I have a very nice pair of subwoofers now that I built about five years ago so that is still an idea. I'm not sure because I keep tossing different ideas around in my head.

I'm going to retire sometime next year so this is going to be a retirement project for me. I have to check my finances to see what I can really afford. If money were no object I'd be ordering some GPA 416s.

I have a pair of VOTT A5s with braced and insulated 828 cabinets. They sound amazing, but still don't go loooooow, even with the 515Bs I have in them.

I made a pair of these bucket subs Bucket Sub and haven't looked back. I know...they look pretty cheesy, but the 28-53Hz they supply blends perfectly with the 515Bs. Do not knock it until you've tried it. I use a Crown XLS 1500 to power and crossover. The beauty is you can't even tell they are playing, that is, until you turn them off; then the bottom drops out and the 515Bs sound like mids.
