    Sorry Ears, "Mr. DIY" has been busy with work and his own little DIY project. Just wasn't sub related.

    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.

    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?

    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 3.gif

    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 12.gif

    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?

    Well, now that summers come along, i'm finally a happy 15 year old with a disposable income 3.gif

    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 1.gif

    like to keep it as cheap as possible, not sure how cheap they can get.. but sub-$800 is optimal

    thanks
