Unless he wants to come play with the big boys and go IB!

And never fear. The journey is not over yet. He still must tackle the EQ/room acoustics with sophisticated electronics and advancd measuring principles!

Went today, they had about 5 different thicknesses. Do you happen to remember how thick or the item number R something?

Thanks

Hi,

I've been reading the diy subwoofer forums for quite a while and I think I'm ready to have a go at building one, but need some help. My main purpose is to build the best I can for music not movies. I currently use an Axiom EP500 but want to see if I can do better.

I really like the idea of the 18" sealed as per this thread. I've read a lot about sealed vs ported and want to have a go at 2 sealed boxes. I'm looking at getting a crown amp (maybe a K2) as it seems to have excellent reviews at handling subs. I want to get some high quality 18" drivers known for accuracy with max power being a secondary consideration. I can plug in the tech specs to the simulators but I don't yet have a good feel as what makes one driver better than another and was hoping someone could advise Price right now is not the first consideration as I don't want to limit any options, but of course my funds aren't endless.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Someone put together a list of common diy drivers, but I'm open to any suggestions:
18" Aura NS18

18" lms ultra 5400

18" Mach 5 Audio IXL 18.2.2

18" Mach 5 Audio MJ18

18" Ficar audio Q18

18" Soundsplinter RLp18 D2

18" eD190v2 by Elemental Designs

18" Maelstrom-X by DIY Cable

18" XXX by Resonant Engineering

Don't be shy, start up a build thread for your project This isn't really the place for questions on a new build.

OK... here it ishttp://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1156246

I really appreciate any help Looks like you guys in this thread are very knowledgeable.

Yeah, call me someday if you want to use a DCX2496!! I'll teach you how to program it

If your amps do not need more the 2V to reach max output then the MiniDSP balanced 2x4 version is the perfect solution and has more functionality then the other choices.

Chuck!!! Welcome back!!! Did you read my PM on Htguide? Im wondering if you still measure amps? I have a few I want to ship you.

Thanks
Doug

I hope mine still works. I probably haven't used it since you last posted in this thread.

The DCX kicks ass!

One of the best purchases I have ever made.
