RU Drivers

Anybody have any experience with what Robot Underground is cobbling together? Such as this $89 shipped 15" Adire/TC frankenstein.

They seem pretty low tech and just now got a WT3 to get a couple of specs on the drivers they are putting together. They would be pretty darn economical if you could put a enough EQ to them it would seem...
any thoughts?

Xmax - 18mm one way, (36mm p-p)
Fs - 35 Hz
Vas - 3.34 cubic feet
Qts - 1.026

For the $10 + shipping difference between this and a AE-IB15, I can't see any reason to buy something cobbled together with no tech support and probably no warranty...

True enough, I can't wait for the day when I am living in my own place and can build one of these. Right now I am loving the sound of my XJ-15 in 6' tube. Although doubtless my neighbors are not. Maybe they think its just thunder. I've even considered semi-temporary solutions like someone on this forum who placed theres in a closet door essentially... hmmm, now theres and idea...

Looks like a great deal if you want to put together a car sub (they supply a bar grill, terminals, and other accessories) for cheap with a decent driver, but certainly not for an IB build when there is the AE IB15 and the DPL-15 out there for so cheap.
