100 driver last night. I think you will enjoy them.

How are these bad boys coming? I'm definitely interesting in building either two of these or G-horns at some point. I've found a local source for good, reasonably priced BB so I can begin to get more serious. I'm almost thinking it would be wise to keep some of my sealed 18s for the real low stuff and add in 2 of the O's to kill the mid-upper range.
How does one get a hold of the detailed plans?

Just for fun I thew this together based on Josh's measurements. Now, obviously room gain will throw these numbers around quite a bit, just realize this was only for fun:

The first is comparing the GH/OTH combo in comparison to my old quad sealed setup. The second is too see how far off it is from Notnyt's system.
Again, I know how many variables will change all this, but I was bored and thought it would be fun. The fun part for me is that compared to my old system, it's still a total of 4 drivers compared to 4 drivers, and 16kw of power compared to the same 16kw of power.
