Driver_King's Subwoofer Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Finally I post pictures!

The subwoofer will most likely be finished in Piano Black, which will be a difficult project. Besides that, enjoy!

Here is my post from the Elemental Designs forum:

Originally, I felt like getting an idea of another upgrade to my system. So, I tossed around some ideas with Brett about one of the sketch-ups he sent me for a single 19Ov.2 project. I thought it would be a great idea and would certainly fit my space. After a long conversation with Brett later on, I was convinced dual 19Ov.2's would be much crazier, so I opted for that option so long as I could sell my A2-300. Lucky me, I got to sell my A2-300 locally within two days of posting it for sale.

Brett had within a few days my design for a DIY A7-900...tuned to 15hz.

Dimensions were 49" wide, 36" tall, and 24" deep. Needless to say, I was incredibly psyched.

Without getting too detailed in the enclosure build, I can say the build was very time consuming and tedious. Everything was assembled in my garage with your everyday tools. It took around a week to complete. The bracing makes the enclosure tougher than a boulder.

I can only speculate as to how heavy the enclosure is now, which is probably well over 200lbs.

I plan on getting the enclosure to look nice, eventually.

I think I'll be going for a piano black finish. That's a whole other project in of itself though.

I will definitely have the subwoofer installed and connected by the end of this week. I will also post my impressions.

Here are some of the pictures of the build:

I have seen a few people build a riser for their theater seating, and incorporate the subs into the seat riser. Are you building a bed riser and incorporating the sub into that???

If not, did I just give you a wild idea????

Driver_King · 10-07-2009, 01:06 AM

Animo, if you think that is wild...

Hint: DIY

Animo · 10-07-2009, 01:38 AM

IB or a bedriser can be DIY.

Drew664 · 10-07-2009, 01:40 AM

That's what I thought. IB is practically all DIY. Hmmmmmmmm

Wow you're right, that's frikkin insane DK. So you'd just have the DIY sub in the theater room and a BEAST for the bedroom?

I love my A2-300 in my room, and I wouldn't mind the next step up for an upgrade. But I would never want one of those in my room lol. Think of your ears man, your ears!

Driver_King · 10-07-2009, 04:23 PM

My theater is my bedroom.

I decided I loved my theater so much, I'd move in.

Drew664 · 10-07-2009, 09:19 PM

I think Driver Queen had a say in it...

And by bed room, you mean the living room and on the couch!

Animo · 10-07-2009, 11:32 PM
