Hey guys....
I want to keep this thread for all my future Subwoofer builds. The ultimate goal is to build a sub with the following features.
1. Obviously, should sound great (in a general sense)
2. Should be as compact as possible.
3. Should be built without spending huge money.
Some of you might know that I built the following subs till date.
1. 12" ported sub
2. 15" dipole sub
3. 10" ported
4. 10" sealed
The first one was built last year, and was designed by our FM ANIKET. Its working great for the price and very happy with it.
15" dipole: I couldn't make it a success yet. I suspect either the driver could be faulty or the placement could be wrong. The box is a bit bigger to do the subwoofer crawl easily. Need to work on it further. Our FM Yogibear is helping me with this.
10" ported & sealed are built with the same driver. Theoritically, this driver is more suitable for ported box, as per it's TS parameters. Same reflected in the performance as well.
Since im already using 12" sub, the 10" didn't surprise me much.
However, none of my builds till date could compete with "so called" highend branded subs, but they are great @ the price.
So I have to raise the bar keep building better sub. As a one time investment, I can buy a good branded sub, and enjoy. But I want to enjoy diy.
I may try to improve my existing designs, try a few more new drivers, try few more different designs etc. And most importantly, il keep learning. So this could be a long-term activity, il keep posting my trails.
Seniors can teach me with their suggestions, and others can also learn.
Regards,
Naveen
