here you go. have 4 of them stacked. that's exactly what you want. best sounding woofer i've heard. using deqx parametric to blend it with my tympani panels. very loud. very deep. very fast. no "box" sound.
I think rythmik has a new amp that looks interesting. i'm running A370PEQ's. the H600PEQ3 looks interesting or maybe even the HX Series (Hypex module based).

Hey Hemholtz good to see you still here and still DEQX'ing.
I don't forum much. Not sure if I'm forum or against 'em. (hehehe)
ANYWAY- I have wanted to build 2 pair of GR Research servo open baffle subs to add to my tri-amped MG 3.6 / DEQX system for a long time. Too many other projects first.
As far as the fellow who said "not much benefit to a dipole subwoofer" I think it's not the dipole radiation pattern that's the advantage- the advantage is NO BOX. It's more or less just the woofer diaphragms moving, you're not putting energy into a bunch of wood of the cabinet, which has to come back out- and some will come back out as sound, in a wrong time relationship with the rest of the music. So the theory of box vs boxless goes.
Too bad Rythmik doesn't make servo that you can use your own amps with.
I have a few channels of ICEPower ASP-1000 amps that could be put into use.
HemHoltz,Would you recommend 2/stereo side, 3/stereo side or mono stack ?
Is 4 sufficient to keep up with 3.X's ?
How low do they go (usable)?
Any vibration issues with all drivers going in the same direction in the H-Frame (e.g. no force cancellations)?
TIA

I would use 4, but I guess it depends on the room. I have them stacked 4 high and shoot it down the length of the room behind the panels that are set up on the long wall. A six stack would be interesting as it would be more of a line source. A space between the cabinets would accomplish the same thing I suspect.
They can certainly play subsonic with "feeling."
Seems to work pretty well - the top one hasn't fallen down yet. there are rubber feet on it, but I still need to reposition it occasionally after a high spl set.

Funny, maybe you need a pair of something like these ?
