Hey guys for some of you such as
@lovinthehd who have spoken about building they're own subs. I'm starting to get curious about doing this. The reason for this is I want to go up too quad subs. Next year or the year after. I have 2 SVS PB 4000's. The next best place for subs is behind my couches.
I like SVS cylinder designs but the PC 4000 is too Damn tall. But I've been digging and from what I can tell so far a cylinder sub is the easiest to build.
So what I'm asking is is it possible to build 2 cylinder model subs. That would match if not better my PB 4000's performance for $2000 for each one as my budget. If I can go lower on budget great. But up to $2000 for each one would be good as well.
Some things to consider. I'm not concerned about size. What I mean is they can be bigger around then 16 inches in diameter like SVS uses. Plus I'd prefer to use bigger drivers then SVS does. At least 15's maybe 18's. I'd like the tune to be at least 13 to 15hz if possible I'd like for them to be ported. They can be up to 43 inches tall and be a lot bigger around then SVS designs. They are going behind the couches. The amplifiers I would like to be not set up in the subs I'd prefer exterior amps not ones built into the subs. If they can be done and are better then the 4000's hell I might just have to sell the 4000's and build 2 more.
But what I need to know now is can this even be realistically done in a cylinder ported form for the budget I am selecting? I have access to tools. Just need to know if it's possible and what I need to acquire and also learn so I can start planning to build these next year or the year after.
Thanks for any input. If the answer is no it's just not realistic I'm okay with hearing that just need to know. Thanks for your time.
