THINKING OF GETTING:
I am thinking about getting a dayton tit 15" and the dayton 1000rms amp to go with it for home theater use.
LARGE ROOM:
This will be in a large room 13' across and about 40' long. The room is split in the middle with a half wall divider. This wall does not seal off the room. It only goes half way up to the ceiling and does not go all the way across the room. I'm not sure if this will help make the room smaller to the sub or not.
QUESTIONS:
I am wondering:
a. What size box i should build?
b. What frequency i should tune the box to?
This sub will be 90% home theater and 10% music.
I am a little worried that the amp may end up blowing the sub as the sub is rated at 800rms and the amp at 1000rms.
Tthe sub will be in a down firing position. Am i correct is assuming this could cause the sub to bottom out or blow easier because of the cone sag in this configuration?
So how easy / likely will it be to blow the sub? What would be a suitable box and tunning frequency that might limit my chances of blowing the sub and also give really low bass at high levels?
I already have a dayton tit 15" sub with a dayton 500 rms amp powering it. It is in a 5cuft box tunned fairly high at about 23hz. This sub does not get loud enough for my liking in this room. It is for this reason i have decided to go with the bigger amp. Should i expect better bass for the HT with more power bigger box and lower tuning frequency?
