Hey Guys,
I just completed my Mal-X sonotube build for HT use (the Mal-X delivers), have a 115W 10" sonotube which sounds good with music, although it's kind of weak, along with an almost new SVS cs12-nsd. I picked up a used 500W SVS bash amp and am thinking of building another sub, perhaps one for the garage where I do alot of tinkering on projects and have 2 plate speakers in sealed rough boxes with 5 1/4 mid/woofers. I'd like some ooomph out there since that seems to be where I can get away with some spl:demon: and don't think the 10" will suffice. A possibility is sell the cs12, then build another sonosub or box for the garage, and maybe give my 10" to a friend or family member. Yet another would be build a nice box/cabinet for inside (perhaps tuned for music only) and move the 10" sonotube to the garage. Take note that DIY Cable has the Shiva on sale for a short time...and is what spurred the ideas.
I have a table saw, router, etc for tools, but must do this on tight building budget, keeping in mind I have a 500W plate amp that has a selectable hpf at 12,16, 20, or 25Hz. I also have enough circles to build endcaps for a sonotube and can get a 14" inside dia tube 48" tall for $9, however, I figure the money I'd use buying a flared tube port would offset the cost of building a box with slot port. So, what to do??? :scratchhead: (this is where I'm asking for ideas...:bigsmile
Of course, I could just sit back and relax for some time and keep what I have for awhile...:dunno:
