As far as build and power goes it's excellent. It's got a large toroidal transformer to power it and seems to have plenty of headroom. To be honest, I'm sure a 300W amp has enough power, I just bought the 500W one because I didn't want to have to buy another amp if it didn't have enough grunt...

I've got one in my sealed tempest and it works a treat. I would have thought that you'd get better value for money in the U.S. though? I only went with BK because I'm based in the U.K. Cheers Simon

IVL has remastered the discs, but you need to livein HK for them to honor replacements (per licensing agreement). So we're screwed Does this mean there are now better quality discs available from Hong Kong? I'm keen to get hold of these films but as I haven't seen them I'm reluctant to part...

If you dont compensate for different values (0, -10, -15, etc.) then theres no point of charting the response. Sorry Charles, don't really follow you here? I'm referring to the correction values I've seen on the web along the lines of 10Hz +2dB, 15Hz +1.5dB etc. ie. an adjustment to the reading...

I've just completed (apart from painting/veneering) a DIY sub based on the Adire Audio Low Q Sealed Tempest design. It sounds fantastic although I'm sure it occasionally hit's a room peak or something ( Madonna's Ray Of Light is a pretty good test CD for low Bass ). Anyway, I've just got a Radio...

I've just (nearly) completed the 230L Sealed Tempest and it sounds excellent. Mine is downfiring with 'feet' made out of the 4" circles that were cut out of the bracing pieces. The box is glued up but not yet painted/veneered so I can't really call it finished! I'm sure it would be fine in a...

I'm building a box rather than a tube based sub so it shouldn't be too difficult to mount the amp on one of the sides. As far as the vibrations go, I'm not too worried as 'plate-amps' are designed to be mounted in speaker cabinets, and aesthetically it'll be much easier to get by the misses if...

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I'm sold on the sealed Tempest, and am about ready to start ordering parts. One question, if I order a 'plate-amp' to mount in/on the enclosure should I change the dimensions of the box to make up for the air displaced by the amp or would a bit more...

Hi, I'm about to embark on a DIY Sub, my first, and just wanted some re-assurance that I'm on the right path.... Initially I was considering more esoteric ideas, such as ELF / Linkwitz transforms etc. but have now decided that I should learn to walk before trying to run. I'm pretty much sold on...
