Hey everybody,
I'm selling my house and moving come the fall, so I've found myself needing to downsize my LFE, which is currently a Danley DTS-10 in order to handle rental living for the following year and have an acceptable GAF. So after much research I ended up ordering a SI HT18D2 and a DIYSG 4cu flatpack last night. I think this should keep the girlfriend happier than a giant 300lb unfinished plywood box, that I really don't want to move 3 times in the next year and half or so before we can seriously settle into a long term home together, and I can resume my AV addiction. So I'm just going to layout what I've bought and what I plan to buy, and I'd love an suggestions or insight from previous builders.
Stuff I have:
Si HT18D2(plan on running this as a 4ohm load)
4cu Flatpack
Binding posts
Crown XTI-1000 for power and eq duties.
Stuff I'll need.
Glue( I used PL on the Danley, and I hated working with it, any suggestions)
Paint? Duratex,bedliner, restore 4x. open to suggestions.
Polyfil, I've read conflicting opinions on the need/how much.
Any tips on EQ, I run a 2.1 setup and my mains are strong down to the 45hz range, I currently cross the danley at 60hz using a 48db L/R.
Having never built a sealed sub, it seems fairly straight forward, but if there anything beyond insuring a perfect seal that I should know going forward.
Thanks, I will update this thread as my parts come in.
