Just below "The Starting Block" is a link called "Mission Possible DIY". That's probably the place you want to post this question.

it will be very difficult to get that loud deep bass from a single 10" subwoofer. If this is for a computer where you sit only a few feet from the speakers, I would consider the zaph audio project that uses the 3" HiVi driver along with a sonic t-amp, and then build an appropriate subwoofer using a small parts express plate amp.

if that isn't your bag, there are plenty of speaker designs on his website that you can read about

Well, your goals come to mind, what are they? Are you trying to make your computer into a home theater? 10" woofer will be ok for normal PC audio, but for true HT depth, a powered 12" would go a lot further.

I am not familiar with zaph, I suggest talking to Thomas Jon and the guys in our DIY Audio section.

thanks.
