I'll be posting this in a couple of forums, so I apologize if it's redundant. My initial thought and one I keep coming back to (due to a lack of some pricier tools such as a router and lack of mathematical prowess:scratchhead is to purchase a pre-made sub cabinet along w/a strong BASH amp from Parts Express and make a sealed sub as I believe it may be a bit easier for someone in my situation.
I'd like to build a unit as close as possible to the PB12 that's ported, size is not an issue for me and I could get someone to help me w/cutouts of an MDF box, but the actual dimensions and tuning would be difficult not knowing the parameters needed for the ISD driver using WinISD and having read that sealed subs are easier to build for most, this is why I'm leaning in this direction.
I'd actually like to build one that doesn't have quite the extension as my existing 20-39 PCi w/the new NSD driver, but maybe has a bit more output around the 25-30Hz range. I thought going the sealed route might be the best way to achieve this, but I'm not sure if I'd want to go w/a smaller cabinet (1.0 cu ft) or slightly larger (2.0 cu ft). Either way, I believe using a sealed cabinet will need a stronger amp, hence the bump up to the 500w amp.
Any suggestions or ideas on this? Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance... -TD
