Hey Guys, Two final questions. When I'm soldering my voice coils together(on a Tempest) how do I tell which side is which? :-x Secondly, has anyone here used a Part Express 250 plate amp? I'm just curious if it gets very hot on the inside. I don't want to have poly fill all around it if it gets...

Ahh, so if anything a blowing out my sub REALLY well and vaccuming(sp) the room should help? BTW it is the Plum Creek brand sold at Home Depot that I got. - Kevin

I know, that, I've only got to glue the bottom on and I'll be done. But it's got an overwelming smell(like when I was cutting) filling the room. Maybe just leaving it outside(under cover ;)) could possibly help? - Kevin

Hey, Now that my sub is nearing completion(probably 90% not including finish), I have a question. I personally can't stand the smell of the MDF. Is there any tricks to tone down the smell or even just get rid of it?!? Thanks, Kevin

Well, After lots of time, I'm almost finished :D Any of you that have built an Adire Alignment, was there a good order to glue the sides together in? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

Not wanting to invade your thread, but this would have been one of my next, thought I'd save some space ;) My questions is does anyone have any experience with any of the ones listed? So far I like the looks of the Spires and Dave Brown's Designs. Only thing is I didn't notice a tweeter on the...

Hey, Looks great imo. Really liked the veneer but from what I saw online I don't like the prices, all I saw were 4' x 8' sheets for like $150 :x Too rich for my tastes. - Kevin

Hey, I am just getting ready to order the last of my needs. With some luck I will have it done by Christmas :) What I need from you is some parts help. I already have the amp, the mdf is in my garage, and the driver will soon to be on its way. So far I planning on getting: Precision Port...

Looks great, I personally do like the back ground painted black myself. If you don't mind me asking, what the crap do you do for a living? :-P - Kevin

I appreciate the feedback(as I'd be lost without it ;)) and I think I'm leaning towards the seperate boxed plate amp idea. If I was to do that, is there an ideal place to mount the binding posts? For now it would seems the only place would be on the back(as there isn't much room on the bottom)...

Hey, A while back I asked opinions on a ported sub box for a Tempest. I decided on the either the SBB4 or the Adire Alignment. The only thing is I was going to get a Plate amp as it was suggested and there was a good deal at the time($100 for a 250w) but here's my dilemma. With the designs of...

No I haven't. Mind enlightening me with a link and what they're used for? :) - Kevin

Well, I bought the amp. I've got a 250w Plate Amp to work with now. :D As for the box, for the time being I may go with a SSB4 for the time being. One main thing being I can make it out of one sheet of MDF rather than having to buy another for only one or two pieces for the Adire Alignment...

Nice :D Just ordered myself one :) Thank you very much! - Kevin

I would probably purchase Plate Amp from PartsExpress unless there's any other recommendations in the range of $100-$125ish. Also, with their designs is there no indentation for the sub and it's just screwed into the bottom? Other's I've seen used two sheets and made the inner one's hole a...

Hello, I am starting to venture into the DIY audio catergory and have decided to build a sub. I am going with the Adire Audio Tempest for the moment but I need some help. Which box would be best for my needs? The room I will be using it in is approx 13x22 and it's 99% for HT use. As this is my...
