Ok, I've had the sub done for about 2 and a half months, but I didn't have my camera w/ me at home when I built it, and I've had it tucked in the corner of my apartment living room since the day I got back to school. I had it out while cleaning the apartment today so I took a couple of pictures.
It's a EBS Shiva powered by an external 250W PE Plate Amp. I used a pair of 2" ports instead of a single 4" port because I had the 2" PVC around when I was building it. The dual 2" offers the same vent match as the single 4" according to WINISD and I haven't heard a bit of port noise even at and above reference. Even though, I'll probably replace the dual 2" ports w/ dual 3" ports when i get the sub back home this summer and us the router to flush-cut and roundover to flare them.
Believe it or not, the inset glass top doesn't rattle a bit even at and above reference (although things sitting on the glass do, as well as things across the room ). It sets on top of 6 thick clear rubber bumpers. I had to add a couple in the middle because the Paradigm Mini MK3 (predecessor to the Mini Monitor) surround speaker that sets on the glass had enough weight to start to bend it a bit... guess I should have went w/ 1/4" tempered glass, but HD only carries 1/8" single strength, and it's cheap.
Anyway, let me know what you think
