I'm (quite possibly) in the market for a 'decent' sub** and I'm all at
sea....

I've auditioned a Mission which wasn't too peachy and have been offered a
go at some nicely veneered but ludicrously-priced REL 'minicubes'
(Quake?) - with tiny drivers that ain't even gonna beat my main speakers
('10 inch' bass drivers). So, I'm wondering about throwing one together
myself - anyone got a good word for the IPL SW2 and SW3 Sub kits?

The price looks about what I had in mind and they do look appealing. (2
coats of black emulsion paint finish, if I can't veneer 'em nicely......
:-)

Or.....

What about one of these.....

.... and rip the innards out if it's crap (likely) and replace them with
'better' components - too wacky??

I'd be interested to hear people's views on this. I've looked into getting
one of these:

imported (the UK distributor can't, and if he could, £700) - they seem well
reviewed - but Adire don't seem too keen on replying to emails.

To lose directionality, it needs to work below 60hz - I think - so that's
one of the things I'm thinking about.

Rest assured Keith, if it happens you can have a blast :-).
