    FS: DIY Adire Audio Tempest subwoofer

    I'll consider selling the stuff separate. I really dont want to get stuck with the enclosure though. So if i can find someone who wants the enclosure then its fine by me. As to the price I'll have to look around and see what they are going for. Ryan

The subwoofer is in Perfect working order and has never been driven very hard. The enclosure is a 10 Cu Ft sono tube tuned to 16.5 Hz. The driver is an adire audio...

    Tube Speakers

    If you want larger diameter PVC check the local plumbing supply stores. They'll tell you the prices per foot of PVC. I got a 6" x 10' tube for around $15 US locally. For sono tube check any local hardware store chains. Around here we have Home Depots and Lowes that sell the tubes in sizes from...

    Tube Speakers

    I used a VERY small enclosure so I did go sealed. The PVC was "thin wall" which is about 1/8" thickness. They also sell it in 1/4" I beleive. I listened to them both with and without poly batting inside the enclosures. I decided I liked the sound a bit better with the batting. It also seemed to...

    Tube Speakers

    I have built tube speakers in the past using PVC. My brother in law also built tube speakers but using sono tube instead of PVC. In both cases I think it turned out really good. The construction isnt terribly difficult and there doesnt seem to be and mojor resonance issues. Plus you get one...

    NHT Model 2 tower speakers

    I would send an e-mail to NHT and ask how much a replacment driver costs. You cant really effectivly use a differnt midrange than the orignal. The crossovers were designed for that specific driver that used to be in there. Ryan

    Need pictures of subwoofer enclosurs

    I think i've heard someware that you dont wanna leave any panel much more that 10" without bracing?? Meaning the most unbraced area you would want is 10" i guess. I've found a few pictures heres the links Thomas W's Aerial stryke subwoofer (lots of bracing) Link Removed There are some...

    Three Speaker Setup

    Well could you possibly make a diagram of your room so we can see what your talking about. Are you having trouble getting surround speakers behind you or are they in the walking path etc? You could look into some ceiling or in wall surround speakers. They wont be timbre matched with the mains...

    Just finished my DIY computer speakers!

    The TN28 sounds great. Its got a very clean clear sound to it. I think I like it a bit better than the Tweeter in my AV 1's even. To drive the speakers I have to use an old stereo amp right now :/. I did all the testing with my H/K AVR 230 though. I dont think there are any really affordable...

    Just finished my DIY computer speakers!

    Hey guys, I know some of you have seen my previous post about speaker designs. Anyway I have just finished my project. I started desinging the satilites and subwoofer about 3 months ago. I finalized the crossover at 2,300 Hz. Its a Linkwitz 2nd order X-over and theres a 2.5 dB pad on the...

    What could be the problem w/ this sub???

    Make sure that the subwoofer output is turned on in the menu for the receiver and that its level is up and not like -10. One easy way to test the sub is hook it up to the left or right analog output from a CD or DVD player. Make sure you have the volume on the sub turned down before playing the...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    Thanks :D. I'm toying around with shortening the PVC. What I really wanted to do was have a much shorter PVC pipe (3~4") and make a foam cone the same shape as the tweeter. Then attatch that to the back endcap. I think it would look really cool if the woofer enclosure matched the tweeter. But I...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    Hey guys. i finally got the tweeters in today! After messing around with them I decided to scrap the MTM for now. It would invlove cutting into the PVC then resealing it. Just seemed like too much of a hassle. I might try it sometime later but for now I'm just sticking with the original TM...

    Pics of a new set of cables Ive made

    There for speakers that have separate crossovers for the woofer and tweeter. You can use two amps one per driver or one amp and one of these cables that splits the signal. Or you can use a little metal jumper at the terminal cup of the speaker :D. Ryan

    Pics of a new set of cables Ive made

    My guess is that there so you can bi-wire a speaker with only one amp. Those are very nice looking cables btw. The only cable I have made so far is the CAT5 speaker cables. Of course mine look like crap though :D. What type of cable did you use for the conductor? Is it just standard 12 Ga...

    Can't get sub to work correctly (PB2-ISD)

    The only two things I can think of to check are the level of the subwoofer on your receiver and if the mains are set to small. On all the receivers i've messed with you can adjust the level on the subwoofer preamp out on one of the menus. Make sure it isnt like -10 dB or something. And if for...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    The midbasses I was planning on using at first were these. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=299-432 They are 4.0 DCR and 6 Ohm nominal. But I wanted a little more power so I switched to these http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=299-433 They are very very similar but...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    Ok guys its been a while since I updated this but heres my progress so far. After testing the midbasses out I decided that I wanted to do either a MTM or TMM with these midbasses http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=299-433 They come out to about the same impedance wired together...

    removing speaker smell

    If they are ported you can stick and air freshener in them. Just think ever time theres some bass you'll get a puff of fresh air :D. Seriously though, I've had used speakers (and one pair of headphones) that really stunk. I didnt do anything and I either got used to it or it went away within...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    I just called a lot of local stores and nobody makes 5" dia anything :/. I think I might try some carpet stores we'll have to see though. I'm thinking about making 5 MDF rings that are 5" dia (outside) being 1/2" think. they would be made out of 3/4" MDF and glued together. If i cut them 1/2"...

    Budget speakers design ideas?

    Well I just got an e-mail back from PE and it looks like the tweeters wont be in stock untill around the 27th :frowning:. So I guess my project is going to be delayed a bit. Anyway once I get the tweeters I will be sure to take lots of pics of the building process! Ryan
