floor sub install

ntculenuff

just thought i would share some photos of 2 polk csw100 subs that we are installing in a theater we are doing. the photos were taken with my phone so the quality is not the greatest but you can get the idea

holes cut

sub attached

insulation stuffed in floor to help with sound going downstairs

ready for the carpet

the little plate that you see will come off after carpet and a 2x12 vent will go over that.
i will get some good pics when all said and done.
this room is going to be done like a drive-in should be cool when done

Cool idea, but I wish those pics were larger. You should use something like Imageshack.us to upload the larger images and then cut/paste the IMG code to make display larger..

Very cool.

Any reason you didn't build an infinite baffle sub?

ntculenuff

here you go but they aren't the best quality(not much bigger)

second floor and it is right above the kitchen, time crunch, customer...ect.

Ahhh, now I can see the floor below it! Duh, the floor joists with ceiling should have given that away!

Very nice job!

I think with those types of subs I'd only want them installed in a wall that's not shared with any other room because I wouldn't want the sound to travel from room to room especially if you now have it sitting only 3/4 of sheet rock away from you.

i'm with ya there brett but gotta love builders we just have to put it where they want it we're hoping that the insulation and the design of the sub will help reduce as much as possible. i'm sure there will be some rattling though

I understand.........just wouldn't be something I'd opt for in the same scenario if it was my call. I do like the idea of all in-walls all the way around though, and if I had a good $10-15k layin around I'd love to put inwalls in........especially those IP addressable ones.

edit: now that I think about it, what a massive pain in the **** it would be to ever have to replace the sub if it was blown........lol.

i installed two of the csw200 in a customers floor off the polk amp and they sound great and are hidden under the carpet. I just wished i would have taken pics of the install, but look very similiar to yours without the vent. I mounted the csw200'sto the 2x12's and put a 3/4 board over the sub with holes cut out for the grill.

i hope this never happens cause it will be a major surgery

we installed the csw200 in the last one we did it rocked pretty good
