Default Need big *** booty bass for a cheap price.

inappropriate image deleted

I use my speakers not for reproduction but for output on a digital organ and bass gtar. I need to build some low end but for cheap. Traditionally organs can go down to 16hz or 8hz.

Garbage hifi speakers, which cost a billion, can't handle even 30hz. I need some big *** booty bass for a cheap price, can you help me in this build. The goal is to feel the bass from the organ or midi distorted bass gtar.

And not blow anything out, so protection is needed for the hifis I allready have too.

Call up Thomas Danley to get a quote for the above, more booty than you or hour house (or stadium) can handle.

Dude? What's going on in here?

If you need bass, you need the speakers. Not booties. LOL

Hi mike,

What's the budget for amp, drivers, and other materials combined, and do you have the tools/skills to build your own boxes?

As a starting point: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=299-284

How many $5 10" woofers can you afford and fit in your "room?" Build a wall of them

Oh... and why not sell all your hifi stuff and buy/build sound reinforcement stuff instead? This might be a good time to consider switching your system to proper PA gear and blending that your "booty" bass project.

there's no real way to get deep bass on the cheap.
a lot of subs offer good bass repro but you would likely need a long throw sub to move alot of air to get what you need.. also a powerful enough amp to drive it.
like mdocod said we need a budget at least to be able to help.
if you got $50. or $500. makes a huge difference

T3 Audio T200-12S4 12" 200 Watt Subwoofer 4 Ohm 269-086

32.22 each when buying 4 or more with over 12mm of Xmax on factory close out.

Buy EIGHT of them (not 1) put them in two boxes of 4 cubic feet each stuffed with poly fill--use 3/4" plywood (or OSB in a pinch) and make sure they are sealed. (Push on one cone and the other 3 cones should move) Put each box on one channel of your 100 watt per channel amp and you should be OK. Put one box in each corner to boost the low end (it will need it)

If they start making weird noises with pipe organ stuff--add more boxes to taste. Make sure that weird noise is not your amp clipping!

If you still want to pump 4Hz with your 100 watt per channel amp, build 4 boxes with 4 woofers each which would give each woofer (all 16 of them) around 12.5 watts each which should keep them alive. You should be able to reach 120+ dB of some sort of bass with that 100 watt amp. 4Hz bass will basically move air around with the cones jumping, Maybe stack two of the boxes on top of each other so your butt will couple to the vibration. It will help (ask Howard Stern)

Just get as many of those $5 woofers I linked to above as you can afford. Give them each 1-2ft^3 sealed box space. Use cheap ~3/4" OSB and 2x4s for box construction. (use 2x4s along inside corners as something to screw the OSB to, and as various wall braces). Fill boxes with polyfill.

Tell me the impedance of the other speakers you have all hooked up and how they are currently wired to you amps and I'll give you some component ideas to use as bass blockers for your mains and treble blockers for the wall o-booty.
