In Reply to: Well, I built my first pair of folded corner horns in 1970, posted by madisonears on April 14, 2007 at 15:47:40:
to diy but have built three subs. Two sealed subs using the RS 15" Dayton woofers for my stereo. Bass is truly outstanding and is a part of music I've always loved. The cost of the subs is cheap considering the quality of bass I have. With a Q of 6.5 and F3 of 30hz I know I have all the bass I could want for music with ease.I did however build a sub tuned to 16hz using two SS RL-P 15's in a huge box with a 30" long 8" port! The low bass in some movies is astounding.
In both the high quality subs and the Ht sub I built the cost to performance ratio is excellent to outstanding. It's actually not that difficult to build wood boxes if you have some woodworking skills and tools.
The design part is important though. You don't want to just buy a driver and put it in a randomly chosen sealed or ported box. Using Winisd or Unibox helps alot. Also talking to the guys at HTguide.com can help immensely.
Madisound and Partsexpress both have forums to help newbies and the help is wonderful. Those people helped me realize something I'd been wanting to do for a long time. I won't ever buy another sub now that I can design and build a very high quality sub for less money.
