Hello,
I am looking to build a good sub to go along with my Tritrix that I just built. I had been looking at cheaper drivers in the 10"-12" catagory (something closer to the Tritrix quality); but everytime I look at driver specs, I keep leaning towards drivers that, on paper, appear to have a better quality sound. And to add to my search for a driver, the cost keeps going up.
So, to my question: I currently live in a small apartment with the two tritrix fronts and a Yamaha receiver and I want something to cover the low fqs for movies/music (50/50). I plan to move within the next 2 years to a larger home where I will build more speakers to complete a proper home theater. Building a sub is a costly endeaver, so I would like something that will be enjoyable in a small space at low volume, but will be capable of intagrating into a larger theater.
Would the Dayton RSS390HF-4 15" in a 3-4 cuft sealed box with a BASH 300 sound good in my current setup? (I figure I could build a larger ported box after I move in a couple years). Or is this overkill? Would a smaller driver be just as satisfying both now and later?
Thanks for your input!!!
