Hello,
First-time DIYer here looking to build a small but powerful sub. I posted earlier this year and was primarily steered toward an isobaric Shiva application. Now with talk of this new Brahma driver, I'm wondering if that advice holds true.
Essentially I need a very small enclosure (I'm sure my wife would love if I decided to get a Sunfire, if that gives you any indication). But, as usual, I want excellent performance. Good extension, tight, room-shaking . My original thought was a shielded clamshell isobaric Shiva in about 27 liters (half the 54 liters of a Q = 0.707 enclosure). With everyone raving about the upcoming Brahma, I decided to see if someone thought a Brahma-based solution would be a better performer while maintaining that volume (or less if I can get away with it).
Those that would recommend the Brahma over the Shiva, what would you recommend for powering it? I have a room with quite a bit of cubic feet to fill (cathedral ceilings) and I've heard people talking about feeding it 1000 watts, but I have yet to find a plate amp with that rating.
Thanks.
