Hi,
I have been looking at some options for building a new subwoofer. It would be mixed use (video and music) with a strong preference toward music quality vs video. My room is 12x24 and I have a pair of efficient towers (92dB) that play in to the mid 30Hz range.
A small enclosure would be required. I'm open to any suggestions but the STW-350F looks like s good option. Anyone build one yet?
I also looked at the Dayton Ultimax 15" but the enclosures were larger. The Moral Ticw 1258ft is interesting but it doesn't seem to appear on any forums. With some eq and room gain the CSS SDX12 XBL2 in a 1cuft box looks like a good option too.
Open to feedback or suggestions!
Cheers

If small size is a major requirement, it will be hard to beat the output vs distortion ratio of the SDX12. It's amazing what it can do in 1 cu ft.
Second on the sdx12, that peerless may have a smidge more max output but simply doesn't live up to the claims. Very long thread over at avs and data-bass was able to do a free air test on it and those results are posted. If you've got a dump truck full of power, that peerless will take it
I did see on the SDX site they have the SDX12 with and without the passive radiators in a larger but still ok sized enclosure. Be curious to know how different they sound? Anyone compare the two designs?
Typical comparison between a sealed and ported box. Passive radiators likely used due to the size of the ports required.
If you would just dsp the low end of the sealed enclosure, probably better to build ported from the start.
