Because they seem to be easy to build mostly. All electronic stuff I've built so far has been built on experimetal boards. Are there any easy and cheap ways to make a proper circuitboard? If there is building an amp with transistors might not be so hard at all. And then it's the building something and then connecting it to 220v that's quite scary...
Build a new box with two drivers on opposite sides so that they both go in and out of the box at the same time. By doing so, they each counteract the force of the other on the cabinet, transmitting very little vibration to the floor. I have a Mirage bipolar sub that works like this in my NYC apartment- if I place my hand on the cabinet on a bass heavy track I can barely feel any vibration at all.
I've put some softish foamlike feet under the sub and atleast now it doesn't move or make any extra noise. But the feet are a bit too soft so it vibrates a litte when playing loud and really low. But that's not the problem anymore, now my amp is clipping before the sub makes extra noise from moving 🙄
And for some reason the amp play louder and sound better when it's not bridged. I'm waiting for the 10" xls I bought to be delivered so I revired and reorganiced cables and such and then switched from bridged to normal use. The 12" I got for only 40 euros that the seller wrote was probably broken works just fine as I thought. It's just that xls subs need steep and low crossing to work. 18db/oct at 100 hz isn't enough for my 10" atleast. It has some weird sound that sounds a little like the voicecoil hitting the backplate. Luckily it's not, hehe.
Just 1 10" xls seems to be able to play deep and somewhat loud in a small sealed box. So I'm pretty sure 2 will be quite enough in my small livingroom. Guess I'll just have to put that 12" away or sell it for triple the price I bought it for
