My cave used to be the living room...until my son came along. Now the room is always messy and I never get to listen to music or watch movies there...had to put a tv in the bedroom lol.

I built all the speakers, I run car stereo amps with dedicated power supplies and a 15" downfiring powered sub on a marble slab...the carpet would eat up all the bass.The tv is a 60".

Goes without saying I love my music and I love it loud!

Awesome! Did you use PC power supplies? It's easy to get carried away building subs for a room!

I set that up bc I love music but I also wanted that theater sound for movies like that. It doesn't bother me that it's stereo sound instead of 7.1 or whatever the newest version is.

I used 12V power supplies, you can see the on the left of the middle shelf. I think people use these for HAM radio? They're 20 amp, which should be plenty since the amps are only driving mids and highs.

The sub is a powered 15"...the funny thing about it is the soundwaves...in the living room the bass isn't super heavy but you can feel it...but if I go down the hall, the base gets a lot more intense and is rattling dishes in the kitchen and pictures on the wall. It's almost like the living room and hall are acting like a giant ported box.

I had originally planned to use the 15" only temporarily. I was going to build a slim design sub that uses a bunch of downfiring 6" or 8" drivers that would slide under the couch. But my son came along and I have kind of lost interest in that project over the years.

Love it! What amp did you use for your sub? I also know what you mean about the vibrations and shaking stuff off shelves in other rooms lol. Im sure before too long mine will be on basement duty collecting dust.
