I am looking for build some HT speakers and sub and some separate speakers for the computer (music and games). I have a few questions:
1. What's the BEST frequency for a home theater sub?
2. What's the BEST frequency for a sub for music/games?
I am looking to build the lowest frequency producing sub design. Can anyone help me with that? I have decided it will either me a tempest or 15" Dayton. I have a guide from Adire Audio for a box design using a tempest tuned to 15.8hz requiring 380L box (24x24x44). That's kinda huge and if made from MDF it'll be unmoveable. So I am thinking about moving towards sonotubes since you only need a sonotube and 2 end caps.
Well basically the real question is how low can I go using these two subs? (leaning more towards the 15" Dayton becuase I can't find the tempest for sale anywhere). I want to build one for HT using the best tuning frequency and another for music, since I heard playing music on a low tuned box sounds kinda crappy.
