For the first few months I had no overheating issues with my PE 250 in my EBS Shiva. Now when I play music (I have a VSXD811 turned volume to 46) for more than a half hour, the PE 250 is HOT to the touch. I know this was brought up at least once before but I could not find that post. Anyone have...
I am looking to buy a 17"LCD monitor from Dell today. I noticed in the Deals section, there is $40 off an order over $350 plus Dell has 5% of monitors, both offers expire today. First, when do you think another deal similar will come around? The big question is, WHAT TO BUY? I am looking to...
I have measured the doorways in both my dorn and home and the SBB4 would fit. Also, I mainly listen to rap, rock, and some techno music. So I do like bass.
I just completed my EBS Shiva 2 weeks ago. My stepfather is now looking to get a sound system to go with the 54" Hitachi HDTV he bought last year. He is impressed with my Shiva and I told him I might sell it to him. So assumue I sell my EBS Shiva. I was looking a vented Tempest. I really...
I did not use any sound deadener. I only used polyfill. Update: It is now 99% finished. Tomorrow I have to drill the holes to mount the amp and the Shiva. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll try to get pics of it. I feel like a proud new father:D
Saturday update. It is now about 1:45pm and I have all except one side finished with 3 coats of the Duplicolor Bedliner. I like the way that it looks. I do think that I like it more than hammered (but I have never seen a whole box completed in person in hammered). It is very easy to work with...
friday update: I primered the whole box with Kilz. I got 2 coats on the whole box and at least 4 coats on the corners where the MDF was cut. Then I was on a quest to get more polyfill and the Duplicolor bedliner. I got the polyfill at Walmart with no problem. As for the bedliner I...
well something else is throwing off my plans. I have the whole box together and stuffed, I just have to do the final sanding today. I was planning on primering the box today but it is only 25 degrees out today and I cannot finish it in the house because we have brids that are sensitive to...
thanks for letting me know that the hammered takes a bit longer than I have. I do not want to leave it naked so I think I'll primer it and then use a base of black for now. One question, should I spray paint or roll on the black?
anyone have any sugestions for what I should finish it with? Many in other threads have said to use black hammered. What are some other options I should consider? Thanks
I am only 20 and my hairline seems to be going back further each time I get my haircut. It is the spot above my temple. Each time I get it cut, there is more and more vidible forehead. All of the males in my family are not bald, my 75 year old grandfather's hair is not even thinning. What...
wednesday is now complete. I fell behind a bit as I have just one more side to gule and clamp tomorrow before I can sand and primer. Today took longer because I was a little off on the interneal bracing and then I cut the driver cut-out too large:angry: and also cut one of the port holes...
well now I am done for tuesday. I got all of the cutting finished (except for the cutout for the amp). I glued and screwed together the internal bracing. Then I got the front and two sides glued together and are clamped as I type this. Tomorrow before work I plan on taking the clamps...
Ok, I am going with dual 3" 20"long ports in my EBS Shiva. Is there any difference for the placement of the ports? Should they be side by side? One on each side of the driver? Will there be any difference? Thanks
Today I began my DIY Shiva with the PE 250 watt amp. I am going with the EBS design from adire's website. I am only able to work on this for an hour or two each day so it might take all week. Today I got all of the MDF cut. Tomorrow (tuesday) I am going to cut the holes in the braces, do...
anyone have any experience with the 250watt PE amp versus the Rythmik 350 watt plate amp? The Rythmik seem to be more power for just about $20 more. Is it really that much more power (I know the PE says 250 and the rythmik site says theirs is 380 watts). Just curious if anyone has any real...
