I'm looking for a good Bang for the Buck Sub - Click HERE for Original Thread

I'm about to move into an appartment and I'll need a little more low end than I have in my room I think. I already have a pair of older towers (not sure what brand) with a 12" woofer and 10" PR in each one. These are good for movies and the like, but for party music they're a bit lacking. I'm looking at grabbing a single 12 or 15 that I can amp off one of Parts Express's plate amps and stick in a non-intrusive box. The average home subwoofer enclosure would be fine, maybe a little bigger. I dont' want to do any complex designs. I may port it, but I'll probably run with a sealed enclosure. I'm also thinking on a college budget here. Try to keep it cheap, but not poor quality. What do you suggest?

thanks!

I'm guessing that is the cost of the plans right?

I may consider that, but I don't want to have something that's complicated to build. My wood working tools are limited, so complicated angles and the like will be a bit difficult. How hard is that thing to build?

Do you have a skil saw and/or a router?

the tempest,,, aaahhh 150 bucks, and 90 watts will make it hit 145 db at 30 hertz in sealed box in a car,,,,

this sub will blow everyone in your party away and you wont need a big amp to do it,, ported will give you extreme output, but sealed is nice,,,,

thanks, jaden

I have an old skill saw in the garage and I use my Dremel Advantage as a router all the time. I have the attachment for it and all. I'm really not the best with wood, so I don't want to have to build something too complicated. I've always felt more comfortable working with fiberglass (which I still may do for this little project)

I completly forgot about the tempest. It's said to be one hell of a sub,but I haven't heard it. Are there any cheaper subs that will compare?

you might need a little more than 90 watts to hit 145...
