Saw a car on the way to work this morning that had its rear suspension so broken that the rear bumper was almost dragging on the ground & the wheel was bouncing up & down going down smooth pavement.

What do you guys think....

18" fi Q

or SDX 15.

it would be sealed. I have more than enough power for either with my saz1500....

I would have to really watch the gains with the sdx however.

I tend to steer away from XBL2.

Details ?

There are 2 SD-1 12"ers left, but that would then be in a sealed setup in her boat. Hmm, $80 isn't a lot of dough to try them.

I think they have a high Qts.

Personal preference and I guess some what comes with it. SSA will not have an XBL2 driver.

tempted by a pair of E8's for my boat though

Was just going to mention those.

Paint is on the entertainment center, flat black. It is going to look Nice.

How about just an under-hung, large excursion driver, something rather efficient like a pro-audio driver?

Large excursion PA driver???

Large excursion PA driver???

I hope it fits in a small box

I said like a PA driver, not build me a PA driver... I'm an excursion fan. I wanted efficiency like a PA driver, it would be for a larger box, like 10 cubes for an 18" would be fine.

So you want a high efficiency, high excursion subwoofer??

High efficiency for excursion yes. It would be for home so box size really isn't an issue. I don't expect it to be as efficient as a PA driver, I was just looking for something that could move quite a bit without requiring a city blocks worth of power to move it.

Unless I was in a home that I owned with a crap ton of room I'd rather have a few big arse rack amps for the substage then have something the size of a Imp. Horn that I had to move around...

Let's put it this way, it would be more of a permanent room fixture, I have over 400sq feet of floor space and could easily fit a 30 cube box in my room without even noticing the missing space.

Lots of excursion isn't needed.

Build something like a Pass El-Pipe O and you won't be complaining the drivers don't have a lot of linear travel

Sub only Imperial Horn.

'Nuff said.

Jim: Does anyone in the US sell custom turned horns?

What would a good home audio budget be...

Would 2500$ be enough for amps, a processor, etc... I don't really know much about home audio. I don't mind building my own stuff, I don't even mind building my own amps etc. I just figured if I am considering going to school for acoustical engineering I could get my hands wet with some home audio.

Are you want a 2ch setup or what?

2500 will get you some nice equipment.

2 channel, I would like to be able to cover the audible frequency plus some, well. So 12hz-24kz.

I will be building the room, my only major limitation is my low ceilings (6 feet).

So do you want to DIY the cabinets, and do you want 2-way, 3-way, full range (best way to go...), use active or passive?

Any hints you can give us as to what type of stuff you like the sound of or what?
