Matching crown XTI with subs? - Page 2

Wow, the Tuba HT looks like an animal. A tad large though. I have a space of 20 ish inches tall 20" deep and anywhere from 4-6' wide. Thanks for the input!

20"x20"x60" (5ft) gives a total volume of 400 Liters. You can do a lot with that. Not optimal for a THT, though. That's something like 36x36x24. A single turn tapped horn could work in that space pretty well.

I have to fit a space that's similar. 16"x16"xWHATEVER to replace some of my records that line the wall.

Since you like loud, I would suggest a pair of 15's and a standard reflex design. Since it's a first project it will also be an easier build than a horn design.

A Crown/McCauley combination would be real nice.

Cheers dude!!!

The McCauley 6242 looks their LF woofer - finding one is a different story

I have built a couple of the sub kits from Parts Express and had very good results.
Kind of a no fuss no muss approach. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty building
from scratch is much more rewarding.
I am a big fan of stereo subs for listening to music. You can try and try until the sun goes dark but you will never truly mate a mono sub to a pair of stereo sats.

They pop up on eBay every now and again.

I disagree. Without a good active crossover, yes it can be a challange. With a decent crossover it's no big deal.

How do the Exodus drivers compare to the SS? The Tempest or Maelstrom? The price is nice
