ok, i've had an Adire Audio 12" Shiva in a 8 cu ft enclosure ported to 15 Hz for about 3 or 4 years, and it's now making that medium pitch rattling sound like it's been blown. Which doesn't surprise me, i've bottomed it out several times and I figure one of the voice coils finally gave out and bent. Yes i said 8 cubic feet and 15 hertz.
I go to Adire's website, and they're closing operation??? I had previously intended to upgrade to a tempest when the shiva blew, but i can't now that they closed. I have a CVT-300S amplifier that I got from Apex Jr.
What high quality hard hitting sub would work good for a replacement? It's floorloaded FYI. The base has room for up to a 18" Subwoofer (i'd have to add another amp though and use a DVC 4 ohm sub). Right now the shiva is wired in parallel for a 4 ohm load (dual 8 ohm coils) to get all 300 watts out of the amp. I've looked at Dayton from parts express, and they're MKIII takes 800 watts and a single coil, so that won't work for my application. Another has the right wattage but isn't build for the big enclosure and doesn't have the Fs and xmax of the shiva.
