Hi everyone,
I have been lurking around for quite some time but have never posted.
I am looking to build a sub for 90% HT/10% music use, the room it will be going is roughly 12x22x8 with a staircase and hall which is roughly 4x15x8.
Right now I have Zaph Audio's BAMTM for the LCR's and a single 8" Polk Audio in there which doesn't cut it. I was also thinking the Shivas X but due to living 20 minutes away from CSS it makes it so much easier to not have to ship it across the border. Is there a SDX12 in the near future (I saw a post that had mention of one in the end of the year)?
I have no limitation to size of the enclosure though I would like to be able to keep it a bit smaller than the SDX15 (or rework the dimensions) as ideally it would fit in an stand I built for my TV which is 52"x20.5"x18" (right now the 52"is divided into 3 17.3" sections but easily removed). I was originally planning on doing a coffee table build but with the kits having PRs I am shying away from that unless they can be downfiring as it is one more thing for the kids to poke at.
I originally looked at the SDX10 due to price but know it will not fit the requirements so have moved away from that, the SD12 fits my budget nicely, and the SDX15 is a bit over what I was looking to spend but not out of the running.
I guess wat my long winded post is trying to ask is.........should i go for the SD12, SDX15, or wait for a SDX12? Is the XBL^2 motor that big of a difference as to not get the SD12 and would I even notice a difference? Is the SDX15 more sub than I need (Am I even typing that?) and would a 12" fill the room.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
