Good evening,
I have a few very noob questions about a sub I am building. I have a buddy that purchased 2 Dayton 15" DVC drivers about a year ago, and only used one. I was very fortunate to pick up #2 for next to nothing. I am building this sub for use in my home theater, and for some music as well, probably 80% movies. After doing some reading I decided to go with a trusted design and I am building the Adire alignment sub. I tried to model these out using winisd but the software has a bit of a learning curve that I just dont have the time or patience for. I started the sub last week and I am sticking to the design as written, except that I went with 1" mdf instead of the 3/4 mdf in their design, I adjusted the measurements to keep the internal diamensions the same as the design. I also got the mdf free from the same friend who wanted it out of his garage. I have a 240 W PE plate amp that I am planning on using with this sub, but in the back of my mind I have reservations about it. I will be using the sub in a 12.5'x18' dedicated theater. I would really appreciate some input on how everyone thinks this sub will operate with this amp, seems a little low on output to me. I was looking at a ED350. Would this be a worth while upgrade, or is there something better yet, I would like to stay around $200.00 for the amp if thats possible. Long thread for the first one sorry :roll: . I plan to post pics soon.
Thanks, Ed
