I'll try to provide enough quality pics during my build for you.

I'm using Kevin's Maelstrom 21"er with the passive radiator design. I normally don't like building a passive radiator sub with a Qts over .4, but it is so close, I won't have a problem.

Here's the deal....23" x 23" x 60"; 10 cubes and 15 hz box tuning. With the typical passive radiator design there is more of a roll off but at this already low box tuning, I'll have more than plenty of bass. I needed the height to add the three passive radiators on each side and it will match my main speaker's height. Better WAF here.

I just picked up the pallet of materials from my mill. My construction material is 1.25" mdf. It looked like I had ten bags of concrete in my truck going down the road. In the roll of plastic, I've got two sheets of Pionite black slate laminate to match all of my other speakers.

Cabinet resonance with this thick material; I don't think so. Moving it? Now that's another challenge.

Just got back from Houston with the materials so here is the first build pic:

Just curious, are the exodus audio drivers suitable for horn type subs (I know nothing about the horn subs or their various types - but I think it was called a tuba sub).

I was trying to search for the thread that I saw where a guy said his horn sub (15") totally eclipsed his LLT sub in all area's.

Just wondering if the exodus audio subs have been used for this type of sub, or if its even possible? ]]> Exodus Audio Drizt http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/exodus-audio/23006-horn-subs.html Tempest X2 + EZ Port box - good for music? http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/exodus-audio/23004-tempest-x2-ez-port-box-good-music.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:13:51 GMT Would the Tempest X2 in the EZ Port box be a good configuration for music?

It seems that setup can put out some serious db's for HT, but would it be okay for Jazz and Classical (and some Rap and Hip Hop)music as well?

Would the sealed boxes offer a better compromise for 50/50 HT/music purposes?

I don't run many sales on the Maelstrom-18" or 21" because they are typically in short supply. I have some need for cash, to pay for a couple big production runs so I'm having a TWO DAY ONLY sale to get some money into the coffers.

Free UPS GND shipping in the USA for all Maelstrom purchases running from 11-17 through 11-20. Get them now if you have a build planned and save.

To get this deal, you must use the shopping cart system and type "FREE SHIPPING" into the text box during checkout. Since these drivers are 55-57lbs shipping, this can end up being a good $30-$45 saving.

In addition, if you want an SMS-1, I'll add FREE SHIPPING for the SMS-1 and offer them for $375 with the purchase of a sub. Want a Face Audio amp to power that monster sub? Add any Face Audio amp and get FREE SHIPPING and an extra $50 off the listed prices.

Want one of the best pro-amplifiers made? Do you need to do a little arc welding on the side and want an audio amplifier that can serve double duty? For a limited time, order a Maelstrom subwoofer and you can purchase a FACE Audio F1600-TX or F2000-TX at HALF PRICE!!!! Both of these amplifiers are capable of 4500W-4600W into nominal 4-Ohm load. This is OVER $1000 savings from full retail price on these massive amplifiers. The F2000-TX can run a dual Maelstrom system with ease, so buy a pair of subs, get a single F2000-TX at half price, and free shipping to boot.

This is better than Turkey Dinner. Get them while they are hot.

I built two Maelstrom subs with dual passive radiators in 9 cubic foot boxes and I purchased two Velodyne SMS-1 active crossovers for these subs. The instruction manual recommends setting the crossovers at 80 Hz because it is "the THX standard". My main speakers are rated to achieve 32 Hz. I read somewhere that subs should be crossed as low as possible. Since my main speakers are rated at 32 Hz, would it be better to cross around 40 Hz or lower instead of the recommended 80 Hz?

Kevin or other knowledgeable persons. I plan on using the Tempest-X2 in my enclosure. The external dimensions are 18 x 20 x 52. The slot port is 3 x 18 x 44. Do you think the port dimensions are good? I could take some length off if neccessary. The driver and port will face the carpet floor(about 8" off the floor). What do I use for fill and how much of it do I need?

Thanks

I chose the shiva-x2 with 2 PR package for my build over a tempest-x2 build because I prefer a smaller box (~4.5 cu ft internal volume vs over 9 cu ft internal volume) over the ~3 db and slightly deeper extension.

The internal volume will be ~4.5 cu ft, with the driver, prs, and braces in place. The PRs will have 8 discs (making about 1000g I believe) on them. The amp will be the dayton 500w from PE.

Here are some pictures of the finished box and the winisd graph.








Any suggestions? Also, should I line the inside with anything?

Im not sure if you can see my pictures here, so here is my post in avs forum.
