Before getting into this, I want to acknowledge that Mike P seems to be very active helping us rookies so Thank You!
I don't understand what the TS parameters mean when looking for a sub so I will ask you experts.
$500 range single or dual, I don't mind spending in the upper range if it is worth the extra $ but I don't want to buy a name or hype.
I haven't opened the wall but it should be the same as the one that is on the opposite side which I have opened up to mount all my components in. This will be flush with the wall with 6.5' of space from the paralell wall firing 90* from the mains and slightly to the rear. I have other threads on this here. My previous measurement stopped at 8' due to plywood stock and not knowing a good way to make the box taller, my thought would be to glue a section inside overlapping the seam by a couple feet and screwing it together. If this would work I can do 10.5' tall, 25.5" wide and 17.25" deep external measurements which should net me 28cf. I can squeak out a lttle more room but it would be more work building the box, my depth can increase 5" or so for 4' to 5'.
So with this in mind which woofer or woofer's would you choose for the best HT experience using a EP2500. Would using two less expensive speakers be better than the best single with the above size limitations figuring the $ to be $425 range to make uo for more materials. I have read a 6db gain for the second but does that account for getting half of the amp power.
Sorry for all the various posts but I only want to do this once and do it right.
