(...) Hi Travis, well, it weighs a lot :-) In fact, it's something about 850 to 900 kilograms. The metric ton is 1000kg, but if I'm right, the imperial unit "ton" should be a little bit more than 900kg (2000lbs). I built many parts of the (...) (16 years ago, 3-Jun-09, to lugnet.boats, FTX)

Thanks Brian (...) Your excellent graph shows that you tried to maintain the sound pressure constant.
