PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!! After consulting with Adire, I determined my driver was bad out of the box. (Thanks for the tech support Adire) I contacted Bob Reimer @ Creative Sound Solutions (where I bought it from) and a replacement driver was on its way the next day - Salute Bob job well...

Thanks Michael, The problem still remains (when using on the mains) although not as pronounced (I assume this is cause by higher frequencies hiding the sound more). I'll talk to Dan tomorrow Don

thanks for all your responses, Daniel I am using an HK525 as my main amp the jvc is the sub's amp it doesn't have a sub out nor do i need to have a sub out Isaac, the HK525 is brand new and unlikely to be causing the problem, I do think you are right re VC rub as the bad sound is most...

It sounds its worst at low volumes and gets better (not perfect though) as the volume increases Thanks for your replies don

Just another thought, my jvc (the sub amp) has a graphic analyzer built in, when the sub is playing the bars on the analyzer show all frequencies being used (with more emphasis on the lower frequencies) i don't know if this is right or not. If not it would imply my main amp is not performing the...

Yes, it is all frustration. Sorry, I know the tone was bad, I was taken my frustrations out on the keyboard. (My first stress relief choice would have probably involve a plane and 88.5 litre box falling out of it) I will try some of your suggestions, unfortunately I only have one amp (outside...

I am on my second DIY sub, I built a vented adire ebs shiva 142 litre sub, and it sounded awful, it was buzzy (sounded like slapping the side of a big rubber air filled ball). So my concensus was 'air leak' so i sealed and resealed and retested then reseal retested etc etc. The sound would not...

Thanks Dan for replying, The receiver is connected by two channels, one channel to each terminal on the cup, + to + and - to -. The sub -receiver (sub amp) is connected throught its cd inputs to the main receiver sub preout via y adaptor rca cords. I am sure everything is connected...

Geoff, Thanks for your response. If I understand you correctly, your saying the correct wiring is simply wiring one of the cup pair (+ and -) to one VC and the other cup pair to the other vc. You would wire each of them pos (cup) to pos (vc) and neg (cup) to neg (vc). Also don't install the...

THE SUB'S LIFE IS IN PERIL AGAIN. I had thought I had fixed the problem, but I was wrong.:b (Allen R. you still may get your wish) A question for Jeremy S (or anyone else with a similiar setup), internally I wired a + & - wire from each cap input to each VC. I did not wire the vc in parellel...

Thanks for the replies, THE SUB WILL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY! Stupid me, I took the brass connectors (connecting the pos and negs) off the dual input cup and forgot all about them. I started reading about parellel wiring and realized what I had done. I put them back on and presto a well...

AGGGGGHHHH!!! I am having a little trouble with my 142.5 shiva ebs sub that i just built. I disappointed with the sound especially at lower volumes ~70 dbs. The sound is distorted, buzzy at these levels and seems to improve somewhat at higher levels (still not perfect though). It is...
