Hi,
I've been looking to upgrade my BK XLS300 sub and I was pretty much decided on a Monolith as I wanted a ported sub similar to my SVS PB10-NSD but seeing this diy forum I thought I'd have a poke around as I always fancy a little project. Many years ago I had a go at making a few enclosures that were used as passive subs, nothing special but they were ok.
Anyway, I think I'd like to give it a go, I don't want to spend loads of money on it as I want to see what it turns out like and by that I mean the enclosure finish I want to try an attempt a gloss black finish over the mdf. So as this will be a relatively low cost in comparison to some of the monsters I've seen on here I'd like to know whether I can build an enclosure that I can upgrade as and when (does it even make sense to do that)?
My plan would be to start with something like an Audiobahn AW150T and an iNuke1000, I believe I read here that a sealed enclosure for this driver should be around 150l but I've read so many threads I may be wrong. Would this amp and driver be ok to run together?
I've also downloaded winISD, loaded the drivers parameters and put in the box volume, the sealed optimum size its suggesting is about 59 x 91 x 37 (WxHxD) which seems quite large, certainly the height, I guess I can juggle these around to make it less tall? or maybe I've got my figures wrong somewhere which is quite possible.
I guess my last question is really how would a sub with this driver and amp compare to a monolith?
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marvin.
