RossVTaylor Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 I posted the following in the Powered Subwoofers forum, but didn't get any response. Maybe, since I'm talking mostly about HT and not about a powered Klipsch sub, this belongs here instead? Here goes... Here's an idea I've had, and I found nothing in searches to help me out. Maybe somebody's thought this through before me and can offer some suggestions? In my upcoming home theater room, I'll have a raised platform for the second tier seats. Would it be feasible to build a good-performing subwoofer into this base? I'm not looking to recess my existing sub/s here. What I'm thinking of is a bass horn or folded bass tube custom built into the platform. Figuring on a platform about 11 feet by 8-9 feet, and about 11" thick. Is this practical? Has anyone seen plans for something like this? Hmmmm.... curious. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Hi Ross, sure,I've seen what might be a good start. www.partsexpress.com type #300-445 in the search.It's a dual voice coil 10"under floor mount with a heat vent type grill.Looks like something you could put under the seating. It's only 9"high,should work. It needs a seperate power amp,but they are on sale. I have one of their sub amps on my "behind the couch"sub and it works good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossVTaylor Posted December 30, 2000 Author Share Posted December 30, 2000 Steve, Thanks for the link. I've been to their site before, but have never seen that in-floor subwoofer. It looks like it has definite potential, but to be honest I was thinking bigger. Give me more, more, more! I would think that with the ample volume of space I'd have available, I could use a couple of their "Titanic" subwoofer drivers in a properly designed platform-cabinet and get some REAL low-end response. Am I dreaming? Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTADDICT Posted February 5, 2001 Share Posted February 5, 2001 Sorry I can't be of any help right now but I do share your same interest, I've been tossing around this idea with my local stereo shop and if I have any good info for you in the future I'll post it, also I'll be back to see what you come up with. Like the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
