[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8660161, member: 614752"] First of all, I think you'll want to stick to 100hz and down (80 and down for preference) for sub duty, plan to get the rest out of the front. The higher you try to go with the sub the more directional it'll be and tend to pull your soundstage back. In fact if you can figure out a way to get strong midbass from in front of you (optimum) say down to 50-55hz your sub will have a much narrower bandwidth you'll need it to play making your job an awful lot easier. That said it doesn't sound like you're after huge output so really your easiest option is to get a solid 1200W sub put it in a sealed box fitting your working space, throw that on a 1200-1500W amp and EQ the hell out of it until it gives you the desired response from your listening position. Trying to wring efficiency out of this project will require a whole lot more guess and test on your part and add much more complexity. More than one way to skin a cat, the catch is how much time, money, and testing you're willing to throw at this project. [/QUOTE]
