Somewhere around here I have a test review of it from 1996 or 1997 I believe, will try to dig it up for you, to get an idea on box sizes.

i have used a few over the years. 4 cubic feet (gross) vented, dont run alot of power as its not needed, 250-300 watts rms is just fine. and be prepared they like to break and there are no parts anywhere to fix it. you will need a high order crossover, 24db/octave minimum at 50-60hz, no higher, and dont overdrive it, you will break one of the vanes and be out of luck. if you do it right you will hear deep bass extension that you likely havent heard before

NOOOOO!!

Sorry Shon.. gotta disagree with you on this one. The Cyclone doesn't need a monster amp. 250-300 at the very MOST (at 8Ohms!) ... If you ever want to get rid of it though, let me know. I'd love to have a 2nd one! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Oh.. and these are made to play very low, so you'll also want a good set of mid-bass
