Bryan, I come from the same kinda thing, car audio. We are spoiled with much more ease in getting loud bass. Getting something in your HT to blow your socks off will be difficult, and possibly structurally dangerous :) I have a 240L Tempest sonosub ported to ~17hz. It's in a pretty big...

Pictures and reviews/comments from this DIY meet would be so very appreciated by many of us. So any with the luck of attending this meet, it would be super if you could spread the love :) Thanks for sharing some info Alan, Bob, and Steven.

I cant remember for sure the horns at Helm's Deep, but the Elven horn I remember, the blew it when they came to help. The horn that was blown when they opened the gates of Mordor was impressive. It felt like I was in a hockey arena and the home team scored. Loud :D OMG a Tempest in a dorm...

If I'm thinking correctly, isnt a 65L sealed Tempest tuned rather high, esp compared to a big ported Tempest? My 240L ported Tempest tuned to ~18hz does a pretty good job, but no Chest slapping. Thats afaik due to higher tuning frequency. Though the gates of Mordor opening is full of house...

Well in my own experience and humble opinion. I see no reason that a car audio sub, even one designed for car use, cant provide a moderately enjoyable HT experience. In my case I had an MTX 12" Thunder 5000 series sub. It was in a 1.5 cu ft ported box. 4" port. It was of course tuned quite...

I'm agreeing with Travis and Allen on this one. I love my vented Tempest to pieces for movies. Its just unbelievable. Music is pretty good but like Allen said, it doesnt seem to handle certain bass drum sounds. It seems to work way too hard. I dont know why. I'm assuming it has something to...

Lots of information here, thanks guys. Wow Frank, it was just that simple? Now that's sensitive, move your listening position and sub by a foot each and you solve the 30db prob, nice. Hehe Anthony, wouldn't a peak be easier to fix than a null usually? Well I guess a 60hz peak would be pretty...

I have built my 240L vented Tempest (17hz) and been enjoying it for over a month, despite the terribly unflat in-room response. I finally got the time and energy to take it apart and inspect the inside, as I was giving up to the point of deciding it must be a design/construction error. What I...

Whatever you do decide to go with, let us know when you're done how they turned out, and with pics if you have them. That's some of the best stuff in this part of the forum, seeing everyones stuff and how they turned out. Heck, keep us informed along the way if you feel like it. Great stuff to...

Ok theres definately some good points here, and Anthony brought up one I hadnt thought of at the time. I was limiting my top of the line ceiling mentally to companies like, say, SVS. Anthony brings up the other companies like Krell with product pricing that would be insane to most of us. Seeing...

Hello, This is in regards to the new breed of super subs with their 2" or so p-p excursion. Specifically the Tumult. I know more about Adire drivers than the other respected companies. This is also a bit early, in that it looks like many havn't recieved their Tumults yet. I definately look...

Jonathan, It seems so much simpler now that I see it :) Thanks for clearing that up. Dan

Hey Guys, Definately plenty of info on this forum, but what I havnt been able to find in browsing it all and searching is how they calculate the driver displacement, ie how adire says the Tempest displaces over 2.5L of swept volume, Tumult 5L etc. From what I've seen it may be xmax x Sd? Then...

Definately a great show, always alot going on, and done very well at that. As for things to come, wow who knows eh: 1: I think he's already left the job, I believe he said so, eg he got a lot of "good luck man". So basically he's screwed out of any good reporting job as you say, everyone...

Shoot, I missed it. Was this a friday night show? This guy is hilarious.

Hello, I stopped by LiveWire today in Windsor to check out the Monitor 7's and also the rest of the line. I did like the Monitor 7's, definately better than the bookshelves in the series. The whole Monitor series was there to listen too, and all were V3's except the 5's. The demo was run off...

Actually Rob, I dont yet own a PW-2200. Still deciding all of the options. Sorry if I missworded my post. I have definately thought about a DIY, and especially a Tempest based one since I've heard good things about it. I actually do have tools and experience, I have built a few sub enclosures...

Wow, thanks everyone. I guess thats decided ;) I was just learning that fact when I started this thread, and am now completely clued-in to the importance of the center channel. The 370 is now the priority over the 170. Thanks again. No prob Phil Dan

Hello, Although I have heard that even the CS line from SVS has more output and extensio than the PW-2200, I am basicaly limited to it because of the cost living in Canada, so my option is either: Dual PW-2200 Servo-15 Tempest based DYI I would love to know how a dual PW-2200 setup...

Hello, I've been reading up, designing my HT setup for about a month now, and have basically narrowed it down to a Paradigm setup, esp. since I live in Canada. Bang for the buck is the goal here. I was gonna match Monitor speakers with the cheaper cc170 center to save cash, though recently I...
