Taz Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Subwoofer It's the lowest Hz I've found so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Those specs are worthless. You'll need the TS parameters to see what the driver will do. If you're looking to go really low, you need to look at a driver and enclosure as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not sure where you got 12 from. I'm gonna go out in a limb and say at 68$ from amazon it prolly isn't worth much for real bass. If you want about as cheap as you can go for woofers look at my build in my signature. Stereo integrity woofers are awesome bang for your buck.

mustang guy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Everywhere I found the bottom at 20Hz for this driver. No thiele/small's available anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 No doubt I have a lot to learn. Probably should start with a Kit and see how it goes. Have various wood working tool, need to develop woodworking skills. Do more research to understand the terms and how to apply them.

derrickdj1 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) The subwoofer kits from Part Express are able to be put together in an hour or two and few tools are needed. I want to build an 18 in. subwoofer from one of their kits just to learn and see for myself. Edited November 26, 2013 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have various wood working tool, need to develop woodworking skills. Do more research to understand the terms and how to apply them. Taz Kits or flat packs work well to get you started. You really need a goal like I want my sub to go this low, I need a sub for HT or I need to fill this size room with bass that will go this low or something like that. Do the research, ask for help (I do all the time) and make some saw dust. Over the years I've learned more from my mistakes than my accomplishments.

mustang guy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Two tools that will make your life better when it comes to sub building are a Kreg system, and a Jasper router jig mounted to a router with a 1/4" straight carbide bit. The Kreg helps hold joints solidly, and the Jasper is for cutting exact driver mounting holes for the motorboard. If you buy a kit, you won't need to worry about these; however, some of the best folded horn subs are built from plans, not kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That's true Craig, I have them both. I've found that even with the Kreg, it helps to pre-drill the holes. If not, the self tappers pull the board you're attaching off line as you tighten the screws. Also it's best to use the self tappers with a drill that has an adjustable clutch so you don't strip them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's best to use the self tappers with a drill that has an adjustable clutch so you don't strip them out. While we're giving him a list of tools, lets add clamps (the more the merrier) they will also keep the boards from moving when installing pocket screws and a compressor with a crown stapler/finish nailer is something you'll never regret having and while you're making a list a small impact driver will cause you to forget you have a drill for driving screws. Heck, if you're going to make a list, might as well make it a long one; table saw, palm, orbital and belt sander, hvlp turbine sprayer, drill press, dolly's, HD ball bearing lazy susan support, respirator, a big work shop......................................................... it's a really deep rabbit hole my friend so either jump in or just go around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any money left, then you might want to start buying Klipsch speakers, so you can have hi-fidelity in every room in the house and garage. I have a lot of those tools. Lots of clamps, couple of compressors, finish stapler, lots of nail and brad guns, Several impact drivers from small to large, table saw. I think I have a palm sander, I have several belt sanders, a random orbital sander, drill press, router, hand dolly's, I have the stuff to build a couple lazy susans and furniture dolly's, respirator. Electric and hand planers, drills with adjustable clutches 24 x 48' shop upstairs and down. Kinda short on money though. Maybe I should sell some of my receivers, that would sure make my wife happy.
