It doesnt matter that part of it is sticking in the box?

If you want to really get technical with it, you could calculate the amount of space you're losing and make up for it with the box design. Or, you could just stuff some polyfill in there and achieve the same thing:

Usually, HT/home boxes are tuned pretty low, anywhere from 20-25Hz.

Mine is tuned to high 20s. Low enough to get a good rumble from movies but with the space I was working with, any lower and I wouldnt have modeled up a very flat response.

Thanks

Why so low?

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

Because you don't have in-cabin gain like in a vehicle...so you need to tune lower to compensate for the extra loss you're going to get in the bottom octave.

Also, a lot of action movies have subsonic material, from 20Hz sometimes down to 15Hz - you can't hear it, but it's what shakes your spine and rattles the walls.

Ahh

What would you reccomend if its going to be for video games, lots of music (mainly rap), and some movies?

Anything from 25-30Hz should work fine.

That's exactly it. Murphy's Law...the lightning or power spike will only strike your equipment when it's not protected.


I was running two JBL 3way studio monitors, a NAD integrated amp with about 40wpc, and a 250W plate amp pushing a Shiva in 1.5cubes sealed...I was the loudest thing on the hall when I was in the dorms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Trust me, a good two channel setup is all you're going to need.

Hey Jack will those speakers be able to handle that power, even if it is like 80w?
