I have been on this site searching for awhile and finally decided to join so that I can get my home sub off the ground.
I don't feel like spending 600 dollars on a sub in a box.
Here is what it will be used for:
music some of the time. I like rap and hip hop so very bass heavy
movies
gaming
I will be using my computer thats hooked up to my home system for most of it. Some of it will be directly through my home receiver and some through my ps3/xbox through the receiver.
Current system:
pioneer vsx-1020
klipsch quintet 5.1 surround sound
60 inch led
I try to do a ton of research on subjects so I don't sound like a total retard but on this subject I find it hard to find knowledgeable people to talk to. So I am here.
I will be trying to buy the driver and plate amp and then having a friend build me a box. Unless of course a pre built box will be cheaper.
The guy that builds my boxes has theories that I am not sure about.
Another local that sells parts for this kind of thing has different ideas.
So I am lost in limbo here.
My budget would be 500 but I would like to keep it well under that. If it goes that far then I guess thats the way it will be.
Did I mention I love bass? And I mean a lot of bass. But I understand that its probably hard to have that as well as have a super responsive driver for movies. I think.
What I have found so far are the boss plate amps from a local. the only problem is they say they are only down to 30hz range. I would think for deep shake my house bass that won't cut it. But the guy that sells them says they go lower and thats just the manufacturers label they put on them. True?
Speakers. My friend that builds boxes laughs at me when I mention any speaker under the 250 range. I mentioned a few I have seen on here that were cheap and he said there is a reason they are cheap. I don't necessarily agree but I don't know everything. And again the reason I am here.
Speaker box design. I have no clue on this one. My friend will build whatever I say and says that he is an expert at designing them. I am not 100 percent sure so I am here again for that reason.
My room is 12 feet from tv to where I watch tv/play games. 13.5 feet wide and 7.3 foot tall.
Sorry for the long first post but I wanted to give an accurate depiction of what I am working with and what I want accomplished. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
