Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Since the "pro asylum" went away a few weeks back, I'm stuck asking here...

Oh, okay. So you're not looking to replicate them, or repair them. You just like the bass of those 15 inch speakers.

Honestly, I would recommend listening to some 15" based powered speakers until you hear one you like. Once you factor in speaker drivers, boxes, finishing materials, new bits or tools, primer, paint (or veneer)... You would be surprised on how much you drop when doing a build. I would seriously look for some used 15" based powered speakers.

OR, you could do a build with a 15" and a horn and then use an active crossover to bi-amp them. This gives you tweakability on the fly, where building a passive crossover is much more involved and "iterative testing" is more expensive and more time consuming.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Presto
