Hey guys:
What's your opinion on this 5.1 home theatre layout?
5 x TangBand TB-871S Drivers (0.2 cu. ft. box with 1.1" dia. 1.375" long port)
1 x Lightning Audio P2-10-4 Driver (4.5 cu. ft. box with an unknown port [yet])
1 x Parts Express 70W Amplifier (to power the subwoofer)
1 x Panasonic XR-50S 6.1 Dolby & DTS Receiver
The 5 mains'll be @ about 65 dB SPL, and the sub'll run about 5 dB hot.
Good?

Hey somody,
Are you planning to watch all sleepy movies? Or listen to the 5.1 setup while you are sleeping?

Bit of a massive sub box compared to the rest of the system. Not the way I'd do it, but it's one way to use a cheap woofer and get good efficiency hence use a small amp for the sub, keeping cost down.
I think he means reference level at 65dB i.e. 10dB cool to avoid overdriving the system. Sounds reasonable.
Change the sub to a MCM 50-6266. It's a new buyout 150 watt amp for only $49 USD. Use it with a low Qts sub in a smaller sealed enclosure to compliment the 5db of boost it has built in.

An Adire Shiva or Peerless XLS (10 or 12) would be an excellent sub to pair up with this, and have deep bass and a very small enclosure.
For other options, the Hi-Vi B3S or Aura NS3-193 are also great drivers, and maybe better than the tangband.
The Panasonic receiver is an excellent choice. Digital amps of that style are the future - Powerful, small, efficient, inexpensive, and great sound.

well im giving him the driver and it models decently with a 25hz tune in that box. also it wont take much more than 100 watts, with 100 watts he can bottom it.
Really this is completely suited for my experience. This is my first DIY project and it is perfect for what I plan to do with it. Since i'm using a 70 watt amp, the sub is perfect. The W3-871s are actually a great driver for their price. Full-range 87dB/W/m and only $15 a piece.
