I was absolutely blown away by the sound quality - of course being a Rythmik you build it yourself - Took almost 3 months, but it was totally worth it... Oh and rather build than build the standard black Box i turned it into a Rubik's Cube:

I always thought it was a conspiracy until now. On a more serious note, last year or two years ago was the 25th anniversary of the Rubik's cube. I'm getting old.

Let's see the punk spin THIS thing around! Zach your photos and presentation are first rate. So, like, how does it sound? PS, I peeled off the stickers and pasted them back on to solve it.

Zach, We've got a System Pics thread in the Speakers section. Could you post some pics of the sub and rest of the system over there? The guys would love it.

I think they like it more than i do now, but while building, it was a CONSTANT fight, haha. I'm just happy i got it into place and don't have to move it anymore! Stu Pitt Thanks Stu! will do! As for me i must confess when i was little i ripped off the stickers too. I bought a new one for photo purposes shortly after completion, jumbled it only very slight then tried to solve it ...2 hours later i found a web site that allowed you to put in your coordinates and gave you the method - oof! The next step here is to build a working Rubik's Cube sub that weighs in around ~150, the challenge will be to work it while blasting death metal, bwahaha!

It's a great driver and an even better amp. As i said in the blog, i played around with the cross, but where my speakers tend to roll off this thing kicked in with unexpected clarity. I had listened to Velodynes on my system before (just for testing) and i was planning on getting one for the home theatre, but they taught me to never stick one with a stereo - it covered up my low end on the fronts and didn't perform under them as i had wished. This sub has/is slowly converting me to using it with my stereo, i've actually gone through and listened to some of my favorite music and been re-wowed.}
