hey guys im new to this forum and this whole diy thing!
i just recently bought myself a surround sound setup. the only thats missing is a sub :P
so instead of just buying some cheap subwoofer from futureshop or best buy i wanted to build one myself. i would like to limit my budget to maximum 400$ or lower. i love huge bass sound when i listen to my music....and i like to listen to all genres of music.
i would like to build a subwoofer for 80% music and 20% movies.
ive been surfing around the web and tried to research as much as i could but in the end it just got a little confusing with all the calculations and t/s parameters and all the software programs there are......
DRIVER
what i need to get is a driver and amp and i will buy the sub enclosure myself.
ive been looking at the Dayton DVC310-88 12" DVC SERIES SUBWOOFER and the DAYTON RSS315HF-4 12" HIGH FIDELITY SUBWOOFER. I honestly dont know the difference between the 2. any suggestions and advice?
AMP
what plate amp should i get? and what wattage? should i get a dayton to pair up with the dayton? i was planning to get the 250W amp from dayton, is that enough power for the driver? again, any suggestions and adive?
SUB ENCLOSURE
how do i design the enclosure? are there any good software programs that i can use? what material should i use? should i go sealed or ported?
please help and thank you!!!
