Subwoofer Database Addition Suggestions and Discussion Thread

**Sonnie** · **02-09-08, 12:02 PM**

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!

Here is a bunch of Dayton builds;

Sub Puppies: Dayton 12" Titanic Mark III, 45 L (1.6 cubic feet) sealed, 33.8Hz box tune

Dipole Sub, Dual Dayton Clearance 12" drivers (works well with Elemental Designs EHQS-12s too), n/a, n/a

Budget Stubby Sonosub, Dayton SD315-88 12" SHIELDED DVC, 127 L (4.5 cubic feet), 26.5 Hz box tune

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?

**vinculum** · **02-10-08, 12:21 PM**

GREAT Idea. I dont know how many times I've tried to relocate something I've seen in the past!

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.

Thanks Andrew. I changed the database name to Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 VQ.

Forgot this one;

8" Transmission Line Sub, Dayton SD215-88 8" Shielded DVC Subwoofer, Length = 90 inches, Sdo = 34 in^2, tuned to 33 Hz.

Thanks. Build added.

**Mike P.** · **02-11-08, 02:36 PM**

As far as I can tell I've completed the database. If I missed anyone please post a link here and it will be added. Thanks.

Looks good. Now someone should make a speaker database <puts finger on nose and says "not it">!

**Mike P.** · **02-13-08, 06:26 AM**

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.

**hddummy** · **03-06-08, 06:58 AM**

Love the Database thread....thanks!!!

**atledreier** · **03-06-08, 07:18 AM**

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'...

**Mike P.** · **03-06-08, 07:35 AM**

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

**atledreier** · **03-06-08, 07:43 AM**

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

**Mike P.** · **03-06-08, 03:57 PM**

Ok, I see what you mean. The intention of the database is to give people an idea as to what is possible with a specific sub as to box size, tuning etc. The SoundSplinter RL-p18, for example, has builds ranging from 7.7 cu. ft. to 26.8 cu. ft. Anyone who wants to use a RL-p18 can look at the database and see what others have done. As for "ongoing builds", if a thread has a "design" selected and pics of the build, it will be added to the database.

**ccdoggy** · **03-07-08, 06:22 PM**

Both of those posts on my sub are actually the same. they have slightly different values as in the larger one i dident take in consideration of the port and bracing in the volume, and the tune should have been 14 on both.

Thanks for the awesome list!

**Mike P.** · **03-07-08, 07:23 PM**

Thanks for the heads up. Corrections have been made.

Here's the build for my first and only home-theater specific subwoofer. It housed a Dayton Quatro 15" for the first five years, now it houses a Exodus Tempest-X:

http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...tml#post133372

Edit: Oops, forgot the detailed specs:

1st build: Dayton Quatro 15" QT385-4, 275 liters/9.71 cubic feet, 11Hz,
2nd build: Exodus Tempest-X (first build), 275 liters, 12Hz

Note: added about 50% polyester stuffing for the Tempest-X, in attempt to increase apparent enclosure volume. Can't really say what the actual apparent volume is, but I was hoping for at least 300 liters/10.6 cubic feet.

Here's the thread I just created for my 7 year old Sonosub.
http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...y-sonosub.html
Specs:
Driver: 15" Dayton DVC
Cabinet: 214L
Tuning: 15.4 Hz

Is this still maintained? I noticed the thread is quite old...

**Mike P.** · **07-15-09, 10:41 PM**

The Database is constantly updated. Any additions don't affect the original posting date. Your sub build has been added.
