Danny,

Would you rather have (8-10, M-130?) 4.5 inch drivers or a SW-12B as a subwoofer for music and home theater?

Thanks,
Robert

With just that bare info, 12B would be my choice.

I have the 12a with the apex senior amp, and it makes a very nice sub for modest costs.  It would be a lot easier than trying to make all of those m-130's work well as a sub.

The M-130's are 5.25" drivers. They aren't designed to play that low. A group of them will give you superior quality and clean output down to about 40Hz or so and that is about the limit of a group of them.

The SW-12B, if loaded properly will play down to a -3db of 20Hz.

Thanks guys.  I guess reconditioning my RS-750s into a sub is a poor idea.  Sell them and build a regular sub seems to be the best option.

I had hoped to get OB sub or subs, but that is looking more and more like a dream.

Get the single servo sub!  It's worth the pain of saving your money and stretching your budget.

Promise. aa

For music and movies it's simply astounding.

[Danny Richie]

That is really good advice.

Is loaded properly referring to the amp power or crossover setting?


Good luck on the 750 sale.  I can't believe they haven't sold at that price.

That was referrring the the correct sized box and port tuning.
