After bouncing alot of ideas off Stangbats head including my own, I think Ive come up with a plan. I'm sure this needs tweaking with help from you guys. Ill begin with my goals and room size.
My budget, $1000.00. Id like to build something that can handle HT primarily and for music when i feel the need. So solely a huge boom boom design may not be what I need. My room is "L" shaped. The front sound stage sits in a 13'x8' front wall and extends 35' from the LCR to the back of the room. The "L" opens up to 26', 8' past my R tower, ceiling is 8'. My actual listening position is 14' from the LCR. I'm using the ZDT3.5 and vented CC. Geeez, that sounds confusing.
Heres the plan. Id like to build two separate boxes and place them behind the LR. I'm looking at the 12" Shiva-X. For power the Behringer EP2500 and using one or two of the Reckhorn B1 EQ. Two B1's will give me separate control for each sub.
Cab. size will come into play as Kevin at DIYCable suggest using a 17" long port for the ported designs. This could make the box size pretty large. So im looking at the sealed 100L box.
I haven't figured up yet how big a 100L box will be. Since this is a sealed design, i don't need a subsonic filter. Which the B1 does not offer. Im also at a loss on how to wire up the Shiva's. Will this size of sealed box be what im looking for sonically?
Remember I will be building 2 subs of the same design. Another option is to buy two Titanic 12" MKII kits and punt the Behringer and Reckhorn.
Another Amp option is the Dayton HPSA 1000-R. But im not sure it has all the EQ stuff on it. I'm open to a different EQ vs the Reckhorn, but it will need to run 2 subs independently. Well, there it is, please make any comments as need be. I will appreciate it....Thanks in advance....
