I have 2 mint condition JL audio 10w3v2's that i think would be great for home audio (used to be in a car). If anybody could help me find an amp/receiver to make them operational it would be greatly appreciated! I build my own enclosures so that wont be a problem.
The subwoofers are 300w RMS each.
What tuning would the enclosure have to be for home audio? I heard 10-15hz would be sufficient. Is this correct?
I am now to home audio, i don't know which brands are junk, and which brands are great.
Thank you ahead of time.

A safe bet for DIY home audio is Dayton Audio through partsexpress.com

This would be a good plate amp or you could get the 1000 watt version and have some headroom to play with if you take it easy on the gains.

The Bash version of that has a SSF and is less money...

Subsonic Filter. Filters out low frequency signal to protect your speaker from mechanical damage when needed.

And movies have some serious schtuff in them down low. HUGE addition IMO. I wouldn't build a home theater sub without one personally, but depending on your goals it may not be necessary.

Very true about movies adding a lot of oompf on the low end. I guess I haven't really designed a sub strictly for HT use, but then again we always use a hp filter on subs in our installs.
