Low budget 2.1 room set up


Recommended Posts

Not all 8s have an Fs of 67Hz. And, they don't shut off completely 1 octave below Fs... they start rolling off there.

That's what I said when I got my 12" but now I need to go to an 8" because the 12" is too loud. Worst comes to worst I'd have to sell the 8" later which shouldn't be too hard, or put it in my car someday. I use the Bash 300 and have never had a problem with the auto on

Do u use it for home theater too or just music?

This receiver has a quality sound, do not let the sony name fool you. Have this power your left and right channels which I put together a woofer and tweeter combination that should blend nicely.

and the crossovers

now for the sub, t-lines in home audio are overkill unless you are running 100+ watts to your mains and have a large space to fill, so a 6.5 built in a correct t-line will be more than sufficient.

Wow those are some great suggestions at a great price! Thanks so much.

I do have a few more questions for you....

How many tweeter/speakers in total should I buy? And how to wire them? And what enclosure should I put the speakers/tweeter in?

I currently have one tweeter with one speaker running a 2.1. I am using different tweeters, but I have installed the ones I linked above into cars and they have a nice warm sound. The speaker cabinet themselves are roughly .75ft^3 and ported with a 3x2.5 tuning to around 75Hz. Given the design, these reach down to the mid 40's with authority for a medium sized room, but they really shine from the 80-140hz range as I wanted them to be.

there you can see when I had first built the cabinets being sealed and then my ported design and when they were all built. Being sealed they really lacked decent output from 200hz down, but that could have also been because they were in .25ft^3 or less.

That's what I said when I got my 12" but now I need to go to an 8" because the 12" is too loud. Worst comes to worst I'd have to sell the 8" later which shouldn't be too hard, or put it in my car someday. I use the Bash 300 and have never had a problem with the auto on

Do u use it for home theater too or just music?

Both. Usually chill on my bed to watch movies and explosions shake my bed so there's another plus

masterbation is free, and even saves you money.sorry but someone had to say it

sorry, Jimmy...beat you to it (no pun intended)

LOLDON'T get a wife. Best advice I never got, and now it's too late <_<

My build: 12" DCON in a dorm room.

New/current build: 8" woofer, custom amplifier block, fiberglassed speaker pods
