bassmachine Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 im going to put 6 12's in this box im building. But I want to build only 1 until i see if It makes my walls ripple to death.But my first question to you guys is that what size should my port be if I have 6 12's. and is this an ok build or more than sufficient.

Forevrbumpn Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just do 2- tower sub woofers- 3 each tower. And tune low. If your living room is large, tune it lower- depending on the subs of course. 20x20ft room, try 20-25hz, 15x15ft try 25-30hz, 10x10 - 30-40hz.... best way is to just measure the fursthest point in your room, from the main listening point (if going for theater- Sound quality) And use the 1/4 wave math there And what size should your port be? depends on your subs, and same for tuning Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Amalan Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 lmfao no no no my bose sub gets about as loud as the speakers in my laptop. bose subs are pretty weak imo theyre mainly long throwing subwoofers meant for home theater applications. if you want to put music on it then it wont be that loud. bose subs are meant for movies not music.

bassmachine Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 i know, thats what im using it for. Movies friend, and if you have it tuned right and a big enough port, the subs should pound, unless there is a better Woofer out there for home audio, show it to me friend.

Amalan Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 ok well you said you wanted to ripple your walls to death or something so i assumed you wanted it to be ungodly loud. i highly doubt bose subwoofers will accomplish that but if youre using it for movies then hell go for it.

bassmachine Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 but im also buliding a box that I believe is probaly never done for home audio. So what woofers would you use for music. Cuz when I have parties I want people to be scared of the box's the woofers sit in and not to mension the box is a lil over 7ft tall Quote Windows Xp1 40 & 120gigHDDMSI BoardUNDERCONSTRUCTION Dr. Doom aka StarScream3kDestruction at ur service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
