This thread is really quite irrelavent in my opinion unless we know what type of music we are talking about. Well for xmas my beautiful wife got me some AW650's and I know I wont be happy with them without a sub. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. I calibrated the system using Audyssey on my Denon AVR receiver. I didn't have the room to do so though, so I made do with the cylinders I had. I attached the legs by predrilling them, then screwing them in from the inside part of the endcap. I am leaning on your post as I build a pair now. The Subwoofer DIY Page (start here!) I've got speakers in both situations and have had to replace them more than once. This is very easy to do and is a worthwhile modification as the amplifier is a bit noisy if you don't do this. This shows the ducting pipe, it's 18 inch in diameter. Whichever is used it would need to be damped though. Rain Defence (author) from UK on September 24, 2013: To be honest if I could've got it I probably would've used it but its not as easy to get in UK and I got the metal ducting for free. You can see how they look in the room though, although they're large, they're not overly intrusive as they black and the fabric I used to line them is the same fabric I used to make the frames for the walls. I have an outdoor covered patio with a TV and 5-channel surround run by a Denon 3803 AVR (125watts x5). A DIY subwoofer might just be the fix you’re after. This is the top endcap, once the port had been fitted. The inside needs lining to stop resonance. Of course this meant making new endcaps. I don't need it to be very large out of consideration of my neighbours, just something to pair up with my 80W outdoor speakers. I had already lined the outside of the cylinder with foam by this point. I didn't voice my opinion too much to him as I knew he had paid a lot of money for his, but the evidence was as clear as day once we heard his versus mine. I bunged them, calibrated the sound system again and had a listen. Looking to build an outdoor subwoofer. I decided to build cylinder subwoofers and follow the sonosub style of build for a couple of reasons. These are how they looked before I had sanded and painted them. There was no doubt in either of our minds that mine sounded considerably better than his. When you have the wrong stuff the solution generally is not found by adding more wrong stuff. I predrilled the legs so they didn't split when the screws went in. As the majority of cylinder subwoofers are made in America of cardboard tube with the sonotube brand name, a subwoofer made in this way is commonly known as a sonosub. Again, TOTALLY new … As you can see there is very little room, so the terminals now had to go onto the topcap, with the speaker cable running down the inside of the cylinder. This is the subwoofer I had before. "WILL GO LOW AND LOUD" What are you listening to on it? I'll see if I can get a pair of the Kicker KB6000 then and try them out. This led to the amplifier gain being increased, so I get the same out of them as I did before, but with an improved sound. As I couldn't easily get hold of another AV15X driver as there were production issues, I decided to sell the 15 inch driver and buy these. Building your own subwoofer is really not that difficult (especially if you get a relative or friend to do the woodworking for you! The other way, where I fitted the endcaps into the cylinder, then dropped the driver in, was a lot easier. I modified the fan by replacing it with a much quieter type. DIY is definitely the way forward! Rain Defence (author) from UK on July 12, 2013: Don't just think, do it! It needs to be a tight fit so air doesn't escape when you're using the subwoofer. I de… This is a BK Monolith subwoofer, which is very well regarded and gets excellent reviews. I'm looking to add a downward facing subwoofer under a the patio sofa which is protected by the weather. I then lined the whole thing with plenty of foam. This is what you want, so you don't get a boomy echo when you're using the subwoofer. This was the foam before I stuck it inside the cylinder. Of course as time went on and more and more money got spent, I realised that for the amount I'd spent I could've just bought something, but as I get a lot more performance than even a pair of high end subs out of my DIY versions, then as far as I'm concerned I made the right choice. The big difference here is that it needs to be able to withstand weather, insects and other critters. Looking to build an outdoor subwoofer. I'll have to consider building something similar. Come join the discussion about tools, projects, builds, styles, scales, reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more! They're 18 inch drivers from Fi Car Audio, Fi Q18s. Here it is standing up after the cap had been put in. The only thing left to do was to line the outside with fabric. I wanted an SVS PC13 Ultra subwoofer as I had read good things about them, but I didn't really have the spare cash as they're not cheap. These are the endcaps after they had been painted and screwed together. I lined the inside and outside of the cylinder with this. The quality was great, but I just wanted a bit more headroom. These are the endcaps that I cut from a 4x8 board of inch thick MDF with a router. After I had listened to the subwoofers for about six months, I decided to try them with the ports bunged.
