Hello,
I’m new to this forum but I’ve dabbled in car/home audio for a while. My home system is as follows:
· Onkyo M501 amp
· Onkyo receiver
· Vector Research satellite array
· Sony big screen / DVD player
My interests are:
· Rock, grunge, pop, oldies
· Home theater
My budget-minded goals in order are as follows:
· Construct a subwoofer to supplement music and video
· Add a A/V surround sound receiver (considerable latter)
My question regards the subwoofer. I need to settle on a location then select what subwoofer amplifier to purchase. Please view these possible location pictures:
http://members.cts.com/funtv/c/core/sub/sub1.jpg - Location just left of TV under vase with driver firing left or right but I don’t like the idea of aiming right towards the TV (6.4 cubic ft)
http://members.cts.com/funtv/c/core/sub/sub2.jpg - Location under A/V rack with driver firing right (2.6 cubic ft)
http://members.cts.com/funtv/c/core/sub/sub3.jpg - Location above TV with driver firing up
Note that the wife will not allow me install a speaker grill that can be see on the front wall on the entertainment center, only to the sides.
I plan on constructing a custom sealed box that will fit in one of these cavities and simply installing a grill on the drywall directly if front of the driver.
Any thought on the best location/plan?
I am entertaining the thought of purchasing a PE 250W at 4 ohms plate amp (current on sale for $118) from PE along with either the 12” Dayton titanic MK II or the 12” Shiva MK III from acoustic-visions ($125 shipped). I’m willing to spend 300-$400 for components and I’m open to suggestions.
Any thoughts on the amp or the sub?
Thanks in advance.
