Not sure if many remember, but a few months ago I mentioned I was exploring using some 18s in an IB setup. I wasn't looking for more SPL, but I did want to dig deeper. I wanted to shake things not worth SPL,...

Sometimes crazy ideas make the best possible ideas
There's not enough subwoofer love right now, so I present you my crazy IB install.

Sub-woofer connection (Powered and passive)
Hi Folks,
First let me say hello! My name is "Rich" and I am new to the HT Guide site. I'm 60 years old, and from 1980 to 1990 I was an avid audiophile that could never afford the equipment I wanted but managed to afford a complete "2nd or 3rd class" setup of components that... -

This isn't a design project, more of a project build report in progress-
Putting together a bigger sub for GF's HT setup- had some issues using a 10" UMAX sub in a standard PE sub cabinet (interference with brace, I think) and this is to address this, plus put something together with... -
Subwoofer build help needed.......
Been a long while since I've been to this site. Hoping I can get some help designing a few subs I plan to build soon.
1st is a Sonotube sub. Many years ago, close to 10 years now, I built a 3CuFt sealed enclosure for a 15" sub. Well, that sub is still rocking! But it just doesn't blend with... -
Sub build using (4) Dayton Audio DVC310-88s
Hi guys...looking for some advice!
I have (4) Dayton Audio DVC310-88s that are split between in 7 cubic foot enclosures (see below). I was gearing up to start finishing them when I decided it'd probably be almost the same amount of work to just build new enclosures that needed less prep.... -

Capacitor loading a woofer in a small box
I've been trying to get to this project since last Christmas, but somehow life got in the way. Today I finally got far enough along that I thought I would share some interesting observations on capacitor loading a woofer in a small box. My goal here is a small bookshelf sized speaker with bass that...

some sub clarifications
I have a Mirage 8" sub now that I would like to replace with something a little bit bigger. So I have been reading about subs for a little over a year and I'm still a little unsure of some things. I've played with WinISD and looked at Unibox, but I don't really understand what I am trying to get... -
Sub Implementation
I have never had a sub before. Just got an older HSU 8” ported unit that uses a separate 150 w amp. I have incorporated it into my 2-ch system via the 2nd set of signal level outputs on my pre-amp. To my ears, it is V musical & blending nicely with my NatP towers.
I was wondering... -
Got the OK for a crawl space sub!!!
I am excited. My sealed Dayton 12" Reference sub just doesn't cut it for my room, and my wife is onboard with changing things out to a subwoofer hidden in the crawlspace.
My living room is 18' wide, 9' tall, and is open to the kitchen and dining area, making it 28' deep. That's 4500... -
Cinema F-20 Subwoofer Build - DONE!
In an effort to upgrade the low end of my HT on a budget I grabbed up a few of the last remaining MFW-15 sub drivers. Over on AVS, Lilmike designed a front loaded horn enclosure for this driver and I thought I would try a few. This design can produce high SPL from 20hz on up with relatively little power....

Can a marginal sub ruin a good soundstage?
I have been thinking lately about the sub I am running with my Statement Monitors. It is a DIY sub consisting of a 3cf sealed box, a Dayton 15" Titanic driver and a 500 watt Bash amp. It recently stuffed it with polyfill to try to tighten the bass up a bit. I am also thinking of building a ported... -

Hello all,
I am interested in knowing anyones success with the HiVi SP10 Subwoofers, thoughts, enclosures etc. I have 4 of these and am currently researching the best enclosure for these. I see the Sunfire Mark IV uses the same woofer, or similar, and the cabinet is very basic... never...
