Hi,
I have no idea what im doing at this stage. Ive only just been introduced to the idea of building my own sub, but it is a route I would like to go down, so Ive got to do my research. I would appreciate it if someone can answer my basic questions to help me on my way:
1. When building a sub, is it possible to use subs designed for cars? I remember when I tried to hook up a car sub to my amp and it didnt work because of the difference in impeedence.
2. Is it a problem to design a sub so that it points up to the sky? Would it be better to have it point down at the floor or sideways.
3. Is a strong wood the best material for a sub housing?
4. Is a 15" sub a strong choice if I can afford it? Ive heard they sound great, especially the low tones.
5. Ive seen people putting additional electronics in their sub box. Is this an additional amplifier?
Im sorry for all the questions, im quite excited by the project so im trying to find out all I can so I can get stuck in!
