for a mere $40 more than you spent, i have a big (13.5" 50lbs and 1600w rms sweet baby jesus) subwoofer, along with a box that i built myself that cost nothing..
i did pay ~$300 for the amp tho..
I couldnt get it so cheap though.. sooo a voided argumentative piece lol

8" $40 woofer, with 20w rms could out do your 86db. And thats the point. small wattage, no draw on the electrical, cost effective.
Spreading the word already.
Did you build one? I recall you asking me about it.
The distortion that the horn lacks makes it much more pleasant to the ears. At one point, I had six Tuba HT's in my rig. Sonic bliss. 500 people partys powered with less then 4k watts. Shame no one around town would pay to haul out cabs that huge.
My rabbit's going to get the larger, re-folded version of the AT that's in the plans. No idea what I'm doing up front. Wonder if I can track down some HL10c's for that build....
