Alternative is Cerwin Vega speakers, look for something in the 90+ in the efficiency/sensitivity rating.... coupled with a measly 20 watt amplifier power should get you an eviction notice.
Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for you, but I wanted to thank you for listing all of the pertinent requirements, particularly the above.Audio quality does not matter whatsoever as this set up is only used to get drunk people dancing at parties.
I've thought about going the CV route. I'm just not sure if they would get louder than the 401's plus a sub.

I don't really have access to all the necessary tools to make speaker boxes, since I'll be at school away from my dad's tools haha. Although it would be a fun summer project. You're DIY sub looks very nice.Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for you, but I wanted to thank you for listing all of the pertinent requirements, particularly the above.
If DIY is an option, you might head over to DIY Speakers and Subs where you'll probably get lots of ideas. The bare box for the build in my sig + driver cost less than $100 and kicks pretty well, but would require additional $ for an amp (plate amps at PE express can be had for pretty cheap).
EDIT: If you can find a good deal on a PA-150 I understand they really put out the 50Hz and above stuff, probably better suited for your music (chest-thump).
Understood, just thought I would throw that out there.I don't really have access to all the necessary tools to make speaker boxes, since I'll be at school away from my dad's tools haha. Although it would be a fun summer project.
Thanks, we're really enjoying it.sjv7883 said:You're DIY sub looks very nice.
Actually, it is rear ported. Here's a thread where someone preferred it over the SVS PB-2000 due to the chest slam: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/113-s...hought-svs-pb2000-premier-acoustic-150-a.htmlsjv7883 said:That PA-150 also looks interesting, although it's a shame that it's not ported, as that would greatly increase it's output.
Does his Sherwood receiver have bass mgmt?College kid here. I already have my nice system, and now I'm posting for a friend.
I'm thinking that if he gets a sub it would take the load off of the receiver so it only has to power the speakers for the mids and highs and allow them to play louder.
Bottom line: So does anyone know of some loud subs for cheap?
Thanks!
Since building the Marty Cubes; the PA-150's are going to be for sale. I was going to start at 500.00 and see where that goes.Understood, just thought I would throw that out there.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not really sure what Dr. H ended up doing with his PA-150, he might have it for sale.
Couldnt tell ya. I just figured it did since it's an AVR. Don't nearly all AVRs have a high pass for the L&R speakers?Does his Sherwood receiver have bass mgmt?

Yeah, you should probably check on that.
With no bass mgmt you won't be taking any load off
Of the speakers.
Alternative is to make sure the sub has speaker
Level inputs and use the crossovers on the sub.
Thanks for all the information. It's been really helpful.***SNIP***
Table Tuba would kick butt and would be the absolute best DIY for the budget and output, but you need access to tools and time to do it.Thanks for all the information. It's been really helpful.
What do you think about...
- Getting 2 Dayton Sub15000s, OR
- Building 1 good DIY sub
Both would be about the same cost, no? I don't really need to dig into the really low Hz, just need to be loud in the 30-70Hz range.
I'd probably be looking at getting a Mini DSP either way, just so I can send a set of high passed RCAs to the Sherwood powering the L&R, and then send another set of RCAs to the sub(s).
As a side note to give you all a better understanding of the level of sound I'm looking for...
My dad has a pair of Klipsch Forte's powered by a Denon AVC3020. I'm looking to get about the same output as this set up. This setup is in a similar sized room, as the guy's house too (it's not a dorm).
White is 600watts @ 4ohms, Red is 580watts @ 4ohms.Building 1 good DIY sub
