Hello
I'm planning to build a subwoofer consisting of Peerless 12" XLS driver and Peerless 12" passive radiator. These will be placed in ~40litre box. Now I'm not sure about some things and I hope you guys could clear them out for me. Firstly are drivers meant for cars any good for home systems? That 4ohm nominal impedance would be great since I'm also building the amplifier myself. Since this is my first DIY audio project I'll probably start with easier amp (gainclone PA100 with LM3886 chips) but I need some facts will this be powerfull enough for driving this subwoofer at 8ohm load or should I buy the car version instead.. or go for bigger amp?
As for the amp, things I'm looking for are regulated psu, adjustable low-pass filter (I'll probably try Elliot's '
Eight Band Sub-Woofer Graphic Equaliser'), a subsonic filter, driver protection and volume control but more about this later. Have to decide the amp first
Thanks for your time and sorry about my messy english. Still learning
