hi
my question is im after buying 2 diy subs
that will compete with the svs pb16 ultra subwoofer
i want them to go down to the same low frequency
for all out bone rattling wall shuddering effect
and want them to perform as good as the svs pb16 ultra subwoofers
but i want them at a lot lower price to pay
what diy subs could i use to do this role
my setup is emotiva t2 for fronts and rear dutys as well and additional t2s for additional extra rears
plus using a denon 8500 for reciever
a emotiva xpa2 gen3 amp and a emotiva a300 to enhance the front speakers
a oppo 205 4k player
blue jeans speaker cables
a emotiva c2 centre speaker
then i want to use 6 atmos in ceiling speakers
either from klipsh or montitor audio or kef
model to be worked out later which to use for the best wide dispersion and sound quality and holographic effect to be detimined

I think if you want to beat the PB16, you will want to go ported as well for the most output possible. The question is, how much space do you have for 2 huge cabinets? If you need high output with small cabinets then you are spending a lot of money on the driver and lots of watts. How many Cft are you thinking per cabinet?

I misread it was the PB16....my bad. still 2 18" 4 cu' sealed would best the pb16 by quite a lot...and dig MUCH deeper. as well.... but your suggestions are spot on....but for even cheeaper...get the 18" ultimax and put that in a ported 5-6 cu' box and even better output and cheaper still |
