This site purpose is to bring you the bottom line
A hands-on detailed DIY active subwoofer project.
A project you can easily build by yourself, enjoy your music more and renew your music collection.

If you want to learn how to build a subwoofer alone from scratch you can learn a lot from the web, especially from here:
The Subwoofer DIY Page - which is the main data base in this area, where you can understand why and how thing are going.
You may also visit the start of my acoustics page there you find a movie on Modal Ringing and Resonance which is correlated.
Anyway, my site is new and will grow on the next months with more interesting information and pictures on the project and more, so you may be connected.

Changes in listening experience occurred: not only accurate chest hitting drum bit on the 1970`s rock recordings and not a "one note bass" on complicated jazz recordings, it gave also warmth to singing.

Ella Fitzgerald warmth is warmer now.
Also dramatic orchestral moves got an unbelievable change, like a whole new track.

Here you can get a tiny clue about my musical taste.

My system

• Main Loudspeakers - Triangle Iconor XS - a DIY kit
  I have built the enclosures.
  The kit is equivalent to the ready made model, Triangle LYYR ($3695 in 2002)
  My mains bits much more expensive loudspeakers!
  They were purchased from a DIY loudspeaker shop in Paris.
  Their website: lamaisonduhautparleur.com
  My next upgrade...  - just $34,000

• Integrated amplifier - Audio Analogue Puccini SE
  Audio Analogue website

• DAC - Musical Fidelity A3 24 was running with various of CD players as transports and also an exotic Micromega dedicated transport.

• Source - Logitech Squeezebox , streams FLAC files from my LP. The SB is connected with an optical cable so the DAC is practically in charge on the sound conditioning.

• Interconnects - XLO ULTRA 1
  XLO website

• Speaker Cables - Bi-wiring:
  High - Van Den Hul M.C. CS 122 HYBRID.
  Low - Monster M Series
  

My Triangle are awesome DIY speakers! They make things to sound REAL!
But you know the feeling that something is always has 2 b missing.
So I went to my next DIY project and built this subwoofer. I had one condition before start: only a perfect blend with my sys will be accepted anything else will be given as a gift . I wanted to build a subwoofer for music. So I have picked the closed enclosure design and built a closed box. The box was build without compromises on box volume, weight, wall thickness, distance ratios or bracing configurations. As a DIY I can make everything!
The result was far beyond expectation: a punchy, tight, deep, low musical bottom end.
