Wasteland_Audio Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 So I've been needing a new TV stand for quite some time now. The current one i have is just some cheapo wal-mart one and it can no longer hold all of my gaming systems and other equipment. I've always wanted to try incorporating a 3 way stereo including subs but all of my previous designs were a little over kill (4 high power 10s in a 4th order). This time i decided to be a bit more conservative. This design uses two 8 inch 100 watt rms subs each in their own 1.87ft^3 ported enclosure tuned to 24hz. I plan to run a small 250 watt rms plate amp to power them. I was wondering if i could get some input from the home audio guys and let me know if this would work well or if i should just give up on the whole integrated sub thing. Thanks for reading!

ALDJ253 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I am not a home audio guy, and you probably know more than I do, but have you thought about one 12 inch sub, not built into the cabinet? When I was looking around at SQ subs, the Dayton HO came up frequently, but mainly in a ported enclosure, tuned super low for home audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was looking around at SQ subs, the Dayton HO came up frequently, but mainly in a ported enclosure, tuned super low for home audio Actually the original idea for this one was a single Dayton HO 10" built into the cabinet at 22hz, but due to budget issues i can do 2 lower power 8s for cheaper (I'm trying to keep it under $400 for everything). The reason i want to do a full range center is the room this will be in is absolutely terrible for a surround application so i need the full range of sound coming from the TV, otherwise if i do a separate sub enclosure the bass would be coming from the right side of the room.

Skullz Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Careful about resonances from your low frequency drivers. I would personally build speaker cabinets that fit in there that will not resonate the rest of the stand. The best way to prevent that from happening is to use a lot of mdf and bracing, and that will drive up the cost and weight of your project. I am not trying to prevent you from going forward on the project, but merely trying to point out possible problems you may run into, i think it is a great idea worth trying out. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Another option is to source an old vintage console stereo and refurb it for your wants and needs. https://www.google.com/search?q=home+console+stereos&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS732US732&espv=2&biw=1333&bih=684&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjL4sTbpb_SAhUj8YMKHR4cAdkQ_AUIBygC#tbm=isch&q=vintage+console+stereos&* Check craigslist and see if anything pops up. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandma has an old console like this that just sits around in her living room and gets played briefly once a year when we clear it off for decorating. I wish she would let me have it so I could revamp it. Clean it up and what not with some new drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
