First off, I do almost all listening from my computer desk.
Current Setup:
For the past 6-8 months I have been using an ancient JVC R-X40 amp (which isnt too bad surprisingly enough) and a pair of Dayton RS100S drivers in full range alignment in 3-chamber bass reflex enclosures (bass is astounding for these tiny drivers, the wall vibrates if I crank them up). The enclosures are 6in(wide), about 9in deep, and 18in tall.
I would like to move these in to my man cave for light duty movie use (the sweet spot is perfect for them in there) and build something nicer for normal listening.
Needs and Requirements:
- Enclosures can not be 'too' huge. I could go up to around 8in wide, 20in tall, and 12in deep or so. (more depth is better then height)
- I WILL NOT consider a seperate mono subwoofer under ANY circumstances.
-Needs to be very detailed and accurate.
-Not going to specify much on lower octave requirements. Obviously I would love to keep the f/r curve as flat as possible as low as possible. But, sloppy/blurred bass is not acceptable.
-Cost: I hate to put a price cap on here, but to keep things from getting too crazy, lets go with $500 total for driver and crossover costs.
Before we get in to creating something from scratch, can anyone think of a DIY project someone has already done that would satisfy my needs?
