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 aboutComment

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.Doug

The dilemma... -
I posted to the Parts Express board a while back trying to figure out what home theater design to try building. I have no experience with speaker designing. I've installed a few car audio systems and built Wayne's DIIIs. I'm fairly confident in my abilities to execute a design if I have a BOM and... -
Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie hear looking for some help and encauragement. I purchased a Rotel RSX 1055 receiver just before Christmas. All was fine until about 2 or 3 months ago. One morning after turning on my home theater the front left speaker started popping loudly. To the point where... -
I am just getting back into learning about stereo and audio gear. In the past many years most of my money has gone to CDs and Concert DVDs (I have a very nice collection of Rock and Jazz). I was using a cheap late 70s Sherwood Reciever/Amp and some large but cheap Jenson speakers. This did not shorten...
