The Dual Subwoofer project
Putting the final touches on the sub. I added the baseboard, but left some space below it so the feed would sink into the carpet and the trim would still be above it.
Got the shortened chair-rail in place as well. I needed to shorten the chair rail peices a little, since I want the sub to look like it is part of the wall when sitting in the chair, and the trim was sitting a little too low, so I shortened the chair rail by cutting off about 3/8" from the bottom area.
All I need to do is finish filling nail holes, add a little stain in the areas where there is un-finished wood showing and bring it upstairs.
I have my old amp hooked up to it for now, until I get a proper amp to drive it. The old amp is only 250 watts and this sub can handle about 500.
Man, the flash brings out all the imperfections, doesn't it? I never said the wood was perfect!
This is what is looks like right now, until I get it placed in the right spot, from my seat in the theater.
I need to get the amp dialed in and then I can slide, or shimmy the sub back to it's resting place. We watched "Firewall" and I could really tell that it was able to reach lower than the old sub. This thing is a beast and it shows. The old subs could only go down to around 30hz before rolling off, and this can handle down to 20hz and lower.
