need good home audio volume

[Davew18]

my dad and i are piecing together a nice home audio set up, currently running a 2.1 brands consisting of behringer and hertz.

were ready to step up to 5.1 (yes 7.1 is soon to come) my dad said to me " i love the sound that were getting but alotta times when were watching movies or listening to music, i really wanna shake the house and get LOUD."

i instantly thought, floor standing cabinets housing dual 10 inch midbass dual 6.5 midrange and dual silk dome tweeters and some dayton 3 way x-overs.

but i think we want more volume, i know thats alot don`t get me wrong, but the living room at my parents is huge and has very large doors to the deck where they spend alot of there time listening to music thats playing in the house.

i cant sacrifice any sound quality here, any suggestion? -Dave

so your planing on building these yourselfs?

[Davew18]

yes indeed sir i am.

yes indeed sir i am.

A single tweeter is a better bet, and off-the-shelf xovers are not the best route as a custom-fit one.

it will give very nice sound with either setup. 1 runs $1750.00 the other is $1960.00. If you can build boxes you save over 400 with either project.

top of the line sound with either setup. 25hz to 20000hz pretty flat and low distortion.
