Darrenh from the UK!


Hi all

An introduction - I am a bit of a bargain hunter with my AV equipment, and have recently got back into it. A bit of a pain at the moment as the room I want to set my gear up in is full of diy gear for renovating our bathroom! So, I recently purchased some used M&K speakers (4 off K5s a K7, 2 off K4's) and a KX-1250 Sub amp plate and a M&K 12" driver - all in preparation for my first home made sub (of sorts!)

My idea is to use a box volume similar to that of the original sub but in a shallower enclosure - to fit room aesthetics! So I thought I would join to share my experiences from my novice perspective and also learn from you guys!

In fact I have got so excited about building this sub, that I have bought a book on speaker designing and building, ready to take my DIY a step further!

Just for the record, I am running a Yamaha DV-S2700 DVDplayer and an RXV1700 receiver, connected to a Sony VPL-HS50 projector...

I have two little monsters (Girl of 5 and Boy who is 3), and a Wife that tries to keep me in check!

Re: Darrenh from the UK!


Thanks Mike, I am hoping to learn a lot here, although I have to admit to knowing very little about speaker construction and so far find these forums a little daunting! I find it is the simple questions that are embarrassing to ask and it is the things that experienced forum members take for granted that prevent me from understanding... it is going to be a big learning curve!
