Hey all,

Ive never really been knowledgeable about hardware but have years of experience on the software side.

I make electronic music and have always cut my lows out because ive never owned a subwoofer to hear it and do any manipulation in that range, despite wanting to make bass music. I’ll have a bigger space next year and want to start developing synth patches that take advantage of that range (subwork like GRiZ and Bassnectar stand out).

I know that there is some relation to diameter and ported/nonported that will make an impact on accurate reproduction, but most of the threads I find are for “BIGGER BIGGER BASS” and mainly Car AV.

I was originally going to get a ported 10" because i think that would reach the deepest notes but then I wonder if it wont be a very tight response. So then I was thinking 2x 8" because it distributes the power more evenly and i can use higher gain for clarity without just overblowing the sub bass. I also heard that nonported subs have a flatter response? I got a bit lost in the search.

If you wanted the best fidelity you could get, down to 20-30Hz range, what speakers would you go with?

FYI: up top i am thinking 6.5" with 1" tweeters to compliment.

    i suppose so, though i figured in the end an audiophile would be looking for perfect sound reproduction. Full frequency spectrum, flat, clarity. Which is ultimately the end goal, especially in contrast to a lot of audio enthusiasts who just want louder and louder sound.
