Games require not only intense graphics, but high quality sound effects as well. The gaming experience will never be complete without a breakthrough speaker and subwoofer system to bring down the house while you’re shooting down aliens or navigating through three-dimensional worlds. On the other hand, if you’re a movie addict, no amount of widescreen visuals would be sufficient if you don’t have a powerful surround-sound system to complement it with. If you’re a band person, your audio collection would only be given justice by a fully capable speaker system which brings out all the instruments, especially the boom of the bass. You will always need the best sound system possible in order to fully enjoy any technology showcase. For starters, you should consider building bandpass subwoofer enclosures to maximize the bass effect.
You can customize your own bandpass subwoofer enclosures easily by following these simple how-to steps. First, acquire all the necessary materials for your bandpass subwoofer enclosures. Start shopping for a medium-density fiber board, or a high-grade particle board. You can acquire these materials from lumber yards or home improvement centers. Either of these materials can serve as boards for your bandpass subwoofer enclosures. Pay special attention to the thickness of the material you’re going to buy. Thicker boards usually provide better acoustics. If you want to push your subwoofer’s performance capabilities to the limit, buy thicker boards. The standard thickness recommended for subwoofers at least eight inches tall is half an inch thick of board material. For subwoofers at least ten inches tall, it’s better to utilize boards with a thickness of five-eights of an inch. Don’t forget though that making your boards thicker will result in a heavier bandpass subwoofer enclosures. Try experimenting with boards of different thickness to see how this will affect your subwoofer enclosure’s total weight.
Now, go back to your subwoofer. Check its cone area to determine what the dimensions of your subwoofer enclosure should be. The cone area is the representation of your subwoofer’s sound output capability. If you only have a small subwoofer, then most probably it only has a small cone area. If this is the case, build a small subwoofer enclosure instead of a big one. However, if you have a large subwoofer, it would have a greater cone area. Adjust your subwoofer enclosure by extending its dimensions to fit your subwoofer’s cone area.
Now that you’ve determined the framework of your subwoofer enclosure, you should use exceptional bracing materials to hold the parts in place. Utilize drywall screws and wood glue to screw the boards into place. Carefully use counter sinking in order to refrain from damaging the boards when you apply the screws. Fill up the gaps between the boards with silicone baulk in order to avoid audio performance lapses. Then as a finishing touch, pad the interior of the subwoofer enclosure with polyester fiberfill. This ensures that the interior is provided with good acoustics.
Making your own bandpass subwoofer enclosures will take some time and money, but the end result will be well worth it.
