Fi SSD 12's home theater question


Wehan

Recommended Posts

I already have a pair of FI SSD 12's, they are fully loaded high QTS (it's still a low enough QTS for a ported enclosure to be just fine) and I have a Behringer iNuke NU3000dsp. I have the subs currently in sealed 1cuft enclosures but the output is not very good. My question: Can the pair of 12's be a viable large single ported box canadates or am I better off going to say the Dayton Ultimax 18 and a Marty sub enclosure variant like a large number of DIY builders seem to doing?

They will work and you should be able to get decent performance. However depending on how low you want good output to a purpose built home theater sub is going to do better. Especially if you go up to an 18".

If you have space for a Marty, it's going to crush those SSDs below 30 Hz. Above 30 Hz their performance will be closer.

I was really hoping you would chime in, with any luck I can get enough out of selling the SSD'S to pay for an 18 and Marty building materials, I am after the super lows Marty's are known for. I definitely have room for a full Marty and I might even get the wife to go along if it doesn't cost anything.

If you have the space and spousal approval for a full Marty, you should totally do it.  The SSD's would be great for music, but for home theater bass the Marty is the way to go!
