  1. Yea i was thinking about a sonotube enclosure... so how do you cap the ends?? just make 2 round mdf cutouts to plug it then just glue andscrew the mdf through the tube from the outside ? using a few 1x2 braces to brace and hold the 2 pieces together on the inside?
  2. wow man.. very impressive! id be afraid my kitten would run through the port lol... more pics if ya got em... and since ppl on here know more about the specs of the lvl 3s than me, what dimensions and port tuning and length should i be going with>> like i said .. never done an aero
  3. yea man, its a tough call... is there anything i need to know when tuning a HT enclosure.. so if i decide to go with option 2 i dont make it sound like ass... Does it say in the specs of the sub what it recommends for enclosure size and tuning? sorry my pages arent loading very quick tonight
  4. i thought i just sprinkled some of that magic dust and my sh!t would sound like a fathom.... ???? :hairtrick:
  5. ahhh the geometry of woofers.... for $150 would it just be better to go with something like this? and how would a $400 DIY setup compared to a $400 big box sub sound .. Example of the klipsch sub 12 which shockingly i was impressed with .. So since i only really want to spend $400 , heres my options Run the dcs off this amp http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=300-808 $400 DIY amp http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=300-806 sub http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-404 klipsch-- $400 store bought http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Synergy-SUB-...r/dp/B0011YZ0CM
  6. funny you say that .. lol Yea it was a mess back there , but its 100x better now.. the sub now is actually on a 16" riser sub is firing at the back of the tv and the port is firing against the corner of the wall .. no other way reallly
  7. any worries about over excursion and bottoming out with 1000 watts tuned that low????... Another thing .. what makes a HT sub so much better than a car sub.. what specs of the driver do you look at ... I took a pic of a sub i have and it sounds pretty good for what it is... hell of alot better than the DC , but cant figure out why... especially with the comparison... what do u think .. MY ROOM
  8. newb HT question... Larger enclosures..... More boomy and louder smaller enclosure tighter and lower? Im seriously lost.. i think the room acoustics of a house F@&k with me... And why in your tuning did you go a little higher? i was assuming under normal tuning , that a HT setup tuned to 18-22 hz would peak around 38-40 .. which is room dependent i understand , buit as a general idea is this true?
  9. of the probably 30+ enclosures ive built ive never done an aero... but i believe is a must if i do this
  10. I know these subs CAN sound good, but in HT HOW do you make it sound good... there basically in a car spl type enclosure tuned in the 30's.. When i put it in my buddies basement for testing it dropped out around 35 hz, Just got very loud and vibrated the shit out of everything... not to great for HT So what im asking is can i tune a box that low.. possibly even lower ( i would like to tune to 18 hz or so ) with that much power still?? i know id have to tune it and keep an eye on the gains, cuz 1000 watts in my spl enclosure is alot better for these things than 1000 watts in a 18hz 6 cf HT enclosure.. I just dont wanna mess up the subs, nor do i want to waste time and money building these into a HT setup, if i could just buy one or 2 of those titanic subs i linked ,
  11. Ive been debating what to do with my lvl 3 12's for a while.. Sell them and upgrade , add a few more and do a wall , sell them outright, or to just keep them and attempt to make an enclosure for them for my HT... I know i know, they are not made for HT etc etc,,.. And i did actually put them in my buddies HT setup once.. He has a Amp that somewhere around 1k @4 ohms so it was perfect... but obviously sounded like ass... my old polk 10 sounded 10 times better and deeper than both of these things.. and i realize there in a near 4 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 34 hz but i thought they might work... So my question is, if i got this amp ( http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=300-808 ) And made an enclosure tuned to around 22-24 hz would it sound better, worse ... i have no clue.. ..?? I have built enclosures for years and have been a carpenter for 10 so i know what to do, i just need some guidance from rusty or someone who has tried this... I know ppl who have put SS subs, tc sounds, soundsplinter subs etc in HT but they seem like they were more designed to be there than the DC stuff, no idea why... Im just debating because i do need a sub in my HT as now i have an all new 2009 5.1 setup but am really missing the low end..... If this will not work more than likely i will just keep the 1000 watt dayton amp and buy 2 of these 12s, http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-404 or a single 15 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-420 thoughts or suggestions???
  12. thanks alot guys.. yea rustys pm'd me quick with #'s.. if i sell my lvl 3s on craigslist or something ,what should i put them out for?? $400 for the pair in the box?? Alot of people around here have no idea what DC is so thats why its hard to sell these without having people hear them i know its high but ppl here just dont know... they pay 500 for a pair of w3's, i sold my old RE SX ythe same way.. put it on the local pages , and had ppl listen to it at a show.. sold it, for 300
  13. actually my first post was to rusty, in regards to my lvl 3 wall.... :hairtrick: unless u count the song i posted

  20. CLose friend of mine is trying to get his name out there and i got a cut off his cd and listened to it today.. VERY good bass line in most of the songs.. Some might sound familiar, but just give it a listen and let me know what u think.. the song " on the dancefloor " is the one being played on local radio now.. This version on myspace is not as good as the cut for the radio, but still slams pretty hard http://www.myspace.com/mikelwhite2
