ssa xcon for house

[///M5 2,833]

but for right now i just want one

Then you have to pick a compromise.

yeah i really think this driver would work just fine in a sealed enclosure compared to what i have now... i'll figure it out

Thatd be a huge compromise for both. Tons of ways of skinning the cat but none can do it all.

I ended up having two subwoofers. One for music, one for movies. 

I use a MiniDSP for processing. 

What round port size diameter would you recommend for the 18 to keep port noise down????.... I'll figure out the length when i choose my tuning frequency. Thanks

What size box, what tuning, and how much power are you going to put to it?

 

Port noise is a lot more noticeable in a home audio environment vs car audio.  You are going to want to make sure your port velocities stay pretty low.

I would model the enclosure to figure a port diameter that would keep port velocity down. I would try to stay below 15 m/s. Flared ports are supposed to allow a higher port velocity without getting turbulent air. My modeling states that I have a max port velocity of 9 m/s and I personally can't notice any kind of port noise or any other behavior that would cause me to think my port area is too small.  

 

I could do this modeling for you if I felt so inclined, as could just about everyone involved in this thread. I would have to know the speaker and the box size and the tuning.

I would definitely keep the icon for music. It just isn't designed for movies.
