Just wasn't sub related. http://dustin.bunnyhug.net/pics/scale.jpg http://dustin.bunnyhug.net/screen.php Anyways, what has been said so far has been more or less spot on for budget and performance goals. If you can spare the space my first choice would also be the dual Tempest, but I'd do the single enclosure like Mike Strassburg did. 480L sonotube with a Tempest and 6" straight port (cut to tune to 18hz) on each endcap stuffed with 64oz of polyfil. Second choice would be the AV15 in a 150-200L enclosure with a single flared 6" port. Unless you want to drop the cash for a pair of PRs. I'll leave finding the right amount of power for a fair price to you. But you'll want 250-300W per Tempest or 350-450W for the AV15. ---------------- why should i go with that design instead of what Fire recommended me?

buy a little clip-on fan, they're like 6" in diamater and point it over the reciever, it'll keep it cooler

what are you driving it with?

my room is ... i forget the EXACTLY measruments, but its not very big. when you enter the room, its something like.. 8 feet wide.. mabey a little less, and it slopes out to about 12' at the other end, with the celeing sloping ... up. i have the TV against the 12' wall. the sub would prolly reside in the back , because thats the easiest/most effective location for a sub, so the sub itself would be able 6-10' away from the couch that is the listening position. i'm very intrigued about the subwoofer you're talking about now fire.. could you email me? jasruler@optonline.net thanks! well its 5:46AM, i need to head out to work now so i can actually build this thing. ah my silly friends spending thier summers relaxing by the pools and hanging out. 12 hour workdays is where its at!

not sure what you mean by blowing the roof off, but you may want to investigate a bigger subwoofer, the ksw-10 isnt really what you'd consider a roof-blow-off sub.

hmmm i think i'll investigate a PR sub.

which encloser is optimal? sealed, ported, or PR?

how low will those reach? i'd like to get into sub 20hz material, i do have a spot in my heart for pipe-organ music

i have a dedicated HT room that was built into my basement for use as a recording studio by the previous owner.. hes some sound engeneer... so suffice it to say, its sorta kina almost acoustically perfect IB is an option, but i'd prefer to go with a standard sub. to be honest, i'm not sure if i want high dB output or super-low bass... tommorow when i get my pay i'm going to go to radio shack and buy an SPL meter and see what my current setup is putting out before it bottoms out.. because.. well.. i want more than that the setup is used for prolly around.. 40% music, 60% HT. i also enjoy Dance/Techno music in addition to my usual palette(sp?) of rock such as Who, Zeppelin, Floyd, etc etc, so i need a fast sub... Can someone point me to some plans for the biggest, baddest sub-800 sub out there?

how loud/low can that hit before it starts to distort/bottom out? i listen at pretty high levels...

woops. one set of numbers will be fine, i dont need 3

would you happen to have any numbers for the PC+ 20-39? i want to see if one will be sufficient for my.... purposes

so use a custom one?

i was considering a Tempest DIY sonotube sorta thang... or an SVS PC+20-39

what concert?

Hows that sound for a 5.1 system?

Well, now that summers come along, i'm finally a happy 15 year old with a disposable income anyway, my uncle is a woodworker who will help me build a subwoofer. therefore, i've decided i'd opt for that route because it appears you get more bass for your buck via the DIY route. size is no concern, i have a dedicated HT room, so the bigger.. the better like to keep it as cheap as possible, not sure how cheap they can get.. but sub-$800 is optimal thanks

Guys dont humor this troll with reponses, its obvious hes just trying to stir up trouble.

i want a full-bookshelf setup, so i'm going to put together 2 pairs of whatever bookshelf i can get for 400ish a pair. what online dealers sell the bookshelves cheap? i know that the klipsch warentee isnt honored, but i'm willing to live with that.
