Sub project with Volt R3853

[TooManyHobbies]

Well first things first I've got the Volt driver and now looking for the amp to drive so far I've looked at
http://www.bkelec.com/
site and the
http://www.bkelec.com/Diy/mf450.html
takes my fancy as a suitable amp for it, I'm not sure if I will add the
http://www.bkelec.com/Diy/sbp.htm
or drive it direct from the procesor or should I take the easy route and fit
http://www.bkelec.com/Diy/bsb300.htm

or does anyone else have another solution?

I'm also looking for some input on the design for the box too.

All input welcome.

Hi There

If you are going to use a signal direct from your proccesor then a slave amp like the MF450 or MF300 would be ideal, bear in mind though that the MF450 has a fan that is on all the time which will be heard during quite periods.

I would personaly go for a completed panel (Not because I work for BK), as this is a far easier and prettier way of making what would eventualy end up looking like a professional piece of kit.

As for cabinet designs try Win Isd for some ideas, it can be found here http://www.linearteam.dk/default.asp...load=winisdpro if you do use this program it may be of interest to note that the Volt website give 0.011kg (11g!!!) as the Mms I think this is a mistake and should be more like 0.11kg (110g)

Take a look over at http://www.diysubwoofers.org lots of differnt types of subs and links. This looks interesting, but it's HUGE and requires 2 drivers really http://www.decware.com/whornok.htm however I have seen signle horn version subs as well.
