What are the benifets or drawbacks of the two differant types of cabinets for the ob servo subs? I've seen people build them in the h-frame and the w-frame. This sub will be used for mostly 2 channel along with a set of ob 7's. It will do some 5.1 duty. these will be paired with an emo,umc1and an ips1.

Resonance Issue

But probably not with the plan at 80 Hz.

Here is an old discussion on it.

The H frame breaks it up better with bracing as the baffle is right up the center.

The W frame has slightly larger diagonal areas and the whole top that can't be braced.

And yes these woofer do put some pressure on the side panels.
