    Blown Shiva EBS

    What type of enclosure/setup are you using with the Atlas? I checked out the website and it looks promising for the next sub. Anyone else using the Atlas?

    Blown Shiva EBS

    Yes, the spider has separated from the basket. I wonder if this can be glued back? I am not sure if the coil is shot. I can look at this later. I replaced the driver with a new one and all is good. The last major boom scene in AVP caused this. I believe that the BFD may have gone into some...

    What is the Atlas? Luckily, I have an extra Shiva in a box for a backup.

    Blown Shiva EBS

    Hello, I watched Alien vs. Predatur last night at my normal reference level. The shiva is toast. The enclosure is an EBS design tuned to 18.1hz. Any ideas on what to do next? Would an Adire Alignment be better at protecting the driver? I am using a Parts Express plate amp with a Behringer FBD...

    I hope that is all that it was. I did some further tweaking last night. It looks awesome. HD material is outstanding. I am using a Samsung SIR-T351 and just plain old rabbit ears. Russ

    New Toshiba 46H84 with a problem - Please Help

    I purchased it at BB. This morning the display had its problem for a few hours, but after that it has been fine. The TV has been on all day and the display has been fine for 12+ hours. I will monitor it over the next few days. I wonder what caused this problem. Thanks.

    New Toshiba 46H84 with a problem - Please Help

    I just had this delivered today. Initial opinion was very high, but after 8 hours of viewing, I am noticing that the display flickers/adjusts from normal blacks to green. The entire display content has too much green drive or not enough red and blue. Has anyone here experienced this with this...

    Check out my home theater link for a 142.5L Shiva with a base stand. Very easy with the MDF. It is not cosmetically finished, but the sound is incredible.

    SACD Formats and Suggestions

    Hello, I am new to SACD and would like to pick up some CD's to here what SACD is all about. After viewing a few websites on titles, I am confused about formats. I see the word Hybrid Stereo and Hybrid M/C. What does it mean when the word Hybrid is used? Are there any other formats for SACD? I...

    Front-firing sub in dedicated media room...

    ThomasW, I have a 250w plate amp that I want to use with my new sub. Would this be enough to drive the 1804 to respectable levels until I purchase a larger amp? Currently, I am using a single Shiva EBS in a 12x13 room and this will be replaced by something new. I will play with the alignments...

    RS SPL Meter Response ?

    Hello, I am using an old RS Meter Cat No. 42-3019 and the documentation states that the response in C weighted is flat from 35hz to 7Khz (+-3db). I am using the PEQ spreadsheet and other spreadsheets to plot the room, but I am not sure about the corrections below 35hz. Anybody out there using...

    How to stop the ringing

    I had some batting lying around the house and I glued it to the walls of the tube. This fixed the ringing. Just 1/2" of polyfil on the walls made all the difference in the world. I am thinking about changing my tune from 21.5 to 18.1hz for testing purposes. This is the EBS tune anyway...

    How to stop the ringing

    Hello, I have been listening to my 142.5|21.5hz Shiva and notice that there is ringing in the enclosure. It is a 14" diameter PVC pipe. What can I use to deadon the enclosure? Egg crate foam or polyfill batting lining the enclosure? How will this affect the overall design? I placed a Nerf...

    I want a new sub; not sure what type. ???

    The roll off was at the upper range of the spectrum. Yes, it does go to 20hz. I had thought of the EBS, but not sure. What I want to do is replace my Shiva EBS with something more. Will the Tempest EBS be a noticable step up?

    I want a new sub; not sure what type. ???

    What about a dual Tempest design. I have searched, but have not had any luck with results. Do you have any guidelines for duals? After looking at the Maelstrom Alignments from Adire, it appears that the roll off is around 60hz. Is this a bad thing for LFE? Thanks, Russ

    I want a new sub; not sure what type. ???

    I plan on moving my Shiva to a second listening room. The problem that I see with the current setup is that the sub is localized due to the small room and sitting so close to the speaker. During movies and music, the low frequencies appear to be omni-directional, but you can feel the increased...

    I want a new sub; not sure what type. ???

    Hello, I am pondering the idea of a new sub. Something along the lines of the Maelstrom or multiple Titanic MKIII 12's/15's. Is there an advantage to the Maelstrom over the multiple drivers? This is for HT use so the deep extension is desired, but the appeal of a sealed sub sounds good also. Why...

    Hello, I want to thank Thomas for the idea of using the Nerf Football in my subwoofer port. The sub is a 142.5l 21hz tuned Shiva. I was experiencing extreme port noise at

    Question on Sinewaves and Port Noise

    Hello, I am still having a blast with my new sub. Just installed a BFD and am making very good progress towards integrating the sub into the room. Why do I hear port noise when playing sinewaves and rarely hear port noise with regular program material? Just curious. Thanks, Russell

    Sealed 142.5L Shiva

    I used a PE 4" Flared port. It is around 13" total (including flares) for a tune around 21hz. So, I have ~5" next to the adjacent surface. Could that cause the chuffing? How can you get away with using anything smaller than a 14"id tube? I could not imagine using a 12" and a 4" flare. This sub...
