OK, so I have been looking for a new subwoofer and was looking at some of the sealed designs from JL Audio, Velodyne and Revel. I really really like the sound of some of these subs and I think I want to go with a sealed design.
I am going to purchase the Velodyne SC1250 amp with active EQ to make the EQ part of it easy. I guess with that amp, It can EQ up to 2 seperate drivers, so if I make one with an 8 ohm imp, I could add another later. I was just planning on getting the Velodyne SC15 subwoofer (passive), but I figured I could build something just as good for less (they retail for $1000).
I was looking for a simple set up, like just purchasing a SEALED enclosure from PE or someone else and dropping a really nice 15" driver. Since I will already have the AMP, this gives me about $300 or so I can spend on a driver, which figure I could end up with something similar or even better than the stock drivers in the JL, Velo, etc...
Like I mentioned, I would like a sealed design, a smaller enclosure for a room that is about 4000 cu feet.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, I am new to DIY home audio, so any advice is appreciated!!
