I have to take my current old trusty good sounding Audio Source SA-50 (8" FF) sub, and move from my family room setup to my home office room to use with my PC speakers (nearfield uFonken). Now my family room will be left without a sub, and instead of purchasing one, as I had done with the SA-50 or the HSU in my HT room, I want a DIY project.
I want a sub that can go really low, high teens Hz low. But, I don't want too large of an enclosure. I have run enclosure volume calculators (WinISD and others) for different affordable sub and woofer drivers, but the enclosures (ported) are big.
Is there an affordable enclosure/driver combination that is compact and can play in the +/- 18 Hz range? If possible 10", but if not possible then 12" driver. My family room is an odd configuration, part of an open plan, and a pain in the neck to accommodate large enclosures. A "coffee table" or "ottoman" can be an option.
Note: By affordable I mean no more than $150.00, but it will be better if much less expensive.
