Dayton 100watt 10" subwoofer OUTPUT/QUANTITY vs Multimedia Set Subwoofer

You can still go DIY and go for quality.. It's all dependant on if you know how to choose your components and if you're good at building cabinetry. If your cabinets are crap and your speakers are awesome it's gonna = crap. This is where many people mess up when going DIY. I have seen so many times people build subwoofer enclosures only to have them too small, too big or rattle like crazy. I would say if you have the tools and are inclined to do a good job.. go for it. Just don't be half ass. You can probably do better than 90% of the prebuilt subs if you choose your components right. It doesn't have to be expensive either.

here is a tutorial I created if you are thinking about it.

I dunno, according to Dan the head honcho from Adire audio ( yeah i built two DIY subs). Box volume matter not somewhat and they don't have to be exact. Bracing is more important he said and my sub boxes don't rattle. they are rock solid with no leaks. Either one of my DIY will crack the foundation of my house and give you a heartattack.

Anyway back to topic like the dude said.
