I am finishing up my TMWW project and would like to replace my HSU sub with a 15" sub.
My idea thus far was to build a sub enclosure similar to my TMWW curved sides. I was going to keep the 18" radius sides and keep the same ratio of front and rear widths. The enclosure would just have say a 18" baffle and 9" rear as oppose to the 10" and 5" on the TMWW towers.
I found a site that has similar sub enclosures, but 2 12's were used in stereo. I prefer a single 15". Pictures are below.
I prefer to design the sub for HT usage but I will listen to music with it as well. I know most will say to go with a proven sonotube design, but I am not a fan of the round tube with my curved speakers. But in the end it may end up being that if I can't find another solution.
What I am looking for is a driver recommendation for the type of enclosure I described.
I know ported is best for HT use, but it also requires more space. I was hopeing I could do sealed and just use more power, from possibly a EP2500 amp.
If I could do a sealed enclosure with a 18" by 18" baffle and maybe 2ft if depth that would be awsome and extremely preferable. But I want this sub with BLOW my current HSU STF-2 10" sub out of the water.
I could do a sub, similar to the first picture and make it maybe 28" in height, keeping the 18" width and 2ft depth. But again, the second picture is preferable.
I am very open as to the driver you recommend, although I do like aluminum over paper cones. Price isn't to big a deal, around $500 for the driver is the limit. But if needed I will spend more. Although, if something cheaper gets the job done, I am fine with that. Thanks for the help.
Also, I am trying to use UniBox but don't trust myself. So I am seeking your help.
Any tips, suggestion, pointers you have are appreciated. I did search around already, but found mostly large sonotube's. I realize there is something to say for that, but was hoping maybe a sub like this is possible and still have high output.
