OK, I looked at all the threads from the past year. None addressed this issue. If there is one already that I've missed, please point me in that direction.
I've pretty much decided to build a pair of modified Newform Research speakers from Selah Audio. Having gotten the DIY bug (just from drawing cabinet designs!), I planned on building a sub afterwards. Now a friend is going to buy my old fronts, center & sub. I have a spare pair of speakers to use during the interim, but no extra sub. So, I think I'll build a sub first.
My question, what is the best balance of enclosure size, enclosure type (sealed, ported, PR), driver size, driver type (e.g., Tempest vs. Tumult) to integrate well with my Newforms for music and shake the house for HT? I'm leaning toward a Sonosub, but am open to a box (especially something like the pyramid shaped one I saw on Adire's website). BTW, I'm going to seal my Newforms, so their F3 will be around 60-65hz.
Again, if there is somewhere to find previous information, please point me in that direction. Also, I appreciate the input on my last post. It helped me decide on the Newform project.
Thanks,
Steve V.
