I've been reading about some of the subs that have been built by the members here, and these subs look impressive. I've just recently sold my two SVS CS+ subs and am looking for a replacement that will be at the very least their equal. I was happy with the SVS subs but a new house, with not enough room, dictated that I must change my design.
This leads me to where I am at today. I would like to design a subwoofer that also functions as a bench that can be used to put your shoes on/off. According to the WAF and physical limitations of my new living room, I will be forced to place the subwoofer in one location only. That location is the entrance hallway leading into the living room. And, of course, the living room opens up into the kitchen and dining areas. Total cubic footage I'm trying to fill is around 4500.
I am quite intersted in the Soundsplinter RL-P15 subs. I'm not sure though if I would be better off downfiring two of them, or using one of them ported and front firing into the rooms. I have been doing a lot of reading around here and do realize that by going dual sealed is going to be an extremely heavy sub enclosure. But I'm a big boy and I have some good friends who can help me move it into place.
I'm fairly handy with woodworking and plan to get better at it with this project. New tools are already being purchased for it. Total cost that I would like to stay under is $1500. This should include the subs, materials, amp, and eq.
I can try to draw up a sketch of the room if need be. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
