This is only for music...
Curiosity got the best of me...
This DIY sub uses 4 6.5" woofers, and a 10" PR...
First let me say, this subwoofer has thoroughly impressed me, and with the success of my other projects, this one isnt any real exception - I can't take full credit for anything, our good friend Russ Gates has helped me with all of them!
Anyways... This subwoofer hangs right in there with the SVS...
A couple things I would change though...
12" PR
200 or more watt amp...
It gives out way to early, so I have to turn it down...
However, it still keeps up with the SVS in output pretty well...and has chest pounding bass...
The bass even sounds a bit more accurate, with a bit more texture...
Very cool...
PS - The SVS is not plugged up on top, it is there to be out of the way...

So what was the total build cost ? Good job on the great sub.:)
-
hmm....
40-50 bucks for drivers... (buy out 6.5")
100 bucks for amp, free wood, 3 dollar for spray paint, 5 dollars for grill cloth, 3 bucks for quick disconnects and 2-3 bucks for wire...
Not to much....
Only complaint with this sub is the 6.5" drivers have a 'rattle' at higher volumes, they arnt bottoming, they just rattle...- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
