But.. do what type of kit to use??? Help needed!
First, let me say that my budget is currently at ZERO! I was recently laid-off so $$ is tight.
My current sub woofer is, or I should say was, a JBL psw-d112, that just gave up the ghost! Itwas the last remaining piece of my "original" HT. I was doing some research before replacing it. Now that funding was cut, I am subwoofer-less.
I had noticed on Ebay that some of the Powered Subwoofers that appeared under the search were "DJ" styled units. These were quite powerful, and reasonable priced. The Mackie SRS1500, or JBL EON 15" are good examples.
I have also looked at various DIY articles, and Kits (Titan, Madisound, etc) And having use of a full woodworking shop, and WAY too much time on my hands, I figured this might be a good place to start!
But which kit, or plan to use? I can't afford mistakes!
Then, what type of amp, box-mount, or stand-alone, or a P.A. amp? I really do want quality sound, but cost may be factor for some time, I need to find the happy medium.
I love DEEP solid bass. I use my HT for movies only, music is only played when dusting the equipment!
Thank you to all who replied, I look forward to more info, comments, etc!
