I just ordered two Shiva subwoofer drivers. My plan is to put them into a sealed 5 cubic foot box or a 6 cubic foot ported box down to 25Hz.
I have no motivation to make some veneered, nice looking box. I just plan on building a solid box out of 3/4" MDF. In the car I will power these with an amp that will give it a two-ohm load.
I am curious about a few things.
--What kind of amp would I need to run that will give me a two-ohm load or eight-ohm load that I could plug into a 120V house socket? What kind of power would I need as well.
--Would the sound still be decent in the room in terms of SQ from using just a MDF carpeted box?
I'm just looking to add some crazy bass impact in my 15'*15' room because my Klipsch ProMedia ain't cuttin' it for my rap/hip-hop music.
