Hey guys. I'm pretty new to the subwoofer game, and I don't have a lot of cash on hand. I've currently got two of the new Dayton 12" subs on order (one for computer room, the other for home theater). They were pretty much the best I could find in the budget I was looking for.
But...
Silly me, I've kept reading this forum, and people keep saying how the Dayton doesn't go below 35 Hz at best, etc, etc. I think the 12" will definitely more than suffice for the computer, but I'm having second thoughts about the HT.
So, I'm toying with the notion of building a 15" Quatro instead, with the 240 Watt PE plate amp. Any thoughts? How hard is it to build a box, and are there any good resources I should be looking at before I even think of such an undertaking? Also, how much would I expect to spend in extra materials? I know I'd have to go buy some MDF at a minimum.
I haven't decided on anything yet, and I may just take the 12's and be happy. This would probably cost at least 100 bucks more...
