Awhile back I posted in this forum. We are going to move into another house and it has a nice sized room in the basement for a home theater setup. At that time I was thinking of using about a 46-50 inch plasma, building my own sub using a 2245H, and scrounging Ebay or Craig's list for some vintage JBL speakers - maybe L166's or L96's or L112's, etc. Since then I have lost a little enthusiasm for the project and have seen some of the L series HT speakers for sale on Ebay (refurb by Harman Audio) - L820, L830, L860. Maybe I should just use those in my 5.1 setup along with my 2245 sub. Any ideas - I still like the original idea, but it seems like there are less L166's for sale (my favorites) and maybe mixing and matching the speakers is not the best idea. I have read the reviews where the new L series sound quite good. Any comments?
Another question: If I used my 2245H in an 8-9 cu ft cabinet, and wanted to use 3 ports (actually going to use S1S-EX dimensions) what size and length of tubes should I use? (I had this all figured out with Eminence Designer software but lost the CD-ROM and it needs it to "unlock" the program and I refuse to pay another $80 for another CD...) I'm assuming I will want it tuned to about 25-30hz.
Any and all help will be much appreciated.
