Newbie question...I am upgrading my home theater setup (new Yamaha RX-V2600, new Panny 50" 8UK plasma) and would like to add a sub...Never had one before (have Boston Acoustics old T1030 floor standing mains and center)...The sub (I know, I know I shouldn't put it there) will need to go in an enclosed cabinet---open out into the room but closed on all other sides (we have a built in entertainment center and wife will NOT allow it to go on floor)....Living room where it will reside is about 18' x 20'...Mostly listen to movies/tv..
Cabinet is only 18" deep which is the limiting dimension (width and height will not be an issue). Do I need to stick with either a front firing/front ported? Is it a really bad thing to have a front firing sub ported to the back in an enclosed space like this? What would be a good low budget (under $300, might even buy used on Ebay) choice for this arrangement?
You guys are the experts....Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.
