My Subwoofer Build

[z31maniac]

The OP said it was costructed of MDF

And?

A properly braced and built MDF box is not a problem. However that cheap shit you posted that doesn't have any bracing and a 1.5" thick baffle will resonate worse than shitty exhaust on an eta.

I can't wait to build a 12" or 15" home theater sub. I want the depth charges in U571 to crack the foundation.

It will go nice with the Peerless (with BG Neo3 PDR tweets) 2.5 way TWW I'll have as my towers and a horizontal MTM as my center.

I have a 12 for my home surround. It is SO much better than the stock shit one it came with.

Your voice cracked. lawl.

It does that sometimes

This is such a budget build its not funny.

Haha no baffle. No low pass, and no bracing. But the box does not in any way seem to be flexing.

Do I realllly need a low pass?

LOL, you don't have a crossover on it?

[5Toes]

Nope. Im poor. Well not really but I order a high pass from parts-express and i need a low, and they want to charge like $25 for the fucker.

Subs sound so much better in pair and give more impact. I have two subs, powered by a 200wpc ADCOM 5500, right behind my sofa, with crossover at 60Hz. It gives a nice foundation to any music, and it's great for movies. Low vibrations also take your sofa apart... ;-) and make your behind shake. Superb physical "rendering" of film soudtracks.

I am currently building four more subs.

^ So that's how people in Canada "decorate".

[z31maniac]

Two subs would be nice, but I'm not sure our living room size needs two subs or if I'd have the space for two properly sized sub boxes.

[5Toes]

Mys ub looks stupid in my room. Too big to sit on top of a dresser. Hahaha oh well

That's indeed how my office is decorated.

I am a devoted Kef fan. Therefore I use vintage 12" B300 units. I have 8 of them. If you are serious about bass, I suggest to spend a weekend on the net reading articles about horn oaded subwoofers and the acoustoc principles in general. I have been building speakers for 30 years and I still learn everyday. Don't be shy to experiment, that's where the fun is. Never settle on your first attempt. Build a few designs and compare their qualities and pitfalls. And BTW, for serious bass, pick drivers that are 12" and over.
