Default RE H/T Sub design

I am just finishing up a new Home Theater subwoofer. I chose an RE SE15 for the driver. Designed for car audio, but will work very good in this alignment. It has plenty of excursion and is relitively cheap. The box is 5ft3 tuned at 20Hz. I have a 1000 watt plate amp I will put on the back of the cabinet. Finish is Line-X.

Hard to see if you got bracing in that Box. I saw the other stereo subs you made (sweet) so you definitly know what your doing, but I hope you got enough bracing, because man it looks like that driver is going to need it.

nice clean finish by the way.

Can't see it, but it's there. Box is stout.

That's looks to be sealed, no? How many watts is it getting? How low will it dig at -3db? Is it good for music, too? Looks sweet!

It's ported. Down 3db at 19Hz or so. It sounds great with music and movies. 1000 watt plate amp....
