[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7916948, member: 629234"] what do you have for the surround speakers? you want to be able to blend well with them, meaning the subs need to reach high enough. i wouldn't go higher than l5 for what you are doing, in fact, l3 might be more ideal, since the efficiency should be higher. yes, a horn or t-line would do well for ht. after-all, those enclosures were actually adapted for car audio application..... look up a bunch of box designs. what i would do is load them as close as you can to each-other, clam-shell at the back of a horn. for simplicity, you could always just go real big ported, tuned low. if you can't get them as much rms as they need, you can go even bigger than recommended. my first ht sub was an old pyramid12 in a sono tube under the stairs. that ran quasi-6th order by tipping the open end on the floor. that one got stupid loud on almost no power [/QUOTE]
