Just finished another home subwoofer build


Recommended Posts

Used a modified 15" Q that Scott built up for me (I think he reduced the power handling, since I am only using a 500 watt plate amp, I did not want to blow the sub by under powering it. . .haha).

500 watt PE Dayton plate amp.

8 cuft net with (2) 4" Aero ports tuned to 21-22 Hz.

Just shot texture on it - he is going to paint it to match the room and it goes in the corner.

This is part of a HT job for this customer - Really nice setup. Epson 8500UB projector with 120" screen (awesome projector). 7.1 with nice in-walls and this sub. Denon AVR 4310CI receiver and Sony BDP-S470 Blu-Ray player. Big room - 22' deep x 27' wide.

Looks great man, what is that texture?

I really need to get me a new home sub system built up

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.

Looks great!. one thing i wanna point out though: you CANNOT blow a speaker by UNDER powering it. This is a myth perpetuated by people who think that since they're underpowering the sub they can turn the volume(their vision of the gain knob) all the way up and clip the speaker to death.
