DIY Home Theatre Sub


Recommended Posts

I built this six years ago and decided I'd post it up here. This was about the 6th box I had made, knowing what I know now I would do a lot of things different but still happy with it. LoL I still haven't finished it, just sitting in bare mdf, someday I'll at least throw a coat of paint on it.

Box is 12.5ft3 approx after displacement tuned via 8" sonotube port

Subs are Soundsplinter RLP 15 d4's (tc based, I think 3hp?)

Powered by a Behringher Europower ep2400 amp, clamped it and think it was close to 1200w

Cramed it in a closet with subs firing back

Lots of plaster patching on my 100 year old house!

Thing pounds hard!

Rewired with some left over knu 8awg, the backs of the motors have oxidized too. Also I re-tuned it from 15hz to 28hz. cutting that tube out with a pocket knife was a bitch! Thinking flared 8" aero now.
