I have a pair of Thiel CS3.5's that are currently taken apart for recapping of the crossovers and a mid driver rebuild. The Thiels (when working properly) are lovely speakers but are not great sub 80Hz or so. I listen to a good bit of electronic/popular music (no sneering please
)that reaches into the lower registers and would like to add a subwoofer or subwoofers to compliment my Thiels. I don't beat on my speakers in terms of volume but would like bass with impact and clarity at the lower end. This is purely for music so quality is more important than absolute volume or low end. I'm on a budget (as in the less money the better) and was wondering what's possible with a DIY. I've been playing with unibox and understand the basics of the different box designs and speaker parameters, but I'm really not sure why kind of F3's I should be looking for. I realize that most of the 20Hz stuff is typically for movies, but again, I do listen to pop music that gets pretty low (The XX - Crystallized is a good example) What should I be looking for in a driver? Cabinet dimensions are not critical. I could build a large cabinet if that's what's required. I'm seeking counsel from those of you much more experienced than I am.
Thanks!
Thanks!
