I am now torn between the Tempest and the MkIV. I like that the MkIV is smaller, but I think the Tempest would really kick it into high gear when it comes to the bottom end. I know I'm probably getting into the territory of "not movable" stuff, but couldn't I just build the Tempest into a simple cyllindar design w/ a port similar to Warrick's sub? Obviously costs have gone down since he bought his!

I am also curious. Would this 250 watt plate amp be enough to power a monster like the Tempest?

I'll just keep editing this post :-) The more I look, the more I like the look, size, and simplicity of a of a cylendar sub w/ a port on top. Would there be a passive radiator involved? Do I HAVE to have it? Is it optional? Would it be worth it?
