This little sub sounds nice and nimble.  I'll try to compare it directly to the bucket sub soon. 

In the upright position, its two slotted ports fire downward.  That's the way they come from PE, however; you can move the feet to transform it to be a horizontal sub where the drivers are on the top side and the slots fire sideways.  There are lots of ways to position this thing; slots firing toward the listener, or to the side or rear walls.

For $70, the quality is great.  I'm using it with a big Crown XLS crossed at 50hz or so, but any reasonable sub amp should make it sing.  I'm currently running Ed's PSTL (point source transmission lines) for the main speakers and they need very little help.  The sub does add a little grunt that is welcomed.

I'll try to post more once I can play around a little more.

edit: A picture depicting the interior (much better than me trying to describe it).

Nice to hear from some of the Members. Ive been suffering from withdrawl not seeing new posts. Can anyone recommend a good glue for the veneer on my Horns, I guess being in storage even for the short time of my move to Arkansas put the whammy on some of the sides.

I guess the weird sub will have to wait.  It seems that Parts Exp. cancelled my order and refunded my money without explanation.  Maybe next time....

edit:  01/21/25 - I just ordered another restocked unit.  Maybe this time it'll happen.

Since it's hard to discuss one's impressions on sound quality online, maybe some sound measurements would help to determine the quality of this sub.  But the price is good (considering the inflation these days).

... at least for me.  It's the mighty Dayton Audio MKSX4 Four 4" Driver Low Profile Passive Subwoofer.  Yes, it has four 4" long throw drivers that are somehow manifolded into a big square opening.  At $70 for a restocked unit, curiosity killed me.  :-[ 

It reminded me of one of Ed's creations that seem to defy intuition, physics, good sense, etc.  ;)  Once I get to play with it, I'll let you know what happens.

And, it was fun watching Kimmel cry like a little bitch.
And others too.  Kimmel was a host (with Adam Carolla) of The Man Show back in 1999 - 2003.  Something happened to him in 2016.  ???

The election was affirmation that I'm not crazy (yet).  I never believed the "too close to call" mantra embraced by the media.  And, it was hours, not weeks, before the results were obvious.

The libs are in critical condition if Kamala is the best they have.  I guess they underestimated how many voters could resist the threat of being labeled racist, etc.
