Picked up a pair of VX-11s for $229 to go in my small condo. I wanted to use both but keep the noise transferred to my upstairs neighbors as low as possible. Started looking at SubDudes but I couldn't stomach the idea of spending $100 for stands for $230 worth of speakers. Started looking at other threads and what materials I had around, and here's what I came up with. Spent a total of $30 out of pocket (had some of the stuff like the sound deadening foam around already). Here's what I came up with. I think it's fairly self explanatory but if anyone has any questions, feel free! I based the measurement of the MDF off Velodyne's spec (11x17 IIRC) but it's actually a little bit too long. I'd take an inch off of the depth if I did it again. Started building the stands before I actually had the subs, so their measurement was all I had to go on.
My carpeting job isn't great and the flash makes them look a little worse than they do in person. They blend in well and look fine to the casual observer. I've been crazy busy and just wanted to get them done quickly.
I didn't bother using the subs without the stands, so I can't really comment on their actual effectiveness, but the setup sounds great, very balanced, no localization or boominess. I'd call that a good result even without a control.
