OK I am ready to do this...

[masse1369]

Just like so many before me, I was getting ready to purchase an SVS PB12+/2 when now I have decided to go the DIY route. A little bit about my room. My system is going to be going in my living room, which attaches to my kitchen. Total space is approx. 5100^ft3, with the living room being about 16x16x10(LxWxH). The main problem with the +/2 is that it is too large. I am thinking about using a single SS RL-p15 or maybe dual 12's. I would also like to keep this as a box subwoofer. My budget is say up to $1300 (which is how much the svs is) out the door. I don't have any of the neccessary tools, so I will probably have to have this sub designed with yalls help and then I will have the box made from a high end car audio dealer here in Jax, FL. In my room and with my budget what would yall recommend. For the rest of my sytem, I am planning on getting Ascend 340's (LCR) and Ascend 170's (rears), Receiver is probably going to be the H/K AVR 635. This system will almost entirely (maybe 90%/10%) be used for movies. Thank you very much in advance for helping me design this sub...

After further reviewing, i think i might just want to buid a sonosub like chasw98. How much would this cost altogether and would anyone be willing to build this for me, or guide me to exaclty would I would need to do? Thanks...

What part of 19" wide, 26.5" tall and 28" deep, is too large.

Cost will be between $500 and $800 depending upon options. If you live in Florida, I will help you build it, otherwise, I will just help you.

I'm all the way at the bottom of the state, just north of Fort Lauderdale in Margate.

EDIT: And I just happen to have chunk of sonotube left over from my sub.

Just finished my sonotube RLP-15 and with driver, amp and parts ran about $700. The results are unbelieveable bass for music and HT is beyond expectations. :B
