    Subwoofer enclosure for two 12" subs 4th order with the port in an isobaric load?

    Recommendation for front firing subwoofer

    I am considering putting a front firing subwoofer *inside* of a media cabinet, paired with bookshelf speakers. I know... it would be better to place the sub in the room, in a corner or near a wall. But... the decision is not only mine. Esthetics are a consideration. (Even so, feel free to tell...

    Hello fellow Audiophiles!, I'm new to this forum. I live in a 10x10 room with a 3x3 window and two doors parallel to 2 sides. I want to know which is the best spot to place my Subwoofer as I can't have the full effect of my subs. I use a 2.1 Audio setup. The amplifier is a custom built one, and...

    Genelec with external subwoofer

    Hi All, I own a pair of Genelec 8350a, and was thinking of adding a subwoofer. The Genelec subs are quite expensive, and frankly not very attractive in a living room. I connect the genelecs digitally, using a source with AES-EBU signal to speaker A, which then has a digital-thru connection to...

    I built a sub - the Overdrive10

    Over a year ago I posted here that was searching for a design for a DIY sub. There were several great suggestions, but I ended up going with the Overdrive10 designed by @Wolf. It's a bandpass design with a 10-inch Dayton driver and a passive radiator. I bought the hardware a year ago and finally...

    [Los Angeles] FS: Monoprice Monolith 13in THX

    It took me years to search and shop for a perfect sub for my home theater. This Monolith 13 THX is insane, the bass output is hard to describe, but I did not follow my own research in the need for at least 2 subs for even bass in a room. This sub is just too big for a multi-purpose living room...

    Monolith 13" vs Hsu 15"?

    Thoughts on how these two ported subs stack up against each other? After factoring in shipping and extended warranty from Hsu, the price of these two subs is almost the same--especially if Monoprice has any kind of sale, which apparently is common whereas Hsu never does. Curious what you guys...

    How to do high level input right with a sub.

    I have the KEF LS50 metas and a KEF KC62 sub. I have noted the preference by some for high level sub input for the best performance - especially in music. I use a good DAC for the source and only play 2 channel music from Roon or JRiver. My Marantz is 11 channel Atmos capable and is...

    Hey all, I've been reading more and more about speaker design since I built my first set and I have an idea I'd hope to be able to execute in a few years. The 4" Tang Band midbass drivers I have on my desk are impressing the hell out of me with their low end. Tang Band clearly knows how to...

    I've Been Deceived!

    Honestly, just venting a bit. I figured, that at the least, a bunch of audiophiles would be able to commiserate. I bought a Rythmik Audio LV12 off ebay, based on the review here of the similar L12 - the V stands for vented. The ad said, that it had "Great Sound" and was in used condition, but...
