Danley Sound Labs Sound Monster

At the request of a military customer, Danley Sound Labs has created an absolute behemoth of bass. Using a steel cargo container they constructed "The Matterhorn" using 40 subwoofers and amplifiers producing 40 kilowatts of power.

Specification is -3dB @ 12 Hz and flat from 15-80 Hz. It will do 105 dB @ 250 meters.

- x40 Subwoofers
- x40 1,000 Watt amplifiers
- 20’ x 8’ x 8’ Cargo container
- 53 Sheets 4' x 8' 18mm 13 ply Baltic Birch plywood
- 645 feet of 3" x 3" 1/4" angle iron
- 23 feet of 4" x 4" square steel tubing
- 39 feet of 1" x 1" X 1/4" angle iron
- 23 lbs of .030 welding wire
- 95 Tubes of heavy duty construction adhesive
- 1100 feet of 12 Gauge speaker cable
- Approx. 5000 screws and bolts
- $200 worth drill bits

I'm not even going to attempt to model this one out in WinISD, although it would be interesting (oddly enough WinISD will accept up to 100 drivers).
