    Any DIY Tempest owners?

    I really don't know yet what I'll do with the sealed enclosure. I was hoping to talk the jazz loving friend into buying it. He's definitely interested in adding a sub to his system now, but I think I made a mistake and got him liking the ported one. I may end up having to build another one of...

    Any DIY Tempest owners?

    I just finished building both the mid Q sealed and ported designs out of sonotube. I just didn't know which I'd be happier with, and I figured building two enclosures wouldn't be too much harder than building one. This is a music only system, so I splurged on the Hypex HS-200 sub amp. Now I've...

    Found sonotube!! How much would I need with a 24" diameter, with a Tempest?

They have smaller offerings, but they're either less efficient or more expensive. I doubt you could get more of what you're looking for in...

    PE Amp ?

    Go ahead and make the enclosure for the amp. Just add binding posts that connect to the wires from the amp. Run speaker cables to binding posts in your sub enclosure. From there hook them to the amp. Voila! Kevin

    DIY Sub vs Commercial Sub

    I'm thinking dual Tumults as well. I'm also thinking how jealous I am. My whole setup didn't run that much, seriously. Kevin

    Ok, my Tempest project is about to begin, but I need to clear up some things...

    As far as the T-nuts go, I would have a layer of some other kind of wood on the inside of the baffle for them to "bite" into. OSB or something similar glued to the MDF would work fine. You may also want to use something like Liquid Nails to make sure the T-nuts are really stuck into the OSB...
