Well, It has been a couple of years since being very active here, but after spending 6-9 months building my last HT and my DIY Tempest 214L sub I am ready to start this quest again in my new home.
I still own the Tempest 214L sub and it is absolutely amazing....Still after 4 plus years...
I want to build a new sub that would meet the following requirements:
- Smaller enclosure less than 214L
- Earth Shaking bass to well below 20Hz
- Detailed specific plans to follow for ideal proven cabinet construction for
max performance.
- Total cost for Driver, plate amp, crossover not to exceed $1,000
- I have a separate budget for cabinet material (MDF), constuction and finishing/painting to be done by a custom cabinet maker who built my Tempest 214L cabinet.
- Dedicated Theater Room dimensions will be 13' x 25' with 8 foot ceiling. High SPL is a must.
- Performance that will make my 15" Tempest could only dream of
Is the king of Bass still the Adire 15" Tumult??? I am most interested in quality bass that will extend well below 20 Hz where you feel more than hear it!! SPL
Any and all comments, suggestions, photos, links, plans and other suggestions would be much appreciated.
This specific forum taught me that DIY subs will outperform just about anything store bought $ for $....I am SO glad I built my Tempest 15/214L
I look forward to hearing from everyone as I am sure there are lots of opinions but I want the numbers to back it up.
Thanks, Brett
