[QUOTE="thadman, post: 1337692, member: 561122"] I am contemplating building a DIY Home Theater for my Xbox 360/Computer and have decided on these drivers [URL="http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?cart_id=8818261.24572&pid=2038"]http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?cart_id=8818261.24572&pid=2038[/URL] Can anyone help me design a passive filter for those? I can get each driver for approximately $11. The purpose of this is to create a cheaper/better sounding solution that Klipsch's Promedia 5.1 system. Will 1 driver per channel have enough output to best the klipsch system or should I add 2 drivers for the front and left stereo channels and the centers? How much do passive filters cost to produce? What subwoofer would do well with these drivers and not drown them out...just right. Its main purpose is to replicate large explosions, so Sound Quality isnt of huge concern as its main purpose is home theater although I would like it to sound nice. Would a Peerless XLS 12" mate nice with these? How are Dayton DVCs? How much power should I send the sub? I can get a Behringer Europower amplifier (ep2500 is 2400 watts @ 4ohms=$300, ep1500 is 1400 watts @ 4ohms=$250, and the a500 is 540 watts @ 8ohms = $180) Power really is limitless, the subwoofer is just the link. Does the A500 reference have noticeably better sound quality than the Europower? [/QUOTE]
