I would like to build simple but good boxes for the speakers below, have a shop and the tools just need some knowledge and advice. Please let me know what size and interior clear cu.ft would be ideal. Also, if any fibre fill/insulation, interior bracing, sizing and material (ie. 3/4" mdf) etc...

Well I have narrowed it down to two final choices and need help before I pull the trigger: Onkyo NR709 for around $500 with taxes/shipping OR Pioneer Elite SC-61 for $900 all in. Both will have full warranties. Will that extra cash for the Elite be worth it for the setup I am working on?: My...

I am between the Pioneer SC1222 and Onkyo 709 which currently look like my best options, unless there are other suggestions. I will likely upgrade my speakers in the future but use the really nice 4ohm CXS64s I have for quite awhile. The future speaker budget will be around $700 for the left and...

Okay so I have narrowed it down to either: - Onkyo NR616 $349 - Onkyo NR717 $499 - Pioneer VSX1122 $379 - Pioneer SC1222 $549 My options are: - Run the 717 or 1222 with the 4ohm speakers until I add more speakers and maybe an amp later. or - Save some money by going with the 616 or 1122 and buy...

Thanks for the heads up on the Denons, I will look into those Onkyos. Any suggestions are welcome I am not stuck to the receivers above, thats all I found to be the best deals locally. I would like to add Pioneer SC-1222-K to the list since I found a good online price around $600.

Looking at a few receivers locally and here is what I am in between at the moment, would appreciate a recommendation. First a few things I would like: - I dont want a receiver that will colour or brighten sound, natural the way the music was recorded would be ideal. - Music and home theatre use...

The sub is in the works! Looking at a few receivers locally and here is what I am in between at the moment, would appreciate a recommendation. First a few things I would like: I dont want a receiver that will colour or brighten sound, natural the way the music was recorded would be ideal. Music...

I trust your expertise, thank you Robert_J! pretty much building this using the design you showed me and the advice given here. One last question before I start measuring and cutting, why might opposing subs be better than the standard side by side in this case? Cant wait to get rolling on this...

Quick question before I build this, I plan on building 2 cu.ft. as you recommended, was just wondering why is 2 cu.ft. to 3 cu.ft. ideal for this box build? Thanks

Picked up the Bash 300W plate amp and now I am ready to build the sub box. I have access to a full workshop but I am totally new to this. You mentioned the box size should be between 2-3 cu ft and sealed. Would interior bracing be required, if so how much? How much foam is required?How do I wire...

Just to verify, that would be 300W RMS into 4 ohms? I am having trouble finding that specific plate amp on their site, is there another place to find one? and who has the best price on these? Thanks

Thank you Robert, I am waiting on specs for the components, likely next monday when the techs return from CES or recover from a week in vegas....

Hi Robert, thanks for the advice and offering your expertise. Putting together the right design for these boxes is crucial. The parameters for the subs are attached, I have two of them and I thought it might be nice to put one in either corner of the back of the room behind the seating, or one...

I think I will have bookshelf boxes made for my former car image dynamics CX64s, a box made for each image dynamics subwoofer for each side of the room and pickup a good Pioneer Elite receiver stable at 4 ohms to power the system. Checking around me the boxes will be approx. $400-$500 max for...

Thank for the feedback, I know the ID speakers all sounded great in my IASCA SQ vehicle. I assume from your reply these IDs in the correct enclosures with a high quality receiver would be better options than the other speaker/combo options I have listed for the results I am looking for and the...

I am on a budget and looking for sound quality for both home theatre and music (electronic and rock). I am thinking 2.1 or 3.1 with the ability to add up to 5.1 in the future when I have more $. The room is about 20'x14'x8'. The speaker choices so far in budget from reading the forums are as...
