Peter P. Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 What are your requirements? Do you have size limitations? Do you need speaker level inputs? How much are you willing to spend? Do you have a preferred design-ported or sealed? Any brands you are interested in? Help the forum narrow it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room size is about 14x16, no major space issues to speak of- the heresy's are parked next to a set or RP-8000F right now. Budget under 1K, speaker level inputs? Be nice to not have to adjust output on a powered sub to match volumes, but don't have an amp to power them at this stage. I don't know about sealed vs ported, the heresy is sealed.

Their on-line tech support quickly answers questions. I bought mine from their web Outlet and saved about fifty bucks. Generous return policy. The SB-1000 is a very compact, just over 12" cube so placement is easy and flexible. I was interested in the HSU Research subs because they can be played sealed OR ported. Great to experiment. I was just too cheap to pay the price difference between HSU and SVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading a lot of good about this sub, fyi did a recheck and room is 11x14, was looking a the SB-2000 series (on sale) but for the size of the room, I'm seeing that the SB-1000 is better for that size room.

My son-in-law is running Heresy iis with an SB2000, and it sounds great. In a larger space than yours, but still a good match. I’m a big believer in DIY subs, if you are up to a bit of effort the results are quite rewarding. I’ve built a couple of Bill Fitzmaurice’s designs, and they are great with Klipsch speakers. https://billfitzmaurice.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOCKING- Sorry, had to). Mind sharing which setup you have made and some pics. This may be a moot point tho- was going to try to repurpose a velodyne impact to do this, but come to find out the plate amp is dead, and there are no T/S specs available for the driver...

Actually, I’ve documented the two I’ve built in threads on this forum. I’ll find the links to those threads. Here’s a pic of the one that probably would suit your Heresys fairly well, it’s the T18.

M_Klipsches Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I found the thread, for my Table Tuba build. It turned into my “Pandemic Project, as I’d just finished gathering parts before the world shut down. it documents the whole build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Klipsches Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 This is the T18 build. They are great projects, if you are reasonably handy.Buy the plans & follow Bill’s instructions to the letter and you’ll get good results. If you decide to go this route,there are some folks here that are ace builders, and great resources. Good luck, I’m happy to offer any advice that I can. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/182249-t18-subwoofer-project/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not purchased any BB since the pandemic, it wasn’t cheap even then. I hope it goes well, I can’t imagine being disappointed with the results. We had the kids back home this weekend, and had a Disney movie on for the Grandkid, and my son even commented on the bass output of the little T18 in the family room. Keep us posted on your progress. Read & re-read the plans before you begin. You can’t have too many clamps! Keep things square & follow the plan!There are a few folks on here who are ace builders and they’ve been a great help to me. I’ve been wanting to build a THTLP, just because it would be a better fit in my music room, but that may be a post-retirement project. Good luck on your build. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
