pennektj Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 All, I keep reading about all of the DIY subs people are building, and they fact that commercial subs are held down by size and weight constraints. I am looking to build a sub... and believe I may have the driver and amp already. could I use the driver and amp from a Cerwin Vega LW-15, or would you recommend purchasing new parts? Also, where can I go to find the proper recommended box design for these drivers and amps. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I would recommend new parts... The problem with reusing existing (non DIY) parts is it's very hard to find the Thiele/Small parameters in order to design a new box. The only info you do know is the current design! There is some info on how to measure some of these parameters at http://www.diysubwoofers.org/sbc/sbc2.htm ... actually www.diysubwoofers.org is a good site overall covering many aspects of DIY subwoofer design http://www.linearteam.dk/ offers a free software to design enclosures based on the T/S para. www.hometheaterforum.com has a great DIY forum enjoy...
