Subject: Sub Questions re Quad ESL_63s
|
I have a nice pair of Quad ESL_63s and I am toying with building or buying a subwoofer to supplement the bass. Commercially made subs are so expensive, even used ones, that I might build my own. I have looked at this site a little and have concluded that a sealed acoustic suspension or dipole sub might be best for this application. The Linkwitz dipole subs look very interesting. However I am a complete novice and I don't understand how to manage the amplification of the sub and crossovers. I read in a Stereophile issue about a Bryston 10B Sub crossover device that, I gather allows one to establish volume and crossover points and slopes for a sub. Is this what is meant by an "active crossover"? I guess that's enough questions for now. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has built a sub for Quads, and how their experiences went. I am pretty handy as a woodworker, so I think I can manage the enclosures, it's the rest of the project that has me stumped. George Roland Moderated By: brian@diysubwoofers.org |

Go to music and design and check out the active "U" frame I built it for a friend and it integrates perfectly with the quad. John Moderated By: brian@diysubwoofers.org |
