I'm looking at building a pair of subs using the Eminence Lab12C, one sealed the other ported, both based on the Eminence cabinet recommendations (http://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/more-info/290-668-eminence-speaker-lab-12c-more-info.pdf).
The sealed sub will be based on the medium sealed sub design from Eminence which appears to be the basis of the Zu Audio Undertone (http://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/undertone). I'm thinking of using a SAM 300D (http://www.monacor.de/en/products/speaker-technology/diy/active-modules/sam-300d/) amp plate as I intend to hook up the high level input with my main speakers and connect the low level from the pre-amp for AV.
The ported sub will be based on the large vented sub design from Eminence which looks very similar to the BK Electronics Monolith Plus (http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/Sub_Woofers/monolith-FF_Plus.htm). This will be used purely for the low level output from the pre-amp and will be solely for AV. I'm thinking of using the Behringer iNuke 1000DSP (https://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Power-Amplifiers/Portable-Amplifiers/NU1000DSP/p/P0AEJ) as I think this will deliver the required power (750w into 4ohm (bridged))and has the benefit of active crossovers.
I'd appreciate any input on this namely:
Does the SAM 300D deliver enough power?
If so what about crossover, the Eminence documentation recommends using a steep high pass at 35 Hz, how is this achieved without a crossover?
