Hello all,
I'm brand new to this forum but I have read some threads and found a sub woofer(Sound Splinter RL-P15) and amplifier(Dayton HPSA1000) that look like they will work for my application. I have not yet purchased them. I would like to get opinions on the combination and I need to know how to figure out the correct box for this application. I am looking for loud and clear bass. I have limited wood working capabilities as I don't have the tools but if I know the dimensions and general building schematic I can get everything cut and built. If you have recommendations on different sub woofer or amplifier that is welcome as well.
The Dayton HPSA1000 is really a bit pricey for my budget but if it is worth getting it over the 500 or another amp I may splurge for it. I am really leaning toward a plate amp because it seems easier. If I was to use a rack mount amp I would want it to be inside the box. I am not sure how to deal with the heating issues with that either. This box and sub wil be moved from this room to several others depending on my living situation over the next several years and I don't necessarily want to build it to the room, just for maximum performance. I have a Harman/Kardon receiver that I plan to use to send signals to the amplifier.
I need a "SIMPLE" box design either ported on sealed is fine. I am hoping to keep my budget around like $500-$650. about $350 for the sub(shipped) and $450(shipped) for the Dayton HPSA1000. Any amplifier that would be comparable for less $$ let me know.
If I am missing some obvious data please let me know.
Thanks ahead of time for the responses and help.
