Subwoofer Plug


Howdy, how to do you get or make a good subwoofer plug? I have a pair of SVS subs that I'd like to plug and, given that I'm trying to blend subs with Maggies, any sub I get in the future will either be sealed or I would like the option to at least trying a port plug. Problem is that unless it comes with one I have zero idea what to do. I suppose I could throw my dirty laundry in there, but that doesn't seem optimal somehow..... I should probably stick to clean clothes. ;)

Thanks for all the replies!

Hey Johnny, good idea. I want to say that my SVSs did come with a plug eons ago, but I've lost them and, anyway, I'd need three for each. These are the earliest SVS cylinder subs; they may not make anything like this any longer, I don't really know. Still worth checking.

Rrog, interesting idea, although if you're referring to my subs' size, they're not small. I think the newest generations of SVS have gone the mighty mouse approach, but back when I bought they were making subs that made their buyers look like they were compensating for something (no.... The answer is no, I am not compensating... :)

But seriously, I've got the tallest of the passive cylinders from 2002. I think the model was something like 12-46cs ( they are the tall ones, so I might have the height number wrong or something). Anyway, these are big mombajombas; too big for the room they are in now. I am going to be selling one and, depending on how the stuffin' works maybe both.

Zman, Rod: thanks for the leads and ideas. I will look into those ideas. Definitely worth it.

Eldart: I feel like we are talking about the same thing tho, no? To be honest tho, I've never seen a sub advertised as an "acoustic suspension" type. I've seen ported, sealed, different kinds of loadings (or maybe the right nomenclature is different order subs?). Could you point me toward info on acoustic suspension? Thanks!
