I'm getting ready to start my basement theater and I'm trying to decide what to use for my front sound stage. I have enough parts on hand to do 3 sealed D44's, just trying to figure out what to use for bass bins. (these will be behind an AT screen). My top 2 candidates are the RS315HF and RS390HF, both of which would appear to work OK up to around a 350 hz xover.
My question is, do you think the 390's would be overkill compared to the output potential of the D44s? I want lots of mid-bass impact but I also want the midrange/top-end to be able to keep up.(The bass bins will be crossed at 80hz to 4 Fi IB18.)
The room itself is a little over 10ft wide and about 18ft deep, depending on where I put the front false wall.
I'll be powering the D44s with an Emotiva XPA-5, not sure yet on the bassbins. I was thinking an XPA-3, but I can save a little money by using a couple of Nady XA-900s.
Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
