    First DIY Sub

    I am looking at making my first DIY sub here in the next few months. I was looking at making one with SS RL-p 15 and a nady xa-1100 amp. But I was wondering what should I use for an EQ? Also do you think this large of a sub is a bit of over kill for a 20ft x 25ft room? Should I use the 12 inch? I want a sealed inclosure, but am not sure on what the outer dimensions should be.

    Thanks,
    Matt

      IMO all subs need EQ. Your room certainly is large enough that the RL-p 15" won't be overkill.

      We've covered sealed alignments with this driver on several occasions, here are the most recent projects.

I think that I'm up to the challange of building my own box, and understand the rule that there is never enough bracing. :) So, I was hoping that I could get some help with the design. My thoughts so far: 1)

Being that I have everything on order or it's already arrived..I thought it time to ask for a little critiquing.

          It depends on your definition of overkill. Right now, I don't think that my two are overkill in my room. IMHO, they are just about right.

          I got a Behringer 1124P for $99 at christmas. Behringer has a new model that is running $149 at PE.
