How much bass can you squeeze from a cabinet 30 inches high, 24 inches wide
and 30 inches deep? A lot. Check out this SPL Chart, which compares the Tuba
30 Slim, loaded with one Eminence Definimax 4012 driver, with one of the
premier subs on the market, the $1700 2x18 Electro-Voice MTL 1x.

But don't just go by a chart. Here's what builder Nick Birkby has to say about
his T30s:
I built two full size T30's using JBL 2206 drivers. The sound from these cabs
is nothing short of STUNNING! The bass has real authority and is fast and
dynamic!
Overall, the cabs have a way of reproducing bass in a very effortless manner,
even with with heavy DJ/ dance material. Such a change from that 'struggling
woofer' sound you get from typical 2x15 cabs. The waveform of the bass is
'tactile' if thats the right word. You can almost sense the momentum the wave
builds up while travelling the length of the horn. Like a friggin express
train when it emerges! Yes I am waxing a bit lyrical here, but the
satisfaction of firing these up was unique treat!
Construction was relatively easy for me using very limited tools. I built the
second much faster than the first, and used a handheld circular saw for the
internal cuts, the rest being cut to size by the timber guys.
The sheer presence and authority of these cabs outweighs any hauling gripes.
Big thanks to Bill and the excellent Forum resource!
