Room dimensions are 26 long by 24 wide. The top part of room is not square due to roof top sloping...so the sides of the room start at 4 feet tall and go up slanted.
I've got a 57 projection tv and a 1 year old that likes to tear speakers up. I plan to wire the 4 satelite speakers in the top corners out of reach and put the center channel on top the TV.
I have purchased the following stuff so far.
Onkyo TX-SR503 75 Watt
DAYTON RS150S-8 6" x 6 of them
DAYTON DC28FS-8 1-1/8" x 5 of them
CROSSOVER 2-WAY 3,000 Hz 100W 12 DB
DAYTON DVC385-88 15" DVC SERIES
DAYTON SA240 240W SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER
I have so many questions, but I'll just start out with needing to build the sub enclosure first. I want to get hammered in the back by the bass when watching a movie sitting on the couch. I would like to build an enclosure that has the speaker facing the couch and since I have such a big room will probably need it ported to get every last bit of bass. I've looked through all the cool finished projects, but I haven't found an enclosure styled that will send the bass right into my couch and has the port facing that direction too.
I am hampered by my daughters fingers and she's already destroyed two 8 inch speakers :evil: so I need a setup that she can't mess up. I don't think a speaker grill can help as she'll find a way to poke something in. The plate amp will also have to be mounted in the enclosure. I've seen the cool sonotubes, but really would like to have the bass kick me right in the back and shake me right out of the couch.
All feedback is greatly appreciated.
