ya funny...but can anyone answer my question?

 

[ThomasW]

All subs need EQ.

A 15" IB mounted driver will be superior to a 12" tubesub.

How big is the room?

And yes taking the time to create actual sentences, makes life easier for those trying to read and respond to your post.

The room is 17ft.x 10ft

 

[ThomasW]

The room is really too big for a single 12" tube sub, especially if you want to reach reference levels for HT.

If you're going the IB route I suggest a 18" cube that can hold 4-15's. Start with a pair, then add more later if needed/wanted.

I went the IB route and did as ThomasW suggested. I have 2 Dayton IB's (with room for 2 more) with the 250W plate amp and was surprised at the sound after I hooked it up. It was just so much more than I expected for a room that is 15' x 23'.

I haven't calibrated it yet but I will get to that someday. I've even been toying with the idea of adding the other 2 subs, you can never have too much bass.
