I would like to build a set of home theater speakers. The line array design looks intriguing. Has anyone built a set of these? If so how do they sound? Were they built from a kit? Also I have heard they are very directional. Any comments would be appreciated
Several years ago Wood Magazine published a set of plans in their magazine. I actually built this set. You may try and archive search on thier site. IF you cannot find it I think I may still have the book. I can send pictures of the one I built and try to scan the magazine if I can find it. Steve
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunatly I cannot move the sub because of the room layout. It is really an odd shaped room. Unless I do some MAJOR reconstruction on the house at great expense, I am stuck with it. Maybe I am worried about nothing. I think it sounds awesome. Looking at the jaw...
I finally got around to testing my Tempest Adire Alignment Sub. The corrected data is below. It seems like I have a dramatic drop off around 56 Hz. I am running a PE250 watt amp. Any suggestions as to what could cause such a drop off? I think it could be my room as I have a large room with very...
Kevin, I built the sub you are looking at. I used the plans from the web site and had no problem at all. I did not want something that looks like a water heater in my living room so I used the Adire Alignment. When I have people at the house for a demo it is always nice to see their jaw drop...
This may sound nuts but I was having problems with the saw burning. I used a bar of soap for a lubricant. Just touched it a couple of times each hole. It cut great.

Jason,
I built the same sub. What I did is cover the 4 sides with 1/4 oak plywood. On the corners I butted up 2 pieces of 1 inch wide oak. These oak strips are solid wood 1/4 thick. I picked them up at Home Depot. Once attached I cut a radius on the corner with my router. For the top I used...
I just finished an Adire Alignment Tempest Sub. It sounds awesome and it is not even broke in yet. Once it is broken in I would like to measure the response characteristics. I have a laptop and an Radio Shack meter. Is there a way to measure this without investing a lot of cash for test...
Kerry,
Glad that your pleased with the design. I am building the exact same sub. I just cut out the panels to build the box last night. Should be done in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. I have a swimming pool outside about 15 feet from my sub. My goal is to get ripples on the pool. Pretty sick...
George,
That is some fine craftmanship. I have also been debating on what legs to put on and how to finish it. After seeing your design, I have made up my mind. Nice Work!!
Steve
James,
It sounds like you are having problems with delivery from Adire. How long have you been waiting. I am going on 2 1/2 weeks. It was supposed to ship last week but I dont think it has yet. Still no promise date.
