Cam, I am very happy with the JM Labs. They are very clear, and have great imaging. With good recordings you can close your eyes, and it sounds like they are playing right in front of you. It does not sound like it is comming out of the speaker itself. You just hear it like there is a stage in...
I have been finished for a few weeks now. It is awsome. Very tight, clean, smooth. Here are some numbers with no eq.

20- 88
22- 88

71- 93
80- 90
I think this is pretty good. A little jump at 45 &...
Ok, I will run it in stereo. I did mis-understand it. To me it sounded like it is ok to bridge and 8 ohm speaker. I did have this amp bridged before with my last sub. What could I have damaged by doing this. Everything sounded ok though. Boy, I hope I didnt hurt anything. Thank you all very much.
Here is exactly what it says "The recommended minimum nominal load impedance in the bridged mode is 8 ohms, which is equivalent to driving both channels at 4 ohms. Driving bridged loads of less that 8 ohms will result in a loss of power and possible thermal overload". I bridged the amp with my...
I have a Crest Audio 2 channel amp. 225 watts per side. Should I bridge the amp and run 1 speaker line, or keep the amp in stereo and run 2 lines since the Tempest has a dual voice coil. What are the advantages to each way. I currently have 1 high grade speaker wire that is only long enough for...
Yeah, that thing rocks. I cant wait to get mine running. I just started on it tonight. Mine is only a single though. I love music and movies loud. When I went there, I was use to the loud volumes, as I have a pretty good system. But, the base was incredible. U571- the depth charge scene, it felt...
I just ordered a tempest. they told me 3 days. 3 days later I recieved an e-mail from them telling me they were out of stock, and I would not recieve it until the middle of july. I cancelled the order and called ampmanaudio.com. He had it in stock, and told me 3-4 days, and it was $30 cheaper
It just goes to show you that, the most important part of a system is the speakers. You dont need to spend 5 grand on a processor (although that would be nice). The Denon is a great reciever for the money. I have the 3801
Yeah, Mike did give me a great demo. Let me say I was extremely impressed. I used to work in the audio video industry. I would hook up whole house audio systems, surround sound sytems, and many other things. I have a very good ear as I have heard many different brands of speakers and many...
Hey Patrick, I didnt know how exact these measurements needed to be. what about the enclosure size? Can I make it smaller than 10cu ft, and if so, what will I sacrifice. It will be 50% HT 50% Audio. I want the best possible sound, so I will make it to what ever size that is. Thanks to all for...
Ok, I will try again at the depot. That is one thing a hate about menards and the depot. A lot of people work there who know nothing about the things they deal with.
I will try a few more places for the 6", but so far the home depot, and menards here in the northern suburbs of Chicago dont carry that size. No, there is not a Lowes around here. Thanks
I am following your plans for your tempest. I have a built in subsonic filter in my amp, but it is at 8 hz. So, I like your idea of the 16.5 hz tunning. My problem is that I cant find 6" pvc. Can I use 4" pvc, or 8" sonotube. And if so, what lengths would these need to be to keep the same...
I am confused about first order, and fourth order. Also, what is a Butterworth filter? What is the answer for my original question? Do I need to get an EQ or something with a better, or adjustable subsonic filter? Thank you very much for your help and input. Rudy
I have a Crest Audio La901 amplifier. The manual says it has a built in 6db per octave high pass filter cornered at 8 hz to provide subsonic frequency protection. Is this good enough. I am looking to build my own sub, and was interested in a BFD. I read it did not have a subsonic filter. Will...
