[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 89398, member: 4"] Re: Small-ish Home Theater Subwoofer John, thanks, your practical experience here is very helpful. I'm aiming for -3dB at 35Hz, but frankly if I end up with 40Hz I'll be perfectly happy. The biggest limitation right now seems to just be fitting the size ports I want into the box, since they need to be around 1/3 meter long. I'm hoping if I stuff the box with padding and make it super stiff I'll get it to sound and behave pretty well. The BG series is basically designed for this sort of thing, and you are correct that the 12BG100 would be much more appropriate. However, then I wouldn't get to have a little subwoofer that looks like a concert dual 18", and that would make it much less fun. There's no way I'm going outside of the B&C catalog, as that would increase my driver cost to a level that would make this project no longer fun, but Acoustic Elegance and PD have great reputations here.
