I am seriously considering building a new sub.. i have a Tannoy PS115 (15") sub .. it retails at about $1500 but i got it for $500 so no biggie there.. well i've had it for about 2 years and i just want more response.. i still dont get that bass that i do when i go to a good theater or a club or something with a professional install..
I want to build a sonosub or something like that.
One thing I want to knwo from you guys is this - is the bass coming out of tempest based sonosubs as "full" as theater installs? .. is it worth making a 2 driver setup .. or a driver / radiator setup?
I am also getting a BFD tommorow (the new one! yeay) so I'm gonna play around with my current sub a bit to see how much effect that will have (hopefully i'll be able to post some screenshots of the curves before and after) .. so i'll be able to tweak the sonosub as well..
Also, how "high" to these subs go in terms of frequency .. i have a Marantz SR7000 which is stupidly locked into a 100hz crossover.. i doubt that will be a problem but with a 15" u never know
any comments/recommendations are very welcome
thank you
