Adding Sub to the BIB

[MKader17 332]

School is starting and I am looking to add a Sub to my BIB's.

For amp duty I'm probably going with a Dayton plate amp (180 @ 8ohm and 240 @ 4ohm)

Sub duty is another question... I have 2 options for the sub box.

Option 1 - Small sealed under the corner table. I would guesstimate ~1.5 cubes net

Option 2 - Shallow wide ported enclosure. Can pull out the couch little bit and create quite a bit of space behind it because of the way the wall and couch is designed. Don't have any good measurements but I think 4 cubes would not be a problem, and box can be as wide as a couch.

I'm really leaning toward option 1 at the moment. I don't watch many movies so commanding low low end isn't much of a problem. A sealed box would be easy to carry in and fit universally. Currently I have a MAW-10 I was planning on putting in my truck but I could use it for this and buy a SD-1 V2 from Sundown for the truck, but the MAW could only run 8 ohm so it would be limited to 180 watts. This would make me really be NeonRider's copy cat , so if you have any input it Neon would be greatly appreciated.

So whatcha think?

Sealed. No doubt about it.

Sweet. You think the MAW-10 will do fine on 180 Watts in a small room or should I look for another driver?

I guess I need to start designing a box

[JimJ 11]

I think so. The 12's did very well on low power.

What does BIB stand for? I see it in like every thread and it pisses me off every time because I don't know.

I'd give you a link to the original design article by Terry Cain, but the fullrangedriver.com site seems to be down

Shit, I'm a noob...oh well, that's what happens when I hardly use the mod functions in here...
