Some more thunder from down under


Hi everybody

I am currently a First year university student studying at Adelaide uni, despite my full time commitments most of my time is spent studying Audio forums and constructing speakers. So far i have built 3 subs and two full range speakers. My main passion is subwoofers for home theater (and pro sound). I refuse to watch movies if the walls are not rattling, i do not even go to the cinemas anymore because they fail to reproduce the LFE with enough impact 4 18inch cinema subs is what i would run in my HT room not a 500 seat cinema My nest project is going to be a LLT vented 15 (maybe two) however finding drivers in Austalia is very hard and shipping from the states kill that idea (with a uni student budget)

In Australia Home Theater components are VERY EXPENSIVE for example Klipsh's sell a 12 inch sub with a 400 Watt amp which retails for $3,999 here in Australian Although it does sound impressive i cannot and wouldn't pay that much. This is the main reason i decided to start building my own subs. Currently i have a cheap Venom (no name chinese speaker) in a 150L vented enclosure running of a 350 watt RMS plate amp. In comparison with some projects here it would not even rate but many friends parrents have $1,000 10 inch subs (that are pathetic in comparison) love mine. Following my discovery of the BFD guide i have decided to buy a BFD (i'm waiting for it to arrive ) with the intention of flattening the subs response.

Anyway i look forward to positivily contributing to the forum in as many ways as i can, Thank you for providing such a great Audio visual Forum Thank you to everyone who make the Home Theater Shack happen
