Tuba 60

Tuba 60 is the whopper of our subwoofer line, and not just by dint of its size. Like in the familiar fast food slogan you can build your Tuba 60 'your way'.

For an unexcelled combination of extension and sensitivity you can build a 60 x 30 x 30 inch monster loaded with two twelve inch woofers. It offers performance good enough for even the top ranks of pro-touring sound, as seen in this SPL chart, which compares the 2x12 loaded T60 to the 2x21 loaded EAW 2001:

Or you can build a 60 x 30 x 15 inch 'Slim' version loaded with a single twelve: The low profile of the 1x12 allows placement in front of or even beneath stages, and when it's time to pack up optional built-in wheels and handles make the T60 its own hand truck.

And you can build something in between the two extremes, like a 60 x 30 x 27 inch cab loaded with a fifteen inch woofer, with the response shown here:

What's most important is that you can build this pro-touring concert sound capable sub woofer for as little as about $400 and get performance that is the equal of commercial subs retailing for up to ten times the price.

Construction Degree of Difficulty: 5

Performance Quotient: 10

1 cab up to 200; 2 cabs up to 500; 4 cabs up to 2,000; 8 cabs up to 6,000; 12 cabs up to 10,000

Equivalent Retail Value: $2499 to $4499, depending on cab size and driver complement
