This would include Subwoofers, X/O's, Cables and whatever you use to achieve the best bottom end in your system.   I know this is a similar poll, but this one may be more relevant as it in in percentages and not raw dollars.

You can see the bass section in my avatar, but I'll post a larger picture here too.



The woofer in this 3-way is the Dayton RSS315HF-8 which accounts for about 25% of the build cost with the Scan Revelator mid making up the bulk of the cost.  On the back of the cabinet is an Acoustic Elegance 15" Passive radiator which tunes the 3.3cf enclosure to 17Hz, which gives anechoic F3 of about 25Hz and F10 of 14Hz.  The bass produced by this excellent woofer, which has loads of copper in the pole piece for low inductance and distortion, is effortless, warm and enveloping, and when called upon, will rattle the walls.  I've got it crossed to the Revelator at 350Hz 2nd order.  This is a true 3-way with passive crossovers and time aligned baffle.  Needless to say, there's no need for a sub.

It's all powered by a 500W Class-D amp.

< 10%, 3x GR/Rythmik sealed servo subs, DCX2496 crossover.

I get the bass i need in my main system with a small 10" av123 sub that underfills my VMPS 626R's at about 50hz. Not much volume needed. In my home theater a Velodyne 12" that was about $600.

Rough calculations put me at around 34%.

Bass system (still under construction):

• 4 Dayton RSS460HO-4 18" drivers
• The above drivers are split between 2 sealed sonosubs, each of which has 1 up-firing and 1 down-firing driver (only have floor space for 2 subs).
• 2 Crown XLS1500 stereo amps dedicated to subs (1 amp channel per sub driver).
• DCX2496 for individual EQ and low-pass of each of the 4 sub drivers (Geddes-inspired method).
