[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 72898, member: 3"] Last question: How good are your woodworking skills? Specifically, are you able to build an enclosure with braces on the inside such that all edges will be airtight? The enclosure will need to be very solid and strong. In the meantime I will do some simulations, etc for you on the different drivers you have asked about and provide a comparison for you. Your room is quite small, which means you will most probably get quite a bit of room gain in the bass region. The one drawback of a small room however is that it may cause the bass to be a bit boomy. Soft furniture, couches, carpets, etc will all help to reduce that effect. If you find that the bass is too boomy for your liking, then simply moving the sub around a bit and experimenting with different locations will help alot. Transmission lines are very interesting projects to do, but I am not sure it's going to be what you are looking for in a subwoofer. Furthermore a transmission line tuned down to subwoofer frequencies will need to be exceptionally large and long. In my opinion, keep the TL idea for when you build a set of good quality floorstanding speakers as your next project. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
