I am upgrading my subwoofer. The posts here on Sonotube Subs have helped me decide to use that as a Design model. I have a dedicated theater room but its only 14' wide with a 120" 16:9 screen so I dont have much width left.
Hence I think a 20" or 22" Sonotube Sub would fit nicely but it can be up to 80" high. I have an Adcom 5802 (450 WPC x2 amp) and NHT controller.
After reading through the Sonotube posts here a couple questions still nag at me.
Why stick to 260 l? The modeling I have looks better at 500+ l
At 260 l why tune to 15 Hz?
(Using Win ISD that curve looks poor to me using the reccomended SS 15P)
I assume I am doing something wrong in Modeling because the curve looks like this (below)
Secondly: Is there a downside to making a Sonosub 22" W at 80" high (500+l) ?
Third: Is there a better 15" driver under $250 than the SS 15p ?
Thanks,
