Hi all, yes I know, another advise and build thread I’d looked at doing this before, but am now in a position to do it! I’d actually been originally looking at adding another monolith + and leave it there. I do keep an eye out in the diy section and am very curious as to what going this avenue can give you.
I’ll add some basis to start with.
Room is practically a square so 14 by 13 ft.
Use is 99% movies.
Space, reasonably compact box
I like the bass the mono gives me, though as is usual with peeps, you want more. Yes it’s ported, but want to keep things simple and go sealed.
I’ve modeled in Winisd a sealed boxed 20 inch cubed, giving roughly 120 litres, adding filler gives a .75 qtc from memory, with the driver being an ultimax 15. Btw symmetrical is better so this will be a dual build.
Dsp will be handled by a minidsp ( future purchase )
So that’s a little background, drivers. The Dayton’s seem to be very popular, but are there better? Max budget for a driver is £300. Less is better
Order is in with Gordy, though I need to confirm if there are any amendments to box size, so do have an option to change driver and box size for a day or so.
Power, I have two ep2500’s for that duty, so can bridge each one for that.
So, what do you all think? Hopefully covered all bases.
Add a 2nd mono + or go diy? I don’t listen at reference levels, but like a decent level. The room is a bat cave, so two black boxes would fit in well, though not as good as the ‘furniture’ piece the bk subs are.
Any help would be great
Thanks
