Crewd, I would be interested in the dimensions of your single 10 inch box.

 

buffalotr8,

I'm using the plans I got here:

Just make sure your sub can handle these small sealed box volume requirements (.56 cf)

 

cgorris,

That's a good idea... I will check into those. Either way I have to hook up the head unit to see if it's CD-R compatible. If it's not I'll be looking for a new model today. The Alpine MRV-F450 has hpass/lpass crossovers so that'll be an extra source of control.
So many decisions!

 

YES!!! the Alpine is CD-R compatible! Now what about this thought?

What if I "bass blocked" the main inputs going into my Alpine 3550 at about 100Hz and did the exact opposite for the sub connection? Follow me?

Has anyone had any experience with these? This would be my cheapest alternative since I already have a decent amp.

Thanks for any help,
Jon

 

Yes you could do that. In fact you could either assemble your own low level x-over from parts at radio shack or just buy Fmods from a local shop. They will be passive of course, but 12db/octave should be more than adequate.
