Hi diyaudio,
I finally have my hobby woodworking workshop fully equipped ad want to start building some speakers. First thing I'd like to build is a sub for HT and small/moderately loud parties. I was thinking to begin with a simple, high power BR sub. My woodworking skills aren't good enough to build horn cabs yet.
I've built a test sub with a Eminence kappalite 3012LF, it sounds very nice but I need something louder and with more low end. 3012LF was bought to build a fearful bass guitar cab after all.
so I need suggestions for driver, was thinking about 15" as 18" will be to big for my living room and to heavy to move.
As for a driver, I'm not budget limited. Can get Faital pro, Beyma, B&C and other European made drivers at very good prices, US made tend to be relatively expensive due to import taxes but I'm not excluding anything.
As for tuning, I wouldn't go to low too low as I will need spl for parties, but good response to 30-35Hz would be nice.
Was thinking about Faital 15HP1060, any comments or other suggestions?
thanks

thanks for suggestions
I have one question: Do this, "super heavy weight category" PA subs, like the mentioned NSW, BC SD115, or Faital XL, work equally good on low volumes too? I don't listen music or watch movies too loud so I'm little worried that they will sound dull on low volumes.
thanks
