2 x 15 D.I.Y subs

[Trophy hunter]

That's what they should look like

What drivers to go for and amp. Appreciate any input
Thanks

I know I bought them painted but i think i will paint them the same color as my speakers, and that will be black magic pearl.

I have SI15 drivers in my two powered by an Inuke 6000

Works for me

Have you considered how you are going to setup 2 subs? Do you have a mic for example?

 

[MemX]

What's the budget you're working to?

Assuming you're looking for a separate amp, will it be in-room, in-cabinet or in another room?

If you wanted to go all out then look at 2 fi sp415's dual 1ohm but then you will need 2x cv5000's to power them at 5000wrms should give them plenty of headroom!! Giving you more output than a usc18.

I was thinking 1 cv5000 with fi Q drivers and antimode cinema. Or Behringer-NU6000DSP-Inuke-Amplifier with si ht drivers and antimode cinema.

No mike, i have never used REW but willing to give it a try

It will be in the same room but I can hide it, budget will be around £1400

if you went fi q then an nu6000 would be enough, but bear in mind they have a little more output then the si but not as clean sounding.

 

[scottthehat]

si ht 15 or the new ae, or old ae, or the tc sound lms-15.

amps cv2800/5000 or inuke 6000/dsp

have you used the rew room sim? it would be an interesting starting point to compare against 1 sub.

Thanks

Minimally a known SPL meter (ie has a calibration file, typically means the rs meter) and a soundcard with a line in.

Next step up would be to a USB mic, i.e. the minidsp umik-1.

Next step up would be a phantom powered mic and pre amp (eg Dayton audio emm-6).

Personally I prefer the first or last option for multi sub setup but plenty of people manage fine with the USB option.

To use the room sim takes no effort. You just plug the numbers in and move the positions around to match your room.

I've got an SPL meter, what sound card do you recommend

I think the behringer uca202 is meant to be a solid cheap option (£20-25). I have never used it though.

Just the RadioShack spl meter, I also have an anthem usb mic but for what you need the spl meter will be fine

So as I radio shack meter I just need a sound card. And some sort of lead.

iv'e run the room sim, tell me if it is ok or not

The room is better with 2 subs
