Re: Is this a good DIY sub deal?

Well, remember that $400 includes the cabinet too, so I'm actually looking for a driver/amp package to be around $250 or less. And I think 10" will do OK for my application - mostly music - no need for LFE or Home Theater use - so 40Hz is probably all I need. I'll build a HT sub at some other time when I upgrade my Onkyo HTIAB setup.

So, a sealed cabinet would be good. I'm sure I can find software to tell me the enclosure size I need given the driver's specs. I guess what I'm looking for is plans or a process to follow to build it.

Oh and one other "sub" question, 4 ohm vs. 8 ohm... what is the difference besides 8 ohm costing less? Given the same exact speaker in a 4 ohm or 8 ohm version, which is 'better?'

Thanks!
