DIY subwoofer building tutorial

PRIVATEpastry · Oct 12, 2006

I just finished building my enclosure for my 10" Dayton DVC and I don't really know how to get it so that the computer recognizes it. I have a SB Live! sound card, and I plugged the 3.5mm -> RCA cord into the black colored output on the card. Can anyone walk me through this? Thanks in advance.

Im not to sure, I normaly just run a stereo out into my Stereo Amp then run the speaker wires to the sub then from the sub to the speakers.
This is the way I like to run it

Thanks, denz, I got it all figured out. I just went back to integrated sound, it'll work for now.

Excellent thread, Ryan. In addition, a couple of forums I suggest going to specifically for DIY audio are Home Theater Talk and CarStereos. Both are spectacular communities with very knowledgable members. Cheers :beer:

Hey guys. I just logged back in to see whats going on and was a bit embarrassed to find all my photos had gone to broken links. I'm working to restore everything the best i can using Picasas so they will stay up now.

Thanks,
Ryan

Can this thread be resurrected to the point where we can see the pictures again?

Ryan T · Dec 12, 2013

Ok guys, this is updated yet again. I had to recreate all the screen shots from winISD but this is on it's own flickr stream so hopefully nothing will happen to them this time!

Ryan T lives!

Thanks for visiting and fixing the pictures.

Ryan T · Dec 12, 2013

haha, longtime no see.. It's definitely been a LONG time since I've been on here. I took a very long break from just about all my hobbies and just started picking back into audio over the past year. Think i'll be staying for good this time

Cool. I went the pre-built route for my home stereo, because I couldn't find any kits that could compete with what I got *cough* Legacy Focus SE with dual AMT tweeters *cough*.
