The question should be Atlas or Avalanche.

I used biscuits and Gorilla glue. The glue's expansive properties also ensure an air tight seal without caulking. Just make sure to wear gloves when using this glue or you will be wearing it for several days.

My Shiva blew out too. I went with the Atlas and have been very happy.

I would recommend using 1" MDF, which you should be able to order from a lumber yard for about $36. Take a look at the Atlas drivers from AscendantAudio. Very high quality and great customer service. I got the 12" Atlas and it is a beauty in looks and performance.

I used contact paper from Home Depot. I think it was $6 for a 24' x 18" roll. http://clubpolk.polkaudio.com/showca...=191_6_big.jpg

Home Depot has MDF. You can also go to a lumber yard where you could special order the 1" variety.

I used a pile of biscuits and Gorilla Glue. No screws needed so no holes to fill.

I was in contact with him through email today and he had some alternate suggestions.

I guess whatever the problem is the Shiva is now a BIG paper-weight.

Let me rephrase about the noise, when there is very little signal I hear a fuzzy sound faintly. After looking at the sub diagram it seems that something is rubbing on the coil, which explains the sound I hear when manually move the cone. Which driver is the BP1203? I think I should find a 15"...

That was with the analog RS meter, uncorrected. What would be some recomendations for a 15" sub using the Rythmik 350 amp?

It bottomed out several times over a few minutes and I adjusted the gain to stop it. Is there any way for me to visually inspect the driver? Does my description of rubbing nylon make sense?

The sound level it was producing was fine for me, until this problem started. I am at work right now so I will need to wait until I get home to look at it again. The best I could describe the sound when manually moving the cone the last time I tried it is like rubbing nylon. I was careful to...

I sent him my house floorplan and drew in the component layout. Budget wasn't an issue.

He is the one who recommended the Shiva.

I emailed AcousticVisions today and am waiting to hear from them. Thanks for all the help guys. I wasn't relating the use of a splitter to this problem. I was just wondering if using a splitter is done by others.

The only sound I get when pushing on the cone is sort of like nylon rubbing nylon but it moves smoothly.

It still makes that crackling sound when not receiving any signals. It works but the bass sounds unclear. Is there a way for me to easily view the coil or do a manual test? Is it correct to use a splitter to feed both the l and r inputs? I only saw it mentioned once on theis board.

It had been working for some hours before this without making these sounds. It would bottom at certain times but this is something different. Is it possible I blew the driver? I can see where a 15" driver should be used for this big a space. I consulted several places before building the box...

I just built a 95L vented box with a 12" Shiva downfiring and Rythmik 350 amp. I am not sure but I think I may have damaged the speaker or amp. After playing some heavy bass it started making a crackling/buzzing sound that is especially noticable when the sub is not actively playing. The gain is...

I tried "Gangsta Bounce" with my newly built 12" Shiva in a 95L vented box. Any idea how far down it goes. I was reading 108db on the sound meter at 10 ft. in a 40'x25' room with 10 ft. ceilings.

Is there any performance gain with flush mounting the driver? My box is downfiring so cosmetically it doesn't matter.
