Okay, the sub is built and ready to be run through the tests. Here are my final questions: 1.) When I say "tests," I'm clueless as to what all that encompasses. ie: what do I do to see if it is tuned correctly, air-tight, and overall, a good build. I know many people will be compelled to...

Well, the weekend saw a lot of work done. I ended up doing a box that is 26" deep and wide and 33" high. The bracing consists of one "A" brace and two strips of MDF going through the hole in the "A" brace as well as two strips running top to bottom. Right now, the sides of the box are all...

Well, I found some sonotube for sale, but they only sell it in 12 foot increments. With the volume I was looking at, (11ft^3), I would need a fairly wide piece. I was thinking of about 3 feet tall and 30 inch diameter. 12 feet of 30 inch diameter sonotube runs about $160. That's too much, so...

I'll offer an X-Box (about 6 months old, in original box), two controllers, six games, and some cash. Let me know.

This project just took a major turn for the worse. I just got an email saying that the Tempest I ordered is unavailable for delivery (backordered, I guess). So, given that it seems the concensus is that the Tempest won't be available for over a month, what to do now? I've now bought two...

I am also looking to build a Adire Alignment Tempest. I also purchased the Rythmik 350 from Kyle. In addition, I bought two 3" flared ports from Adire Audio. Finally, I have two sheets of Birch. My only problem, like yours, is that the Tempest is on back order everywhere. I actually paid for...

Also, I went and bought the 64 oz of polyfill recommended. How do I stuff it? I just did a search and it came back with numerous answers. Do I line the outside, or do I just throw it in there? Also, to confirm, the braces are held only by glue? It just seems weird to me that that would be true...

So the screws should be removed after the glue dries? Does that mean that regular wood glue can be counted on to hold this thing together for years? Is there a brand of glue you recommend? Wad

I bought the wood today (Baltic Birch - it was on sale). I have some very "this is my first time" questions. Do I just use glue to hold the sides together, or is it glue and screws? How do I hold the braces in place? Finally, how do I attach the legs (again, glue or glue and...

Do you guys think that the PartsExpress 300-804 (240 watts) would be enough? I've read good things about this amp. Is that enough, or should I jump up to the Rythmik Audio 350? They are close in price ($110 vs. $140), so I am fairly indifferent. Or should I even go to the Parts Express...

Thanks for the replies Graham and Kurt. So, cutting a hole for the plate amp is okay? It will not be a problem as far as air flow, etc (I guess my real question is: Will cutting a hole for the plate amp sacrifice the air-tightness of the enclosure?)? Also, thank you both very much for the...

Okay, after a long time roaming these forums, I finally decided to get started on my first DIY subwoofer. So, I registered, and before I start, thought I would ask the experts. My current audio: Receiver: Pioneer VSX-1014 Front and Back Speakers: Polk RT55i (-3dB limits: 47Hz - 25 kHz)...
