I just got done with my Tempest EBS sub. That thing is a beast. I think I've gotten everything in place. I put it where my old sub was which performed fairly well. My problem is the amount of bass. Either one of two things is wrong:
I was expecting more bass than I got
Or I am not getting the bass I am supposed to
Here is my exact setup: One Tempest, 250W plate amp from Acoustic Visions, two 4" full length ports, 64oz of stuffing, solid EBS box with caulking and wood glue.
When the real low bass comes in my stuff falls off the shelf in my bathroom but my teeth aren't shaking like I thought they would. Some of the bass in LOTR is good and some isn't. I tried my scene in the Matrix where she jumps in the air to kick the guy (right at the beginning) and the teeth rattling heart stopping just wasn't there. I have the crossover pretty close to 60, the phase halfway, and the gain about halfway. Anyone else with this kind of bass? Is this normal? Should I expect this?
Thanks,
Craig
