I'm working on a small home theater and I want to tackle the subs. I've got spouse approval for dual subs if I keep them small, so I'm thinking ~1 cut ft sealed with some DSP. Keeping in mind that for me smaller is better... am I better off with two HO 12's or two Ultimax 10's? I havent settled...

I'm accumulating info on home subs to go with my main system. It's NOT a HT rig, it's going to be used for music only. The speakers (currently being refurbed by the factory) are a pair of Magneplanar Tympani 1C, which will be bi-amped. I'm in a relatively small room in terms of volume; it's...

I currently have a pair of adire audio tempest for my IB. I want to upgrade to the either the ib318 or the um18-22. I see the FI is quite popular but what about the ultimax? Pricewise I can get a pair of the ultimax for $100 less than the ib318. Any suggestions?

Parts express is out of the Dayton 15" Ultimax until Feb/March. Can anyone suggest another sub close to the price range/performace? Home Theater use 99% Ported DIY box Bash 500w THANKS, this was my xmas present.

So finally finished one of my 18" Full Martys and been recording it in action to share with you guys. When I build the second one I will fully video log it for you all throughout the build and same with my theater room build as it happens. But overall this thing is a beast! My wife thought I...

Hello, I am fairly new to the home theater scene - see thread here: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/diy-subwoofers-general-discussion/151905-new-diy-need-advice-driver.html - but intend on going "all out"!! A quick run down of my current set-up: Yamaha A3060 Receiver 2x Crown XLS 1502...

The idea behind this was to serve as a coffee table of sorts under the screen. I built it with nothing but a circular saw so don't crack on it too hard. :) Almost finished, slapping on some paint right now and will wire it up in the next day or two. I have had two for about a year maybe, got...

Hello HTS.. I am trying to wire up my 2 15 Ultimax DVC subs. Each sub is dual voice coil at 2ohm's. Is there a way to wire these subs up to I can run my amp at 4ohm mono? Thank you

This all started a couple of years ago. But I didn't know it at the time. When I first put together my basement theater, I was optimizing for floor space, and budget. Because of that, I only purchased one SVS PC-13Ultra. The idea was that I would get another PC-13Ultra the next year or so...

I am modelling two setups..... two LMSR 15's vs two Ultimax 18's in a 500 liter (17.5 cubic feet) box tuned to 15hz. I get a slot port length of 4 by 24 inches wide for 56 inches long. At 1000 watts both of them seem fine for excursion, and port velocity is 17 which seems decent. The...

Well, I'd like to build an IB. After doing much reading it's apparent that the FI 18 is the industry standard for IB. The ultimax is somewhat new and I haven't read many IB builds using it, it looks good on paper, the t-s parameters show it to be a candidate, and I've always been a fan of...

Hi I'm close to starting a ported sub build using an ultimax 18 tuned to 15hz. My problem at the moment is which amp to get. I am currently considering. I live in oz and all is expensive Dayton audio spa1000, rack amp ($580) Crown xls1000 or 1500 ( run bridge 4ohm)($500-$650) Crown xti...
