Re: Upgrading Subs – New Driver or new Sub –What would you do?
So many choices!!!
I had a look and the DSL TH stuff looks awesome!!!
I'm now thinking of going for a home made box...and when I say home made what I mean is, one of my mates is a tech teacher with access to the materials, machinery and has the skills to do a good job of it and is willing to help.
So I'll leave the Wharfedales as they are so I can sell or keep them and if I can get hold of a good design I'll go ahead and make a new sub "myself".
Design wise I'm as far as knowing I would like more output and lighter if possible (less than 180lbs).
So I would really be looking for a design for a single B&C15TBX100 (nothing more expensive) or 2-15s or 2-12s at half the price for example.
So is there a drawback to using a TH sub vs a front loaded sub other than the size difference? Why is everyone not using them for the extra 6Db?
Right so would a well designed dual 15" front loaded sub (with two inexpensive 500W drivers) running at 1000Watts total for example always be louder than a single 15" sub with a more exensive driver running at 1000W or even 2/3K? Even the best 15" driver you can find? Assuming the cab designs were simillar.
Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get my head round all this and try and work out if I will be able to equal or beat the performance of my two Wharfedales with a single 15" design.
