Hi all
I've built a pair of vented enclosures which contain 12" 300w RMS rated subs. The box vol. is 55L and box freq. is 35 Hz and is being powered by a 4 x 100w RMS amp which i have bridged to get Approx. 300w RMS to drive each sub.
The subs sound great with most types of music, but the problem i have is that i want a more punchy response when i listen to heavy metal. In particular to reproduce the quick double kick of the drums.
To achieve this i see three options:
1. Rebuild my 12" enclosures with a smaller box volume
2. Build an extra set of 3way XO floor stanging speakers which include two 8" woofers (I have little experience with XO to date tho)
3. Build a sub enclosure that uses 4 x 8" woofers.
The 3rd option seems the most interesting to me. Box size is not a big consideration as my main goal is reproducing a specific range of frequencies.
Any comments, sugestions or tips would be great.
Cheers
