Over the last couple of years I have been fortunate enough to replace a lot of my HT gear and need to store my old gear until I am ready to use it in a basement play/family room. The best place (as far as available space) is an un-insulated attic. I am in the north east and tempurature...

Can someone point me to a guide for installing an IR repeater system? Thanks

I have been living with my Maelstrom in a sealed 22" cube and like it. So far, it performs very well as far as I can tell. I have yet to finish the enclosure (veneer, etc) and have come to conclusion that cosmetically, the enclosure would look better if I had a downward firing driver. It is...

I am considering these two players, Pioneer DV563A vs Onkyo DVSP501. My main consideration is Progressive Scan capabilities. The Onkyo would compliment my NR900 and allow for automatically switching to the DVD input on the NR900 when the 501 powers on. The Pioneer offers SACD and...

Well after starting out to build a Tempest 2 1/2 years ago and then changing over to a Maelstrom, I finally have it up and running. The cosmetics are not yet complete. I used a custom sealed design, heavily braced (sixteen internal barces), roughly 24" cube. Net volume is 5.2 cu ft. I used...

As I posted in my "Maelstrom finally started" post, I am facing some obstacles screwing into the MDF panel for my Maelstrom subwoofer. I don't have any clamps to build the box and my first attempt on screwing and glueing some internal braces ended in near disaster with the MDF splitting. In...

After spending months designing and talking about a Maelstrom, I finally found the funds to start the project. It will be built to the specs I posted some months ago, a sealed "traditional" enclosure with a net volume (before stuffing) of 145 litres. I plan on using 7 1/2 lbs of polyfill...

I had decided to use the Adire AVA250 for my Maelstrom project becuase of it's features (auto on, phase control and cross over, configuration-plate amp). However, I would like a little more power. Any suggestions of other amps to look at? Thanks -

I have been contemplating picking up Johnny Nemonic and AirforceOne and didn't for these reasons, JN was too pricey in my opinion and AirforceOne was a flipper. The Price of NM went from $29.99 to $9.99 and at the same time I saw the superbit versions announced. Having liked the StarGate movie...

I have finalized the specs on my DIY tempest, a 202 litre (net) enclosure tuned to 17HZ, Thanks to alot of personalized help from Dan Wiggins at Adire and this messageboard. I had finally settled on the AVA250 to power the sub because of the excellent price/performance ratio. I recently...

I am putting the wraps on finalizing my Tempest plans and am now left with the enclosure materials. Adire Audio recomends void free birch plywood as first choice, I have seen many people recomend the MDF over the ply. Adding to the confusion is the recomendation to use teh ply for bracing and...

I will be starting my Tempest Subwoofer soon and was wondering, what do I cover screw heads with after box assembly? Wood putty, fiberglass...? Thanks -JohnA

I will be using void free birch plywood as suggested by Adire for their reference designs. The question I have is do I need to use T-Nuts with plywood or can I just mount the driver by screwing directly into the plywood. Thanks -JohnA
