Ported, deep tuned design.

Cabinet built+finished in Ohio (Satin Black)
18 inch B&C(Italy) Neo woofer.
960w ICE amplifier built in Ohio

24(h) x 21.5(d)x 28.5(w) Depth and Width sort of interchangeable depending on how you prefer to orient it.

Port is on the same baffle as the amplifier ala' the V1512df layout.

I will have the final FR charts within a few days. This will perform nearly identical to the very popular TV1812.

All pre-orders should be fulfilled by the end of August.

King of downfiring subwoofers? Low tuning and massive driver in a downfiring cabinet. What's not to love? Now you can have your subwoofer and keep your kids (dogs?), too.

Its not a bad mix of performance, component quality, and USA assembly. Add in 5 year bumper to bumper and solid customer support and it should be fairly popular I think. Not sure about "king" of anything though..:) We'll see how it does. I know the S1512df sells very well. And the V1512df did too until the TV1512 was offered.

what is the pre-order pricing for this? I'm contemplating a 3rd 18" to compliment my dual TV1812. The 3rd spot is an odd one so why not an odd sub to go with it.

See the production sample pictures added (post 2). This is just one of those odd shapes that seems to look smaller than it is from most angles. If I have time next week I'll put a regular TV18 and a TV21 next to it for scale.

That sub looks as solid as a tank, just the way I like them.
It would look better if,

it were in my living room. :)

How low of a port tune are we talking here?

I was going to go sealed because I want to EQ organ music, but if I can get low with these I'll reconsider :)

It's tuned to ~13 hz or so, should be able to reproduce the low C pedal (16 hz) without a problem. How big is the space it'll be in?

So much going on here lol

I see two speakers coaxial prototypes?

what are those four woofers off the the right? Is that your DVC testing rig?

Nice Xbox 360 I still have mine

14hz(+/- a fraction) for the this one. We're still swamped with fulfilling orders so I don't have gobs of time for it right now. By the end of next weekend I should have the final DSP/FR done and posted here. In room will be 11-12hz for anything less than an auditorium sized room though.

TV1812df tune(and some outside stuff we just finished). Tune ended up just slightly above 12.9. (see big dip). I changed the range from 10hz on the bottom to 12.9hz on the bottom to focus on it. Pretty similar to the TV1812 so I'd expect strong output to 10-12hz in just about any room size.

Got mine preordered. Can't wait to see what they can do compared to my Marty Cubes

You diy-ers are so spoiled now..:) Back in the 90s we have like 5 drivers to use, and measurements? Yeah. One affordable program and I think it was $400 (base version) and $2000(?) if you wanted all the bells. I think it was another $300 for the cheapest(decent) mic. No one knew anything. I still remember getting on some sort of AOL group chat almost every night with the same 4-5 guys and sharing everything we tried and measured. Some was "yeah, expected". But some of it was "okay, THAT is weird". And then the rest of us would try to duplicate the findings as a sort of peer review. Just years of that. No intent, at all, to every start a company. Just a group of guys having fun. Tom Nousaine was our collective go-to guru when we needed answers and he was always so humble about all of it. True "white hat" in the industry. Another guy no one ever heard of was Stan M. If I never bumped into Stan on a welding forum no less(putting the 8 point cage in my Chevelle) svs never happens, psa never happens.
