Hi

The software is the easiest one to answer so I will start with that WinIsd free to download here:- http://www.linearteam.dk/default.asp...load=winisdpro

You might be able to help...

Im going for a home theatre sub primarily but will also be listening to music too of all genres.

Pardon me if this is a stupid quesiton but which is most likely to sound better for this purpose..ported or sealed? I want the outcome to be smooth and accurate bass (and a littly punchy too???

Cheers

in the past I have build the sealed xxls12 in a 62 liter enclosure
good with music, but it did not go that low
for movies you get the best results with the neted xxls12
it will go lower in the bass and also a little louder
you can use a plate amp from BK for example the BSBP300

Stupid question but what is neted xxls12?

[asdonk]

neted must be vented as I read it, sorry
so 830847 xxls12

Cheers asdonk for the information...

Will do more reading around this...

Asdonk - any ideas on where i can get the BK BSBP300 from?

Cheapest i found it was 200... i pressume you used this with your sealed enclosure you made?

[asdonk]

at BK Electronics, is the same plate amp as used in the BK Monolith
for the same money you can also use the BSBVP300 with bassboost
