Hello!

Hello everyone,

I'm a beginner enthusiast from France, just getting started in the world of DIY subwoofer building for now (maybe more in the future). I appreciate all the great builds and shared knowledge on this forum!

A bit about me:
  • Totally new to DIY audio— my background is primarily in music production and mixing/mastering at an amateur level.
  • I’m focused solely on building my first subwoofer—for music and my home studio use
  • I’m looking for recommendations on drivers, enclosure types (sealed vs ported), amps, and a bit of hand‑holding through the basics etc.
So far, here’s what I’m thinking:
  1. Start simple with a proven design (like a small sealed box).
  2. Choose a budget-friendly driver (around 8″–10″).
  3. Pair it with a plate amplifier for simplicity.
  4. Learn the basics: cabinet building, sealing, wiring.
Best regards,
