My Pr is fixed and the system sounds very nice. I am having a problem with my Shiva bottoming out though. I was running a gain of +5db on my Denon 3801 but I changed this to +0Db and that did not change anything. Should I lower the sub all the way down to -12DB and turn up the amp? I am...

There is one more thing I would recommend and that is to get an independent ground for each outlet. You can purchase these types of outlets and if your house is newer then you might already have this. It is best that you connect these wires directly to the grounding of your house however you...

I am looking forward to it! I am also building an enclosure for use with the vent that I purchased. I am having to do my own design on it since I will be using it as an end table. I am still in the design phase trying to keep it as close to a vented EBS alignment as possible. I am going to...

Yes knowing the problem now I am sure the Shiva will sound great. I was disappointed to learn that they were out of stock. I have been a faithful Velo HGS person for a good while and now my HGS is for sale. I sealed my existing driver and played some music through it HOLY JEEPERS BATMAN! I...

Kyle Richardson and I discovered the problem. The PR is apparently not functioning correctly. Just goes to show the level of service Kyle provides. Above and beyond every step of the way! I am waiting for another PR to arrive and when it does I will test it and also I will test a vented...

I want to thank everyone for their advice. The PR was tuned too high as I used the wrong mass calculations for the PR. I corrected and tuned to the EBS alignment per Adire specs and this solved the problem. Now my Shiva is bottoming out around 25hz. I tested once again for air links and all...

I finally finished my Adire Shiva/PR sub (EBS alignment) and I am having a problem with the PR. I used Avia and THX optimode disks to do LFE sweeps and around 35hz I believe the PR is resonating and going ballistic all the way out and all the way in and also from 28hz down to 20hz the PR sounds...

FOr my rectangular holes I used a straight jig on a a plungs router to get the edges I needed. I stopped short of the cornes about 1/4 inch thouch so that I would not have rounded corners. I have a very small detail snder with an attachment for sanding inside corners. I spent a good while...

I prefer to use the black silicon caulk available at HD. it costs more but if your sub is black it looks much better than having a bunch of white mildew free caulk around your port. You could always paint it but most subs are too heavy to be carrying around all over the place. My wife tried...

I'll join in DTS EX is preferred.

Patrick I sympathize with you on the AFS weed eater thing. I USED to do all of the edging / weedeating barefooted. Now thanks to my new Automatic foot slicer I have to wear shoes to do this stuff. and yes it is hot and humid here in Dallas as well and tonight when I get home from work I get...

I have DIY burnout but not from home theater DIY! I am tired of making furniture for my wife. I am in the middle of making a canopy bed and I find myself putting it off so I can finish my sub! I am not even finished with the sub and I am looking at making new rear speakers myself...

I recently ordered a Shiva / PR15 / Plate Amp and a few other minor goodies from Kyle Richardson at Acoustic Visions and the service level I received was SUPERB! Never have I worked with a person more dedicated to customer satisfaction. Kyle contacted me quickly everytime I had a question and...

My son loves Rock em Sock em robots. He has the Remote controlled kind. They are pretty cool. HE has several sets but they only operate on 2 frequencies so he lines them up and charges them at each other then about 75$ of them fly up in the air. Not quite like the ones I had when I was a...

Thanks for the link! It worked out very well. I will call them today to check on the NHT Amp pricing.

Shade, Keep me informed. I have at least decided this much. I am going to get a plate amp for now and install it in a different box to match my sub box which I should hopefully have finished in about 3 weeks. I wish it was sooner but I am moving into amy new house this weekend and the wife...

I was hoping to spend less than 2K for this amp. I was looking at the Hybex Amp through Adire. For 2K I will purchase another Velo HGS and sabotage it for its amp. ------------------

This may sound like a crazy newbie question to most however it is something I have never dealt with before. I am working on building a Shiva/PR15 enclosure and I am wondering which type of amp I should use. I have always purchased my subs prebuilt in the past and have never had to worry...

I have a seperate question concerning internal vent holes for a sealed Shiva/PR enclosure. I am currently building the sealed 142.5L EBS alignment and I am wondring if I should leave the internal vent holes on the cross braces with a right angle on the edges or if I should round these edges...
