Good Morning. 1 year lurker, first time poster. I'm ready to start my first DIY Sonosub. I've gathered all tools and materials except for driver, port and amp. Tube is 20" diameter X 36" long. Room dimensions are 12' ceilings, 20' long, 18' wide. This open up into 25' wide kitchen. Currently using Sony 540 HTiB, (I know don't hit me)! This was great for the apartment but since we just moved into our new home, I need more bass. I've already played around in LspCAD but wanted a couple opinions before I begin.
1) Tempest or Shiva? In this approx 6cu.ft. alignment, which would yield optimal results?
2) What/which type of port to use? I'm looking for low extension with a mid bass kick, if possible. I've done some research on length vs. diameter on ports but I'm still a bit shaky on this one.
3) I plan on using the PE 250 watt amp. Will this be enough power without resulting in distortion and bottoming out?
Thanks in advance. I look forward to seeing who replies being that I've been reading for a year, I feel like a know a lot of you already!
