[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 101249, member: 46"] Re: Small-ish Home Theater Subwoofer Bennett, Something different to consider would be to augment the low end sensation through a bass shaker such as a buttkicker or one of the many cheaper knockoffs. They are awesome when you directly attach them to a couch or chair and you don't have to worry much about the vibrations affecting neighbors etc. This would help to supplement the sensation of massive low end from a small sub while not compromising the visual BT218 appearance that you are going for and it's therefore less of a big deal if you aren't able to get much below 40 as your down point. Partsexpress has a bunch of shakers like the Auras which are cheap and effective at reasonable levels, especially when it is just to supplement the sub you are building rather than being the primary....
