Hi all,
I have setup my HT recently with 5.0 speakers. I am now saving for my subwoofer/s. I have been exploring (reading about) various subwoofers upto 80k. Just then I started reading the DIY section, saw various sub builds, I got curious about building my own. I felt even with a less budget I could complete 2 Subs. I had a quick discussion with @elangoas whom I met when looking for my HT options to understand a bit about it. I myself started reading about various DIY across internet. I am starting this thread for understanding the good, bad and ugly of DIY builds. Being a beginner I felt this forum can help me understand and make progress in my build.
I learnt few terms
-sealed(clean, smooth, musical bass),
-ported( low power better output, rumbling? theatrical bass)
Here in the forum I have seen Open Baffle H-frame builds, sealed builds.
Amps required can be
- plate amp
- dedicated external amp.
Drivers required.
Apart from these most technical terms discussed are beyond my knowledge or would require some help understanding.
With my current understanding I am thinking of building a ported subwoofer, not so soon, but once I'm confident enough.
I have been reading about Sono subs(cylinder type) and I feel this would suit me better(again this might change). I don't remember seeing any post on the same.
I don't exactly know where or how to begin. Appreciate any kind of inputs.
