Greetings DIY'ers. I was hoping for some experienced guidance or suggestions from the DIY community that could point me in the right direction for something. I would like to know what kind of option I would have in going the DIY route for a fairly small sealed sub to add to my current ID sub, mainly to help out with smoothing, not necessarily for a huge SPL increase, although I will take some if I get it.
I currently have a PSA XS30 as my main sub in my living room, and would like to replace the PSW110 that I am using nearfield to fill in a null at my MLP. I am not flexible with placement or the location of the MLP, its my main living room.
The issue I have is that I am looking for an enclosure with a max width of 15", the length and height can be higher but I don't want something huge...20-22" would be fine.
I also, of course, would like to strike a good balance between price and performance, otherwise I would just buy another XS30(actually it is too wide).
Would 5-$700 build a sub that would meet or exceed the performance of say an XS15 or SB2000 and match up with the XS30(better than the PSW110 does)?
No clue where to start, what driver to use, what amp, dsp, enclosure etc.
I have limited time, no woodworking tools, just some interest.
So far the XS15($750) is an option I am considering, but at 17" it is wider than I would like.
Thanks.
