Hi guys,
Sorry, a really boring one I know. my question is probably better suited in a different forum but everyone here has been so helpful on my other project. I'm in the middle of building some overnight sensation mtm/mt's for my parents living room and need to sort a subwoofer out.
I'm looking at keeping it as close to 200gbp as possible I know this is going to be bargain bucket build, but they dont want anything fancy.
The choice for plate amps here in the UK is pretty slim for low end, pretty much the only one thats realistic is the Monacor SAM-300D (250W).
There's also not much choice for driver's to keep it in budget. an 8" dayton reference RSS210, The Dayton classic series and the DVC series from 8-12" or Monacor SPH series 8-12".
The room is approx 12'x12'x9'deep, I would be looking at a max volume of 100L but preferably a bit smaller. I'm thinking maybe 10" ported or 12" sealed.
The use would be 50/50 HT and music however my dad listens to quite frankly terrible music far too loud so this needs to be considered.
Do you guys have any advice for me on driver choice for this? Is this even worth it at this price range or would I be better off looking for some second hand, out the box sub?
Hope you dont mind helping me out and I greatly appreciate any advice.
