Jim Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Any recommendations for sub kits in either 15" or 18"? I'm looking to solidify my low end and want to see what's available to me. Looking for something easy as I am not that good on patience trying to build from scratch.I'm only so-so with power tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Parts Express has a few DIY kits. There's a few guys around here that seem to know a lot about the kits….Scrappydue, Derrickdj, Metropolis, Cecca…someone with more knowledge will be along shortly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Click on my link in my signature for my subwoofer build. Very easy to do. Only hard part is measuring a sub and setting up DSP On amp. But I think some just supply the power and let receiver eq take care of the sub and hope for the best. Me, I wanted full control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 BF Simplexx 15 or 18 Home Theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 BFM Simplexx are well designed cabinets and very easy to build, plus they are a step above your normal precut DIY kits in many ways. The Simplexx 15 uses the Dayton RSS 15" driver, either the HO or HF depending if you go with the ported or sealed version. Both are great drivers for your $$$. The 18" version recommends the Dayton Ultimax and is a sealed design and if i recall somebody here is selling a 1000 watt Dayton amp on the cheap that would be a perfect match for the build. No special tools are needed to build ether cabinet, just a circular and a jigsaw will do the trick. If carpentry is not your thing check out the Stonehenge kit from DIY sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Circular & Jig ARE special tools to many... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 How about some easy to build & available flat-packs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I can handle circular and jig. The one part I'm lazy on is the small details, which turn out to be the big details. Thanks for the info guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 How about some easy to build & available flat-packs? Did you click the link to the Stonehenge above? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, any other good options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, any other good options? The DIY sound group has 8 or 8 flat packs including sealed and ported. There's a vendor that makes BFM subwoofer flat packs also I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
