I'm excited. This will be my first dabs into DIY. I have read numerous threads trying to get a grasp on what is needed and who to buy from. My thoughts are similiar to the thread about a DIY beating out a servo 15. I would like the performance of a servo 15 but at a reduced cost. I need yalls input...Please.
Can this be done/ does it make sense for a single box?
-P Express 2.0 or 3.0 ready made box. The 2.0 is 17x17x17, 3.0 is 19x19x19 roughly
- ep2500 amp. This sucker looks powerful. I see most prefer this unit for value/power. Can it be put into a cabinet? I do plan to upgrade the fan. I also like the idea that it can control a second sub If I desire- I just might. Any other ideas here?
-ASC Arsenal 15 or SS RLP15 or 2 OAudio TC2 in 1 box. I saw a coment from a senior poster that 2 -12's would surely lay waste to a servo 15. Would 2 -12's fit in 1 box that I have mentioned? Would the 2500 amp work? I see some folks prefer 2 ohm vs 4 ohm drivers? Huh...What do I need? pros/cons?
- I'm thinking about a SMS-1 to help integrate. I'm assuming this is all I need to eq the sub. To be honest I lost track with the beringer unit, really not sure what I needed, how what where etc... The sms-1 gets great reviews and looks to be idiot proof. It can also control 2 subs.
The sub needs to be clean/tight/very musical. It will need to integrate with my mains- they play down to 40, but I am told by the maker to set the sub at 60. The sub needs to be high power. As you can tell it will be a big part of my upgraded system. My listening is 60/40 music, maybe 70/30 music. The kids like to watch their movies.
Thank you in advance
