Will it be worth my trouble?

I currently have an AV15-x from acoustic elegance powered by an ep2500. I also have a 10" car audio sub laying around as well as a 240w dayton plate amp. I was thinking about building something to increase the midbass or something fun with it, my question is is it going to be worth my while or should I just would I be better off sticking it in a different room on music duty or something?

Here's what winISD says, av15 with 1kw and the 10" sub with 240w. The av15 is in 7ft^3 tuned to 19hz which I'm hoping I will be able to use a 4th order butterworth at 16hz to keep the xmax in check. The 10" sub is in 1ft^3 tuned to 37hz and has a 1st order butterworth at 13hz which I have been told models close to the rolloff of the dayton plate amp. I also modeled a 6th order bandpass box just to see how it compares.


So, is it worth my time to build the box and everything or not?

I kind of forgot about this thread but, I've got this weekend free and want to do a fun project. I would even consider a ~30+hz horn too if that was doable with this sub. here's the specs.



Just looking for something fun to build, any ideas welcome.

Sounds great. The 8mm of xmax is what worried me about this sub, but if the design works I will build it and take plenty of pics.

Well thanks for trying, I might just build a quick sealed box for it to see how it does for now. If you come up with a design that works be sure and let me know.

I wouldn't hold your breath
