Choosing the right subwoofer

Killerbenny04

Hey, i wanted to build my own subwoofer. And i already have an amp. Now i wanted to buy the actual subwoofer, and saw that they are pretty cheap, almost to cheap to be true. And i sorted that one out: Blow A-300 12"

Would that be a good woofer for that price, or should i rather go a bit higher in price.

Ryzen 5 1600 Stock

Gainward GTX 1060 Stock

ASUS Prime B350 Plus

8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz Gskill

Be Quiet! 400 Watt unit

Corsair Carbite SPEC 03

 

 

My Old shitty System :

 

Intel Core I3 530 4x 2,93 GHz

NVIDIA GeFroce GT 330 750 MB VRAM

4 GB (2x2) Samsung DDR3

 

Sorry for my English. I'm from Germany !

I would spend a bit more and get this one: https://www.amazon.de/Lanzar-Subwoofer-Doppel-Lautsprecher-schwarz/dp/B001130MYY/ref=pd_sbs_107_1/262-9019862-1116430?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001130MYY&pd_rd_r=7abf1036-9371-11e9-ae2e-f17d37e36204&pd_rd_w=wpJha&pd_rd_wg=sa7Hc&pf_rd_p=74d946ea-18de-4443-bed6-d8837f922070&pf_rd_r=TZPFA0A7DRA7XKHDKV1E&psc=1&refRID=TZPFA0A7DRA7XKHDKV1E

The voice coil is larger, so is the magnet so it will be able to respond to changes in frequencies much better. Can also take 1200 watts so wont be as easy to fry the voice coil.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)
