Hello,
I am in need of a new sub. Unfortunately, I only have a budget of $300. While doing research on buying a used sub I ran across a DIY build and have chosen to go that rout. This is my first build so please forgive my questions.
My Room:
15'x12' listening area
24'x12' total room size (there is no wall in between my living room and kitchen)
8½' ceilings
sub placement will be restricted to the back corner of listening area
System:
Denon AVR-5700
RBH TK-5 Towers and center
Mirage nanostat surrounds
My listening habits are 50/50
I have purchase an original Tempest 15"($60) to start and was thinking of building a sealed enclosure.
I have been playing with Winisd and believe that a 22"Wx20"Dx18"H box is what I need. Also I have been looking for an amp and found the Foster WF-100K. According to the literature two of these can be bridged for 220W at 8 Ω.
Now for the questions. Is a sealed sub the best way to go for this speaker? If so are my dimensions correct? Are these amps OK or should I look for something else. I have also read up some on the BFD and would like to know if it will help with the response for movies? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
