This happened a lot sooner than I thought it might. I am suddenly going to be able to buy a new sub! But...I need input. I think that I would like a sealed 15 inch and I was leaning toward the Dayton RS 15 incher, but I'm not completely sure. I was thinking a sealed 15 because I like low but clean sounds out of the sub. I currently have a 500W BASH amp from PE just waiting to push something, so I can push a decent amount. The problem is I have a terrible room for bass. Here it is:
The Hall usually becomes a bass trap and is usually very boomy. The stairs are an escape rout for the sound as well and makes things difficult. Then, of course, there is the other side of the room that is just a big open area where the kids play. The ceiling is 8 ft. I have several places to put a larger sub, so size isn't an issue that way, but it is an issue with the wife...
I have an amp that will allow me to run 2 subs if I want/need. I would like to keep the cost of the driver below $200, but if I get a large benefit with something more then I'll go with more.
Would the Dayton RS 15 inch in a sealed box give me enough?
Do I need 2 subs? I've never had 2 before, but it could be fun...right? The problem will be the budget...
Can I carefully build and port a box that will give me nice tight bass and allow me to drop down into the 20Hz area?
Thanks in advance for your help!
