Hey guys, wifey says no to a boxed sub in the living room, so I came up with a compromise
Since my wife is a crazy cat lady, I suggested I make a SISAL SUB (I'd use some parts from an old cat tree because it's hilarious)! Here goes...
I'd like to keep it about 45" high, and need to use a 3" port if possible (already have, 4's are tough to find here in Canada)). I have the Bash 300 amp, and a CSS SDX10 already. I would prefer to use a 12" sonotube to keep it smaller.
7 questions:
1) do I need some kind of padding inside? Egg crate foam or something?
2) how do I mount the amp to the sub?
3) What do I tune it to?
4) How long should my port be on my down-firing sub?
5) is it ok to use just sub feet on the bottom? Should I use Isolators? I have some extras
6) What kind/brand of paint is best for MDF?
7) How the do I attach sonotube to a piece of MDF?!?
Am I nuts? I'm sure my cats will love this when the sub is in standby, not sure how much they'll like it during the opening sequence of Edge of Tomorrow :rofl2:
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
I'll post pics when it's done
