Hello, I watched Alien vs. Predatur last night at my normal reference level. The shiva is toast. The enclosure is an EBS design tuned to 18.1hz. Any ideas on what to do next? Would an Adire Alignment be better at protecting the driver? I am using a Parts Express plate amp with a Behringer FBD...

I just had this delivered today. Initial opinion was very high, but after 8 hours of viewing, I am noticing that the display flickers/adjusts from normal blacks to green. The entire display content has too much green drive or not enough red and blue. Has anyone here experienced this with this...

Hello, I am new to SACD and would like to pick up some CD's to here what SACD is all about. After viewing a few websites on titles, I am confused about formats. I see the word Hybrid Stereo and Hybrid M/C. What does it mean when the word Hybrid is used? Are there any other formats for SACD? I...

Hello, I am using an old RS Meter Cat No. 42-3019 and the documentation states that the response in C weighted is flat from 35hz to 7Khz (+-3db). I am using the PEQ spreadsheet and other spreadsheets to plot the room, but I am not sure about the corrections below 35hz. Anybody out there using...

Hello, I have been listening to my 142.5|21.5hz Shiva and notice that there is ringing in the enclosure. It is a 14" diameter PVC pipe. What can I use to deadon the enclosure? Egg crate foam or polyfill batting lining the enclosure? How will this affect the overall design? I placed a Nerf...

Hello, I am pondering the idea of a new sub. Something along the lines of the Maelstrom or multiple Titanic MKIII 12's/15's. Is there an advantage to the Maelstrom over the multiple drivers? This is for HT use so the deep extension is desired, but the appeal of a sealed sub sounds good also. Why...

Hello, I want to thank Thomas for the idea of using the Nerf Football in my subwoofer port. The sub is a 142.5l 21hz tuned Shiva. I was experiencing extreme port noise at

Hello, I am still having a blast with my new sub. Just installed a BFD and am making very good progress towards integrating the sub into the room. Why do I hear port noise when playing sinewaves and rarely hear port noise with regular program material? Just curious. Thanks, Russell

Hello, I want to experiment with the setup that I have. It is currently a 142.5L 21.5hz Shiva. What would be the pros and cons of making this setup sealed? I have modeled it in WinISD and notice that the frequency response is not as low, but will it be capable of HT reference levels with a...

Hello, I am thinking about building another sub. Currently have a shiva in a 142.5 tuned to 21.5hz. What determines the tuning point? Considering an Fs of 21hz for the shiva, what are the pros and cons of higher and lower than Fs? The above sub is awesome, especially since I only have $325...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone here has tuned their subs with a little bass boost? Currently, I have a 142.5L with 21.5hz tuned flare and will try a 25hz tune, which will raise my 30hz region ~2db. Just playing around. Also, according to WinISD, the port speed should be decreased. This may...

Hello, I have recently built a 142.5L, 21hz tune. I ran spl's today without any other speaker playing and noticed that the lower octave has serious vent noise. Somewhere around 40hz and below. The levels are only at an average of 89db from 40hz to 16hz. What can I do to remedy this? Larger...

Hello, My sub is built and am integrating into hometheater. It sounds good. Gobs of bass. LOTR 1/2, Phantom Menace: Pod Race, no problems. I have to get used to this type of bass. I plan on building a second sub of some type complement the room. Thank you, Russell

Hello, I am in motion on this project and have a few questions. I am using a PE250 plate amp without the bass boost. How will the 19hz rumble filter work with the 18.1hz port tune? Will the the lower than 19hz information be present or does the filter remove this information? I have the...

Hello, I am assembling the EBS alignment next week using a PE250 plate amp with the flared port. This is reside in a ~14"id pvc tube. The Adire plans for this alignment do not use polyfil, but would like your opinions. Pros and Cons. Should the tube be lined with anything? Anyway, I will have...

Hello, I am using the radio shack spl meter #42-3019. This is an older model, but I do have the response graph. I do not understand what values will comprise the microphone compensation table. If there is a dip at 1khz by 10db (-10db in reference to 0), then what would be the entered value...
