Hi everyone!
I'm a regular reader, and very infrequent poster here at diyaudio.
I've been contemplating a new sub setup for my main room, as my old subwoofer is doing duty on the pc these days.
I've been agonizing over the different driver choices in Australia and weighing up my options, simming things to death.
As it turns out, I can get a pioneer car sub at a good price. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/premier/product/specs/0,,2076_58531033_35834,00.html
This driver is not aimed at SPL comps, rather it's supposedly more for high quality sound, which I hope means it wont suck as a music/home theatre driver!
T/S Params are in the owner manual: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/p...t_11221/306542245TSW12PRSApplicationNotes.pdf
But basically
Fs 24 Hz
Qts 0.39
Qms 9.0
Qes 0.41
Xmax 13.5mm
Vas 93L
Mms 135g
Sd 458cm^2
My plan is to use four drivers, in two back to back pairs, one each side of the room.
Probably around 80-100 litres a box, sealed. Linkwitz transformed down to low to mid 20hz, aiming for a 0.65 Q rolloff.
I'm hoping room gain will get me down a little lower.
What I'm want out of this system is nice, tight, clean bass. I don't need to tear down the walls, but I do want pretty decent LFE for movies.
Use will be around 60% music, 40% movies.
Still deciding on different options of amps and maybe switchable eq curves for movies vs music.
So I guess what I'm after is a sanity check lol!.
Anyone have any opinions on this driver? I found some reviews with google that seemed positive, but only in a car environment.
Anyone used it in a home environment?
Do the other aspects of my plan seem WAAAY off?
I'm pretty decided on the basic plan, it's mainly the driver choice I'm a little wary of I suppose.
I realise that there are going to be better drivers around, but the price on this is going to be hard to argue with...
Please give me your thoughts, I have a nice thick skin
