W frame OB sub
« on: 12 Mar 2025, 03:55 pm »
I'm looking to build a Double Trouble OB subwoofer.
I see lots of H frame build. None of the W Frame.
I like that the W frame is smaller than the H frame (23.5 inches vs 26).
Question: any difference in sound quality between the two?

The W-frame hasn't been recommended for nearly 20 years. I started my OB servo sub journey with a W-frame and replaced it with an H-frame. The H-frame is definitely better, both sonically and structurally.

H frame it is then.

The only advantage of the W frame is that it makes it a little shorter.

The W frame also leaves a larger unbraced area in the front. So side panels need to be thicker to compensate for that.
