The great leap forward! I have just installed an Behringer cross-over and
now want to
build/buy a sub to run off the low channel (variable crossover from 44 Hz
up). I've got
a 500W (genuine rms) amp to drive a sub. I should say that my listening room
is large:
7m x 5m x 2.5m so the power is not over the top. I am using a redundant car
sub as I'm
still in the experimental stage.

Results are quite good but not what I want. It really isn't up to the room
size and is a bit
flabby in its control. I'm not after a 'boom-box' sound, but need to extend
the
power response down to bowed double bass, electric bass guitar and
electronic deep
bass.

I would prefer to build rather than buy. Question is which sub driver to buy
and what
constraints are there on the design of the box. Has anyone got experience or
suggestions?
Is there a recommendable site where I can find box designs or design
suggestions? I've
had a google but its difficult to know which are sheep and goats.

Anyone's ideas, especially negative ones, gratefully received. BTW my first
impressions
of the Behringer CX3400 are very positive. Tonally neutral, very quiet, no
audible
distortion and highly controllable. For those into active speakers this
could be a good
choice. Each device can be used as 2 or 3 way stereo or mono 4 way. Only
possible
drawback for domestic users is that all connectors are XLR.
