hi robert j, thanks for the info regarding the shiva. was using it before in a smaller sealed enclosure, and then went up to the tempest for a combination of use for music and movies. the tempest is a ported 220 litre adire design tuned at 17 hz. its a downfiring sonosub. i have'nt used it...

hi everyone, robert - i found and read kyle's thread....thanks jim - i have given thought to the truck bedliner and am still considering using it. if not on this sub maybe the next one....thanks kyle - appreciate the directions for using the rustoleum hammered paint. i was planning...

hi, about to start painting another sub enclosure. picked up some rustoleum hammered black paint this morning. this will be used on mdf. the paint can says "no primer needed", but after doing a search people have suggested using a primer first if applying on mdf. on all my other projects i...

hi jim, you have been given lots of excellent advice already. an alternative to t-nuts and screws for mounting your tempest driver would be to use panel connectors. they can be ordered from rockler.com and come 8 per package. the cost is $3.69 per pack. they are the correct length when...

hi BlakeN, not sure what type of sub you have? in my 67 litre sealed Shiva sub, used about 2 lbs. of polyfill, which was recommended on the Adire online dicussion site. even though it was designed for an auto application, i tried it out beforehand in our home listening room. it sounded...

Nick, For the past 2 years I have been using a 222 litre ported Tempest tuned to 17Hz (adire alignment). Our room size is 13'x 17'x 8.5'ceiling with 5'x7' opening into a dining room. Earlier this year, my son and I built a 67 litre sealed Shiva for his vehicle. Prior to installing it in the...

Lee, When I built my family's first Tempest sonosub I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow a friends router for cutting the MDF. I thought that was the only sub I would be building, so why buy a router. Well, today I just started on 2 more sealed Shiva sonosubs and was lucky enough to be...

Justin, Not meaning to jump in on your thread but,I'm about ready to start building 2 separate sealed Shiva subs for car setups. Could someone tell me the displacement/litres that the Shiva takes up in the box. Thanks PeterV

Jeff, I used panel connectors from Rockler.com instead of T-nuts or threaded inserts for mounting the driver. They are just the right length for 2 layers of 3/4" MDF. They are splined on one end so as not to slip when tightening. The cost is $3.49 for an 8 pack. The part# is 18350...

Quote: __________________________________________________ ________ Are you talking about the Sapphire 87s or the Emerald 97s? I'm not able to make the Emerald 99s distort (for as loud as I pushed 'em). I was able to push them to -20dB on my Sony DA5ES. Even at -20dB they were still not...

Paul and Angelo As always, thanks for the excellent review of the Emerald 97's and the Modus 1.6's. Seth I have had the Sapphire 87's for 2 years and the Emerald 97's for 3 months. The Sapphires, like the Emerald line has excellent midrange and highs. Like Angelo had mentioned about...

Ron, Thats a nice lookin plate amp box. Good idea! Is it wood or metal? I built a similar one to yours out of sheet metal. Especially like your output terminal!! PeterV

Kyle, That is one impressive, great looking sub!! And also, some good looking kids! The looks of your sub has got me thinkin again. Congrats. PeterV

Hi Paul, Would you have the rear surround towers the same height as your front speakers or are you placing them up higher? I had thought about using towers for the rear surrounds but think my room size is to small. What is your room size? The idea of using a 97 tower on its side for the...

Paul, How would you compare the Wharfedale Sapphire line to the Emerald's? Thanks

Also used the Yung(Y6-PostB) binding posts from Madisound. They have a 45mm long shaft and worked good for my sonosub application.

Hi Mike Congrats on your completed Tempest sonosub!! I built a 222 litre Tempest with dual flared 4" port tuned to 17Hz in November. Almost identical to yours. That is exactly how we described ours "WOW". We think its great for music and movies. How do like yours for music? PeterV

hi bryan, i contacted the local concrete supply stores in my search for sonotube. the price varied between the 3 places i checked out. if i remember correctly the 22" diam., 6'length of sonotube was approx. $45US. they required i purchase at least a 6' length. one thing i'd...
