hey guys
I'm interested in building my first sub to complement my zaph audio sr71 bookshelf mains. I'm going to be listening to rock/metal 50% of the time using 2.1 and will use the sub the other 50% in 5.1 for ht/xbox. The sub will mostly be in a room that is 12'x16' and occasionally in a room that is 14' x 25'. I am torn between a css 10sdx with 300w bash and a shiva-x2 with 300w or 500w bash. I'm afraid that the 10" wont be enough for the larger room. My budget for the sub and amp is a max of $500 CAD. I would prefer the footprint of the sub to be no more than 20" wide x 20" deep x any height. Could you guys please recommend a slot ported enclosure design that would fit my needs in preferably smaller dimensions. I would like to stay away from a massive enclosure.
Any help would be appreciated
