Subwoofer 30l possible?

[eilon]

Hey,
I would love to build a bigger subwoofer, but I am stuck to the outside measurement of 33x33x39cm.

Do you have any recommendation for a subwoofer chassis around 30l?

I want to build a Subwoofer which fits into my Ikea Kallax shelf.

Amplifier: X1500H Denon
Front Speaker: BigYellowTaxi MK2
Rear: Teufel Motiv 10

 

[Think]

I advise against that idea as you will get resonances in the Kallax but many 8" and some 10" will do fine in that size box.

You can always modify the shelves to fit in something bigger

I say go for it, my only concern would be vibration knocking stuff off the shelves. If you could figure out a way to go dual opposed that would be good.
An Alpine type r or SBA sb23mfcl45 do well in small enclosures with response into the mid 20hz range.

I've got a 2x4 kallax bookshelf on top of my sub.

I've always wanted to re build the sub to look exactly the same as the Kallax and use book fabric as grill to totally hide it.

Do you mean the SWR-12D2?

I was thinking the 8”.

Friend of mine built (or actually I built it for him) a sub using a peerless xls10 of that size in put in n an Ikea cabinet as well; no vibration issues

The xls10 would be a good option as well.

Sealed small box and a 12" SW driver with some eq from the plate amp will be nice and easy solution. Construction must bew very rigid, extra cross-braces recommended. 2x8" is also possible! 2x10" will suffer from too small air volume.

As driver consider also

If you consider the fact that your BYT has a 25cm/ 10" woofer, a single sub of the size you mention seems questionable.
Do you want to use a high pass for the existing loudspeaker?
This would only make sense, if you cross it really low, like 60 Hz.
Then, two DSP controlled, closed 10" subs, 30l each (!) could take care at the low end.
Maybe have a look at the Mivoc AWM104, two of these with a capable amp, pushed to give 30Hz could work.
Usualy the MiniDSP is mentioned, but I would advice the the "t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini" with a "Behringer KM750" (Fan can be disconnected for home use), which set´s you back about 330 Euro for all hardware.
You can put two subs in the bottom of Kallaks, which gives you another advantage of 3dB from the cones close together, reducing the stroke.
The DSP4x4 is symmetric and works with the symmtric input of the amp, without the usual hum noise problems and can high filter the BYT too.
The result is way better than some plate amp, which has no room in the sub housing anyway.
There are other sub woofer models that fit, too, but the Mivoc is a champion with price/performance ratio.

Visaton TIW 200 XS in CB - end of story.

Have you read what his main speakers are? 25cm Woofer? What do you want with the tiny over priced Visaton? Enjoy how the cone moves in and out with a burning voice coil? Maybe it is enough for your set-up.
Makes no sense - end of story.
