| Learning the Basics: Question 1, hz differences
In my quest to learn as much as many here and prepare for building my first SUB I've been encouraged to just ask, ask, ask.
This will begin a series of questions that I hope everyone will chime in and help a newbie become converted to a DIYer.
Question:
I noticed that when building and tuning subs there is a range of hz that many shoot for (12-20). Practically speaking how noticeable in a HT (movies) enviroment is with a 15hz sub versus a 17hz sub?
(based on my research I am thinking of building an 18 inch Mach5 IX with a sonosub and a EP2500 amp...tuned to 17hz). This last sentence is almost cut and paste from suggestions...I really am not as fluent in the terminilogy...kinda like know a little spanish and trying to speak with a native)
Keep in mind that my only point of reference is my SVS PB12. This is all I've ever known (and really like by the way) however I am very intrigued and quite honestly it is hard to image how sub could be better than my current (but I do believe everyone also that says it can get much better.
My room is 14x24x8.5.. pics attached.
