In addition to the excellent links above, the generally agreed on best bang for the buck sub right now is the 15" Dayton Quatro/240 watt amp combo. The 15" Quatro is a real giant killer in terms of sound quality, and plays pretty darn loud. It compares quite favorably to some much more expensive woofers.

Stick it in a 2.5 to 3.5 cubic ft, sealed box with a double think 0.75 inch MDF front baffle, and an interior shelf brace with a 15" hole in it. Easily built in a morning. Add time for finishing to your liking.

I'm in the same boat... From what I have heard and seen, the PartsExpress kits listed above sound like the way to go. I'm going to get a Titanic 10 kit soon. ???.

Any reason I should opt for my own design? It is important to me that the sub be very musical, any reason the Titanic kit is not the right approach? Is there a more musical sub in the same price range. say < $500.00?

If you have the tools to build your own cabinet, I would say go with the Rythmik Audio Direct Servo amp/driver combo. This uses a TC Sounds 12" driver with a very versatile amp.
I have built the Titanic 12", the Dayton 12"DVC Shiva clone, and the Rythmik is definitely
the hands down winner in the extension and SQ department.

Im going with the designed of "the drake" subwoofer featured here in this link http://www.partsexpress.com/project...rake/index.html
then I noticed that the enclosure design doesn't have any vent at all, will that be fine?? cause there will be a lot of pressure building on its back.

I bought a 500W 12" 4ohms subwoofer what kind of subwoofer amp should I purchase, how should I know that the amp is compatible with the driver????????

thanx

JC, what driver did you buy?
Will this sub be used for Home Theater or music or both?
How big is the room you will have it in?

The Drake is designed to be sealed. The backwave of the driver shouldn't be a problem in a properly designed cabinet, and actually can work to control the motion of the sub.
