I am planning our future theater room as our home is being built as we speak. I have the mains and rears taken care of thanks to DIYSG and now I am on to the subs. I have an L shaped rec room that is roughly 35'x22' with a bar around the corner. Ceilings are 9' in the basement so it's a fairly large room. It's over 8500 cf
If I am sitting at the LP the wall to my left is shared with the mechanical room. I want to build an IB manifold on the side wall about 16" from where the two walls meet. It will almost be in the corner. I have no way of measuring or experimenting at this point as it is just framed.
Am I making a mistake to commit to having an IB in that spot without experimenting first? This is not a room I can place subs out in the open so my thought was to get the most without taking up real estate I should do an IB.
Budget is around $1000 for subs and an amp. I would like to get 4 SI HT 18's with an Inuke 3000dsp. That puts me very close to the budget. Do these work well in IB? I know FI IB3's are probably better, but are they worth the extra $400 I would spend for 4?
Thoughts??
