    should I make this sub?

    Alright, I need some more help here. I got everything hooked up but haven't had a chance yet to get the equalizer set up. I've got a bit of a problem though. Sitting here listening to music off my computer there isn't squat for bass. The best way I can describe it is it seems like I've got next...

    should I make this sub?

    I'm actually running each driver off of it's own channel (each driver is wired to two ohms each running to their own channels). So if I've got this straight, I just wire it through the right channel on the EQ and they after the EQ split it with a Y adapter so I can have a signal going into each...

    should I make this sub?

    Ok, need a little help with the connection part of this. I didn't realize the eq and amp use XLR connections. So what I have right now is a 50ft. coax signal cable (this one to be exact For only $8.32 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 50ft High-quality Coaxial Audio/Video RCA CL2 Rated Cable - RG6/U...

    Halloween Costumes?

    I was captain Morgan last year. GREAT costume but way hot. This year I'm just throwin on a pair of black fleece pants, a long sleeve under armour type shirt, my snowmobiling balaclava, and grabbed a sword to be a ninja.

    Alrighty. Thanks a TON for all your help. Can't wait to have this thing done now.

    should I make this sub?

    You said earlier that your program said to make the enclosure 200 liters. Does that include the drivers or not?

    should I make this sub?

    I actually just picked up a spl meter a week ago, so I've got that. Sounds like getting the eq would definitely be worth it. Since I'm building the sub using both drivers, I don't think output will be an issue by any stretch of the imagination, so I think I'm going to go with a sealed enclosure...

    how should i split my CATV

    I had caps on unused ports when they weren't being used. I picked up a standard 8 way splitter and am going to get an amp to put inline before the splitter. I'm hopin that the amp/splitter unit that I'm currently using is just a cheap piece of crap and that's what's causing the trouble.

    should I make this sub?

    Alright. I ordered the amp earlier today. Do you think I should go with the sealed or ported? You suggested getting the eq....what exactly is that going to do in this situation and how would I set it? Thanks again for all the help.

    how should i split my CATV

    Right now I've got my CATV line comming into my basement, going into a two way splitter. One way goes over to my computer for my cable modem and the other feed goes to this amp/splitter box (plugs into AC power) On a couple of my TV's I have these horizontal lines (not bad, just enough to be...

    should I make this sub?

    Well headroom sounds better than overkill, so I might as well build it for both subs then haha. The shape of the enclosure doesn't necessarily have to be a triangle. It could be a square, rectangle, cylinder, whatever...the goal is to just have whatever shape it is fit within the outline of the...

    should I make this sub?

    Here's a rough sketch of the triangle. Like I said earlier too, the loveseat can be adjusted a bit to make room if needed: I had actually originally planned on using just one of the drivers. Thought two might be overkill for my basement. Thoughts? I could probably swing 350 for that amp...

    should I make this sub?

    As far as box size goes, I don't really have the room to make a ginormous box, but it doesn't have to be tiny either. It's going in the corner of a room with a loveseat angle in the corner. The very rough dimensions of the triangle shape footprint that the back of the couch and the two walls...

    should I make this sub?

    Sealed boxes are certainly easier to make, but I'd definitely port it if it was worth the extra work. I can't really comment on the cylinder tubes as I don't know much about em. I'm always up for something new though.

    should I make this sub?

    I haven't had much of a chance yet to find out what's available as far as amps that would work in this setup, I'm not sure what's a reasonable price to be looking at. Off the top of my head I guess I'd like to keep it within the 2-300 dollar range if that's possible (the cheaper the better, but...

    should I make this sub?

    I'll try to make this as short as possible. I've always been into car and home audio, but more the car side. Well now I'm starting to upgrade my home theater equipment that is several years old/lower end (just picked up a denon 3808 yesterday :D ). Right now I've got a Sony SA-WM40 for a sub...
