Hey everyone. Just got done building my tempest sub, and low and behold there's something wrong. More than likely, I'm missing a component. I'm running it with an EP1500, no hpf, no bfd. It was "bottoming" out and, excuse my noob reference, was making kind of a wah-wah sound at times. My...

I'd like to do Kevin's '141L (5 cubic feet) with two PR-15s 15% fill – 20Hz' tune build with a Tempest-x2. I have a PE 500w bash amp around. Will this be enough to drive the beast, or should I drop down to the '100L (3.5 cubic feet) with two PR-15s 15% fill – 20Hz tune' which Kevin says can get...

I put together the ez port 5.1 cu ft. box, and not getting the results I was expecting. I paired it with the PE 500w plate amp thats recommended for it, and its not putting out much more than my PA 120. It does get lower, it it may get a little louder but not much. I have to set the amp to about...

Hello! I am interested in building a Tempest X2 with 2 PR's. I have been drooling over the Tempest for quite some time now but am finally going to have the funds shortly to actually do it. On Kevin's site in the Application guide he shows some examples of this build with 15" PR's. What would...

I have seen these THT builds everywhere recently.. I am in the air and cannot get a direct answer to what will perform better.. Been trying to get answers on the Tempest for a while now, but not many replys back, SO Down to these 2 choices, I know it might be a little biased in here, but I...

Ok, so I was over at another forum and asking about DIY subs, and the Shiva came up...well I knew I'd just want bigger, so when I finally got around to purchasing I decided to buy the Tempest 15". I know that I want a ported design because I want to hit really low for HT use. I just don't know...

I initially started with the following model and a WinISD simulation. Then came the purchase of the Tempest and the build began with Xmas break. Here's a shot of the internal braces cut and ready to go in. The cutout for the Speakon connector to go on the back. Test fitting the flush...

Kind of the quick quick version of my build, (this is Kevin's design) I have more pictures but these are the jist of it. I'm going to make this into an end table by wrapping it in oak, just not sure exactly how I want to do it yet. I have this laying on it's side for now as I need to make legs...

I'm wanting to upgrade my sub in my family room setup. The family room itself isn't that big, but when combined with the eating area and kitchen it opens to it is probably around 5500 ft^3. I was originally looking at getting something like the Paradigm DSP-3400, but after looking at my...

Just wanted to share my 1st HT sub build using one of Kevin's Tempest X2 drivers. Outside dimensions are 20.75h x 29w x 19.5d Here is the box already underway. I'm gluing in the .5 inch plywood as braces. View from the bottom (downward firing box) I was just going to screw in the driver...

Hello Everyone, I have been researching long enough, its time to start the sub woofer build. This is my first every speaker/sub build, so I am always looking for advice or ideas, so feel free to offer suggestions or correct me if you see something wrong. I have some good woodworking experience...

Hi, I'm looking to build a ported 15" subwoofer built into an endtable. A reasonable size end table will get me about 6 cubic feet of internal volume before vent, driver, and brace volume. I'd like it tuned around 20hz, the lower the better, i think. I will be using it for 70% home theater...

I've just completed day 1 in my first subwoofer build. It was a lot of research to get me to this point, so hopefully it comes out well. Enough babbling, let's get to the important part - the specs! Driver: Tempest x2 Box design: Forward firing woofer, side firing slot port. It's...

Would anyone be able to assist with modeling a Tempest X2 in a sealed 7^ft box with an OAudio BASH 500? My problem centers around the HPF's and corresponding boost levels. I can't find a consensus on how much boost or filter Q and order is being applied at each setting. Any help would be...

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...

Is it the same as in car audio, Where when you double the power , at max you gain on avg 3-5 db? Hard to tell in home, but obviously ppl want the low end to rumble and shake the foundation So are there limits, or what will the audible difference be between the 2 while watching movies, playing...

Hi, can anyone tell me if the mounting holes for the Exodus Tempest are the same as for the Adire Tempest? I am thinking of replacing the Adire ones with the X2 as they seem to have a significantly larger Xmax. current setup is 2 tempest facing each other in an IB setup thanks Murray
