I suggest listening to the speakers first and deciding afterward whether you want a sub or not. The 261's get down VERY low with authority. Room size and personal tastes may dictate that you don't need a subwoofer. This could save you that $100+ to use elsewhere. Just to get you an idea...

GrahamT What's really funny is that we have a video on our site of the Brahma's literally doing this in Scottie Johnson's van. :D Steven Kephart Adire Audio

Don't judge the Extremis 6 by it's price. Sure we are offering it for a very low price, but the performance will be in a class way beyond what that price may imply. Steven Kephart Adire Audio

I don't know if it helps, but I'm an apartment dweller as well and I run a sealed Koda 10. It definitely has enough to shake the walls more than my neighbors would like. Heck, if you are already planning on spending Tumult money, why not go with dual Koda 10's and then be able to knock the...

BTW, another benifit of the recone is you get all the new Mark II soft part, and better cooling due to the vents in the new basket. Steven Kephart Adire Audio

Semi OT, but I recomend using clear plexi for building your circle jig next time. Then just measure from the bit to the jig, make a mark, match that mark with the center of the hole you want to cut, use a small drill bit to drill through the jig and into the wood, and remove the drill bit from...

I definitely had a blast as well. You guys are crazy with those designs. From flower pots, to birds (tweeters?), to enclosures with more weight from screws than wood, there were some very creative setups. Those Emerald Towers made me want to watch the Wizard of Oz. I told Dan that next time...

I have a feeling I'm going to be building an enclosure for the one's we have this week as well. Also, we got the Parthanon in this week and will have that set up for you guys to see. Steven Kephart Adire Audio

A few weeks ago.

The Extremis 4's coming in also have the new phase plug which will extend the response out to 20 kHz. We still have the MTM setup shown at CES using the Extremis 6 and ribbon tweeters. Of course my favorite thing to listen to still is the Sadhara. I have fallen in love with the way it sounds...

Here's the situation. My grandpa is well off. He lives with my parents, who take care of him. He can't see very well, and after experiencing a big screen at my uncles, he would like one. So they are shopping for a big screen, with my help. He seemed to like the size of the 65" TV's. What I'm...

A friend of mine is a Resonant Engineering dealer. You can find his web site here: http://www.visionaryaudio.com/

Yeah, it was difficult. The only thing missing was he didn't have the same shape in the pole piece. And now I'm not sure if that is required. Especially since his FEA curves were almost exact.

Just in case you guys haven't seen this, Adire finally released how XBL2 works to the public. Here's the link: http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/XBL2DetailsPaper.pdf

1. The best free box building program is WinISD Pro alpha. Make sure you download the Pro. You can find it at www.linearteam.org . 2. This really depends on you. The sub they include in WinISD is the 2412. So if they didn't make any changes, then the sub seems to require a very large box (for...

Very good questions, and very good answers thus far. I just want to add that although the Peerless does have a better efficiency at 1 watt, once the sub starts moving that changes. My guess is that the Peerless unit has a parabolic BL curve, so it's efficiency will go down as it loses BL with...

We usually make our own. Just buy a piece of plexiglass, and cut it round on one side to fit around the base of your router. All you have to do is figure out the radius of the circle you want to cut, measure from the router bit (depending on if you are cutting the inside or outside of speaker...

Those curves look good. I am trying to reply without breaking my oath to Adire about not telling how it works. So I think I can comment on two problems I can see without there being a problem. First of all, I think Adire has a little more control over the curve than you do in your design...

My favorite "DIY" project is in a car. It is the most amazing display of equipment ever concieved. Here's the link. If you guys enjoy fabrication, then I highly suggest you look through the install photos first. It will show you how they did it. But also each new thing they start building will...

Thanks Kyle, that was exactly it. I looked throught that section several times and couldn't find it. How odd. Thanks again for the help. I really appreciate it.

Actually I've been involved in a speculation discussion similar to this that spanned two forums. Maybe our thoughts might give you more information. Here's the links: http://www.teamamp.com/ibf/index.php...t=5344&hl=xbl2 We continued the discussion on Acoustic Visions's forum in the car audio...

Hello all. First of all as a car stereo guy, I just wanted to clear up that you don't get that 12 dB per octave boost from plexi unless you pull the SPL limiters out of the sub and dye the cone of the sub the brightest neon color out there. A rule of thumb: if it looks loud, it is loud. :)...
