My first post on the forums but i've been browsing frequently and decided to try and get advice from you guys.
I have a little bedroom setup at uni (for music, not movies) with 2 100W RMS floorstanders (completely forgot the model and im not up there at the moment). Theyre 3-way with a 12" bass driver and give very good mid range but arn't cutting it for low frequencies.
I seem to remember the graph on them shows the level seriously dropping at around 60hz.
Anyway ive been looking for an active sub for a while to go with this, especially since ill be moving into a much bigger room next year.
My budget isnt much being a student .. roughly £200-300
I wondered whether it is worth me building it for this price range? what drivers would you advise?
As i said it will be quite a big room so after having a little look into designs (Audio Innovation - by Dan Marx www.danmarx.org) i decided i should probably go for a bass reflex design..?
Two problems are that i wouldn't be amazing at building the box, (my brother has been doing a carpentry course for a while now thou) and i have no idea about calculating the size of the box/port so need help in this respect!
Thanks,
Jake
