Miguels Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 im looking for a sub or subs that would sound good for the home.. im looking at the Fi X or even the Fi Q. its going to be powered by a Dayton SPA 1000. Scott posted a sell on a 10 inch sub that is a single 2 ohm. i might get that and use the Dayton SPA500.. what are my option.. i know nothing about home audio need help building a theater surround sound my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Boston Acoustics is where i'd look. Why spend so much on a questionable amplifier? You would get a lot more for your money buying used off eBay or Craigslist. People sell badass home stereo's all of the time in my area... for about the price you would be spending on just that amplifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Big as all ever, tuned low or in an infinite baffle. I would look at Dayton and wouldn't go anything below 15". I would also suggest dipole if you care to put in much more effort than anything else. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Soccerballzs Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 You do not need subs bigger then 15. I run 2-12 Eminence subs off a Electronic crossover and 500 watt amp. Also run 2-15 inch Eminence off 500 watts shakes every wall in the house. A house has different acoustics then a Car less power in watts needed. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakin Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 The smaller the cone area the further it is going to have to excurt in order to reach the same SPL. The best home theaters I have been in have had multiple 18s stacked or at least 4 in a row all across the front wall in order to combat room acoustics. I would recommend at least two of whatever you get and put them in opposite corners, not together.
