This project was a lesson in the folly of rushing headlong into a design without enough preparation. On the shelf was a pair of Beyma AMTs and also a pair of 12" Fane drivers. The sound of the Beyma's was a known quantity and much liked, so it was easy to imagine them in an open baffle with help from a 12" unit. This was all without condisering the constraining frequency ranges of the devices and also ignoring the very important Qt figure which is crucial to matching bass drivers to open baffles.

Notwithstanding any of this, these units were built.
