Possibly a slightly misleading title, as I'll actually only consider an all in one active sub, and not a home build...
But anyway, currently I have an all Mission set up, with a little (6" I think) active sub. I mainly only watch things with DTS or DD 5/6.1 - haven't got the hardware for any HD audio formats - and 2ch stuff where the amp outputs 2.1 (as the Sony AVR isn't really hardcore enough to drive enough low end to my front floorstanders, so I need to the sub to fill it out a bit)
Now, I'm looking to upgrade the sub, as although it does it's job, it just doesn't seem to be able to go low enough or rumble enough. It does a good job of explosions, but just doesn't seem low/rumbly enough (although I find it quite accurate for mortar fire, etc - seems to do a pretty damn good job of the beach scene from Saving Private Ryan)
So whats the recommedation - a 10incher? 12? From who? How much? Will it blend in with what I have now?
