    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    Thomas, thanks for the advice. Sounds like you are recommending the Dayton DVC 15" over the Dayton IB 15" for a 4-driver IB. That's probably the way I'll go, and the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards a cube manifold approach. I need to run electrical wiring through the wall...

    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    Just when I thought I had decided on 4 Dayton IBs (15"), now I'm wondering if 2 isn't just as good in some regard. I'm thinking bang for the buck here. 2 drivers gives me a 4-ohm load. I could get the PE 250W plate amp to drive it, and get up to about 125W to each driver (250W output into a 4...

    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    OK, I was thinking the same thing. I've been working on this project for so long that when I'm done, I don't want to feel like I didn't go far enough on something! Using 4 also means (probably) using a manifold design, unless I decide I actually do like the look of the driver array taking up...

    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    Thomas, I assume that is your 12-driver IB sub on those pages. WOW! When you suggest going with 4 drivers because of ease of wiring, I assume you are saying that provides equal and friendlier amp loading from each driver (assuming 2 pairs hooked up in a serial/parallel fashion, providing...

    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    I think I'll look into this a bit more, and keep everyone posted on how it goes. However, I'm not sure when I'll get to it - the base finishing work on the basement is not moving very fast, and I still have quite a task ahead of me before I get to purchasing HT equipment. However, I need to have...

    Furnace Room Suitable for IB?

    I recently uncovered the subject of IB subs, and am intrigued by all the gushing press on the quality of the sound, as well as the neatness of the packaging. The only way this would work for me would be to use the "enclosed" furnace room. The back 7 feet of my basement is walled-off and...
