    Adjusting the subdriver ballast vent/blow mechanism

    David,

    Mike Caswell used to have a YT video showing you discussing how to make step by step adjustments to the vent/ blow mechanism in the 2-2.5 inch subdrivers. Unfortunately the video is gone. Hope you could make a new one or post a guide manual here.
    Make it simple, make strong, make it work!

      I don’t know if it will help you, but I found this.

          Apparently the Caswell stuff is no longer available. Out of my hands.

              Thanks Das but it was specific to David's 2-3" subdrivers. There are 3 adjustment points were you could alter or fine tune vent and blow (how much propel to released) i

                  David, that might be a good video to do for your YouTube channel.
                  If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                      Would be quite helpful as there are still a lot of subdriver owners out there.
