Here at ABTEC we have been known to build Subwoofer Enclosures that can be a little different to the norm. We have built SPL Enclosures capable of 155+db (With the right amp, subwoofer & environment), low tuned Ground-Pounder Enclosures, beautifully sounding Loaded Horn Enclosures and everything in between.
