Now that I have sold everything in my dedicated HT and will now have the HT sharing the great room, I figure why not start a small project and build an LLT for the great room.
Currently I am running the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1's across the front. They are good down to about 60-80Hz. The Onkyo 805 will feed an EP2500. Why did I sell it? :duh: That cost me about $50... :rolleyesno: Unless I don't need that much power, then I could save about $50 and go with an EP1500.
The real key will be WAF... I will have to hide this behind our corner cabinet. She'll have a big enough fit the first time she hears it, but not seeing it will ease the pain some.
The room is very large, 18.5' x 20' x 10'... with very large openings into the remainder of the house.
Here's what I have to work with...
The board you see in the floor is the maximum size I have to work with. I can slide that into the space and shut the door without any sides touching anything in that space. The top is open into the room.
The board is 17" x 22". I can go up to 80" tall, which would ultimately give me up to 13 cubic feet or 368 liters... less internal bracing and port/driver displacement.
The question is whether to go with a 15" driver or an 18" driver. If I go with the 15", I have the choice of firing down or back. The 18" driver would obviously have to be fired back on the 22" back side.
I still have the two 6" PVC pipes that came out of the Behemoth sub... they are about 35" long each.
So... what would you professionals recommend?
