how much power will be enough depends on the enclosure size and if its vented or sealed. I have my tempest in a huge vented enclosure and 250 watts is plenty to bottom out the driver. But if i go put that amp on my 25 Liter sealed shiva I cant get it very close to Xmax.

What size enclosure are you looking at? I would say definatly go for the tempest if you can live with the large enclosure. I've messed with bot hsubs (well my shiva was a MkIII) and the tempest really does have a lot more power in the low end. Thats not to say the shiva is a slouch by any means its just it doesnt shake the room witth the same authority as the tempest does.
