Hi All, after all my contemplating on what to do about my anemic low end in my HT, I decided on an SVS PC-12 cylinder (thanks members for the advice), however, I now want to replace my former sub (see my 'bad box...' thread for more). So, I have plenty of speakers around that will handle 75 hz and up, but need your help in selecting a 10" driver for a cylinder sub. Why cylinder? Small footprint:bigsmile:
I read somewhere that the driver for this purpose should have a Qts < 0.40,
Fs < 45 hz, and either Vas < 4 ft3 (113L) OR Fs/Qes > 83. Is this info correct?
I have two options, a driver used from LFE out for inside only, or a flexible sub that I could use inside and in my garage. I would use it inside with an old receiver, either 70w/2xch or 100w/2ch. I could either use the low-level sub out with the 100w/2ch, which I'd send to another old receiver for power, or perhaps I could use a passive xover and use it in both places with a couple stereo speakers.
I found this svc speaker http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=79, which looks like a good driver at a great price, but perhaps a member can help with my decision?
Cost of the driver needs to stay low, around $100, if possible.
Thanks in advance!
