Oh wow, yeah I totally forgot all about that. Thanks for catching that and saving me from undesired results!!! (told you I was a n00b) I'll try modeling up those drivers and boxes you suggested and see what happens. Thanks Brent.

Awww, come on guys. I don't mean to be annoying, but I'm pretty new to HT and vented enclosures in general.

First, PE doesn't fully list the T/S parameters for the HF, so if anyone knows where I can get them, please link!!:D Now, I was using WinISD for the Titanic MKIII and came up with a 5 ft^3 box tuned to 20Hz. It has 2 ports that are each 2 inches in diameter and 6.97 inches long. Could anyone...

Cool, thanks for the tip Ed.

I plan on making a sonosub, so the adjustable PVC port idea sounds pretty good. I want the enclosure to be as small as possible, as I'd like to take it with me to college, so an adjustable port would be ideal. Will having many tiered pipe sizes affect port velocity and create excessive port...

Ok, will do.

Ok, that makes sense. So, basically I want to tune as low as possible and still have a flat response? (or as close as possible)

Looks like it's the one for me. The reviews you posted, along with many others, basically say it's the best one out there for the money. Hopefully I can find a place around here to audition it...just to be sure.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just don't want to design a system that looks good on paper and seems to have a flat response curve, then find out it's tuned too high or too low for HT. Here's an example: When building car audio subs you generally tune to around 30-35Hz, because this gives you...

Cool, thanks Phil. I'll definitely read up on it.

What are the popular tuning frequencies for ported home theater subs? I know many things come into play, especially the room's characteristics, but what kind of response is needed for a robust home theater sound? How about for a mix of music and movies?

I feel the same impatience for my center. For some reason I only feel like building the sub. It's probably an impatience thing as having a 5.0 system before a 4.1 system sounds better to me. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. I guess I just want to get things crackin'.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Right, that's what is so frustrating at times. Thank goodness for DIY!!:emoji_thumbsup:

My hodge-podge HT is slowly coming together. I got my receiver hooked up and tuned, and will be adding more components as I go. Here's what I have so far: Pioneer VSX-815 Fronts: some speakers my dad made when he was in high school Surrounds: BIC America Venturi V2's Don't laugh at the...

Are there any noticeable differences in sound quality between these two cable types? I'm going to upgrade the connections on my PS2 and XBox using one or the other for surround sound in games and when playing DVDs. They seem to run about the same price, but I was just wondering if one is better...

What drivers would you guys recommend in the price range of the 12" Dayton, Shiva, AV12, the above GR, etc??

PR's have always intrigued me, and that's a helluva price for both the woofer and the PR. Are you recommending from experience? If so, what do you think of them?

Nice link, thanks Brendy. That's pretty much what I had in mind.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking that DIY would be the way to go. I would probably do a cylinder made out of Sonotube or something, which would be very simple and pretty inexpensive. I also re-thought my price range, realizing that it's pretty low. I realized I spent like $400 on the sub, box...

I'm piecing together a beginner home theater system for gaming, movies, and music. 70/20/10 - gaming/movies/music I'll be taking the system to college with me in the fall. At that point it'll probably be more like 40/30/30 - gaming/movies/music. I built a custom sub enclosure for my car...

Ok, thanks John. I think I'll just stick to a receiver that provides enough inputs for my application.

Hey all, I just joined the forum and am similarly just getting into home theater. I'm piecing together a modest system in my basement that I will later take with me to college. In shopping for receivers, I have noticed that many offer video upconversion, either from composite to S-video, or...
