Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread


Mike P. had created a Subwoofer Database thread so that it will easier to locate threads here at Home Theater Shack that reference the various DIY Subwoofer build projects.

This thread here will be for submitting additions to that thread and will also serve as the discussion thread for the database thread. This will keep the database thread clean and organized.

If you would like to submit a suggestion, include the following:
  • Driver brand, model number and size.
  • Enclosure volume in liters and cubic feet.
  • Tuning frequency.
  • Link to your build thread (at Home Theater Shack only).


Your suggestions will be reviewed and added to the database as soon as possible.

Thanks!

There is my 12" Infinity Kappa VQ build which was done because of how well the driver measured in Ikka's testing.

Is "Kappa 12VQ" the proper name for the sub?

I think it would be "Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 VQ." I could also change the title to reflect the fact that I used the MidQ insert as two completely different subs could be made using low or high Q modes.

Re: Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread


I'll be adding the names of the builders to their related builds in the database. It should make it easier for members to find a specific build.

Re: Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread


Is this for finished projects only?
If so, how about an 'ongoing builds' thread at least? The finished projects often have information that is obsolete. Ongoing projects tend to be 'fresher'...

Re: Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread


I'm not sure what you mean by 'ongoing builds'. Can you give an example?

Re: Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread


Builds that are not yet complete, as in 'ongoing'. They are often 'fresher', any prices, suppliers and solutions are often of a newer date than completed builds in which information can be years old.

One example is my build
