In Reply to: RE: Imo this would be wrong for MAKING dubstep posted by Duke on February 02, 2017 at 12:30:58
I know you don't agree with my what I want my setup to be for listening to & making grimey/grungey music but i'd still like to try & see if it works. I narrowed down what I think I need to 3 tweeters & 6 compact subwoofers. Can I get your professional opinion on which ones I should get??
Here are the tweeters-
Dayton Audio AMTPRO-4 Air Motion Transformer 4 Ohm
Bohlender Graebener Neo10 Planar Transducer
Aurum Cantus G1 Ribbon
& here are the compact subwoofers-
Jamo Sub 800
Niles Audio SW6.5
Cambridge Minx x201
Sunfire Atmos XT
Velodyne MicroVee
PSB SubSeries 125

I'm not trying to tell you what to listen to for your own enjoyment.
What I'm trying to tell you is that, in my opinion, the system you've described is the wrong tool for making recordings for other people to listen to on their systems.
And I really don't have a professional opinion about which wrong tool for making recordings would be best.
So, here is my non-professional opinion, strictly in the spirit of "try it and see if it works", without overspending:
The Dayton Audio tweeter, and the least expensive subwoofer that goes up to at least 200 Hz.
You might also consider the Parts Express 8" subwoofer kit, it's pretty good bang for the buck. But you gotta paint the unfinished MDF enclosure when you're done, because raw MDF is actually not an impenetrable barrier to high pressure air.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
I took your advice & decided to go with the Jamo Sub 800 that goes up to 200 Hz & the Bohlender Graebener Neo10 Planar Transducers which are tweeters with mid-range so my music may actually sound how I want it to when testing it out on regular speakers. Also their gonna be taller than my subwoofer (OLOLAWLULZXD)
It's not too pricey either because it's gonna be under $1000 at just $849.75

"I took your advice"
To be clear, Duke didn't actually advise you to buy these things or to go in this direction with regard to speakers, he merely offered thoughts on which drivers might be the better ones in your misguided speaker design approach. Don't be surprised, nor blame Duke, if you blow out the tweeters.
Your right, I should have given all the credit to SpotcheckBilly12345
So I was correct, you ARE related to the bicycle trailer guy!

"I really don't have a professional opinion about which wrong tool for making recordings would be best."Hahahahaha! - That's excellent!
To the OP: Creating and listening live to a "special effects" work while it is being created and performed is entirely different than recording said work and having it played back on other systems. This is like what some "avant garde" composers started doing many decades ago, such as "prepared piano" or using other traditional musical instruments to produce non-traditional sounds. I was fortunate to study and create such music under the guidance of the late Swiss composer Rainer Boesch, who himself had been a student of Olivier Messiaen and was of the Paris school of musique concrete (look it up).
So, if you want to create some dubstep or grunge music and have it sound a certain way on YOUR system, great. But, if you want to record it and have it played back on OTHER peoples' systems, then it won't sound the same, because their systems will likely be more-or-less "normal" hifi systems. So, if you want your music to sound "grungey" on other systems, you have to have a normal system for recording/monitoring/mixing in order to hear what the music will sound like on other peoples' systems. Comprende?
