That much polyfil has got to be killing your bass response, no?

You'd be surprised...

These things have great bass... I am sure they'd have even more if I took them out of my room, being that I have a killer dip at like 90-80hz

Man, you did stuff the F out of them.

I was thinking about half that, loose, but full - not crammed.

Cheers,

Looking at this post and at your website makes me think:
Do you dislike tweeters? All your designs seem to use full range drivers.
I wonder how the Black Labs would sound with Focal woofers (or another quality brand) and Linaeum tweeters?

In high school I built a design out of The Radio Shack speaker building book. It had two enclosures in one and two ports.

Naw Sid, the 2 driver SVS models are that size. Check the DIY subwoofer forums and they'll have some that crap bigger things that that.


None the less, impressive for a first shot. I know I'm going to regret this, but do you have pics of your whole rig as it stands now, or at least a list/explanation of what you are trying to do?

The reason I am making all Full Range designs is crossovers cost money, and are more exstensive when it comes to research...etc etc etc

And I am on a limited time frame, infact I am out of shop in like 5 days... lol

Right now I am on my last project, probally...

Right now, my system is pretty much the same. I have 'tucked' the black labs away in the corner for another system, a different day...

The original computer speakers, the CompuS (refer to website) - I may be sending to a friend in Kansas to use...

I plan on using the Quardo (refer to website) for my computer system, along with the Compu Subwoofer...

I then plan to redo the Pioneers for my Mom to use in the den...

And then I plan to get a pair of Def Tech DR 7 for the main system as a secondary pair of mains...

Basically, I am trying to get my system finished, have enough speakers, that if I get tired of one sound, I can just switch them out instead of upgrading constantly... I'm tired of upgrading...lol

Thats bout it...

OH yeah, I know that the subwoofer isnt LARGE in that aspect, but the fact is, it was built for a computer system, therefore it is classified as a computer subwoofer - Most computer subwoofers are like 8x8x8 max! LOL! But, I have seen a gigantic subwoofer by Altec Lansing I think...thing was like 2 feet all but only 8" wide or so
