DINAS – Do I Need a Subwoofer
This is for the build plans to build your own pair of Dinas. Dinas is short for Do I Need a Subwoofer. This is due to each speaker having it’s own powered subwoofer that goes down to an impressive 35hz. These are the Speakers you saw Toids DIY Audio from YouTube build and JoeNTell Review. They utilize an amplifier on each speaker to power their own subwoofer and the midrange and tweeter independently. It is a very powerful set of speakers that uses these components:

About The DINAS
Each speaker has it’s own redesigned voxel subwoofer. It is redesigned with a slot port that reduces port noise and increase sound quality. They feature a full range driver in it’s own sealed enclosure and a tweeter to help give the speaker a full frequency range to 20khz.
The projected Frequency response is around 35hz-20khz, making these a true full range speaker.
Since each speaker uses it’s own powered amplifier. you will hook these up with RCA cables and not speaker wire. For theater use, you would hook these to a receivers 7.1 channel RCA output. For stereo listening you can either use a 3.5mm to rca cable or a preamp with rca outputs.
