i used a 8" subwoofer from an abandoned car stereo setup. works fine from the sound of it.
my biggest question is what to use for the built in pad. the signal coming in is too hot, and an inline pad must be installed.
this site: digitaldrummer.net - Sub-Kick project, which i found on g.s. on another thread of this very topic suggests a 10k with 1k shunt, but goes on to say this may not be optimal.
my question would be, what values would be optimal? |
I got together with many friends who are in the know about such things and wrote a comprehensive article on how to build your own sub-kick and even went into detail about how to do the wiring and pads.....
