I'm attempting to do my first powered subwoofer build and would appreciate any advice or help you are willing to give. I am horrible on computers and the Internet searching. I luckily stumbled across this forum yesterday and it has been helpful. After seeing some of the people's home theater systems and elaborate builds on here I'm sure I will get laughed at about what I'm working with but figured I would ask anyway.
I'm working with a tight budget but really want to replace the 50 watt Sony woofer we are using now. I have a new RE Audio sex15 sitting here doing nothing so I decided instead of buying a new powered sub I wanted to try to build my own. I ordered a Bash 500 watt plate amp to power it. Now I need to build the enclosure for it. I really want to build a down firing ported box. The RE Audio site gives dimensions for a recommended enclosure I'm just not sure if that would need to change for a down firing sub. Also would it be ok to fire the sub down and have the port facing forward?
Thanks in advance for any help
