Hey guys. I'm planning to build a subwoofer to add some extension and a little fun slam to my K1000s.
It will be within a foot or two of my listening position (ear level) so it doesn't have to be powerful at all (I imagine 10 watts is more than sufficient).
I'm hoping it'll deliver, with tweaking, a linear response from 20hz - 50hz and roll off around 6dB/octave at that point. Does this sound reasonable?
I'd like to use a small driver - maybe 6". Any recommendations? Cost is no issue.. I'm looking for as accurate bass reproduction as I can achieve.
Is there any value at all to building a class A/AB amp for this? Or should I just go with a Tripath chip?
Am I likely to need to do some kind of phase correction? If so would a variable capacitor do this, or is there some other way?
Thanks.
