    Subwoofer completed

    Well after 6 months I finally completed my Shiva Sonosub - ShivaSS. To sum up my impressions in one word: WOW!!! 8O



    internal volume - 5.45 cu ft
    Port - 17" flared at both ends
    tuned to 18 htz

    How do I measure the subwoofer? I have a RS analog SPL and I also downloaded a file that has 15 to 80 htz sweep.

    Should I ask Santa for a BFD?

    P.S. - The reason why it took so long is that I bought a house and got married during that time.

    Good job, Eduardo! I know you're enjoying your new sub. As for the BFD, if your room has nasty peaks that you can't solve with sub placement, it seems several people have found the BFD to be a good solution.

      Nicely done! I'd suggest you download Sonnies BFD spreadsheet and do some measurements from 20-140hz to see how bad your room response is. From there you'll be better able to determine if the BFD is really needed or not...though that said unless you're in the minority you'll likely need the BFD if you want a flat response.

        Hey Edurado!

        P.S. - The reason why it took so long is that I bought a house and got married during that time.

        Looks like you did a nice job! Enjoy!

        But a warning... getting a BFD is just another step down the primrose path..... :LOL:

          Jon, I was going to give Eduardo a hard time, but thought: "hey, he's a new husband and going throught big adjustments, so I'll lay off". Thanks for guiding me back - Hey Eduardo, new wife, new house, just a couple of minor inconveniences! What took you six months to get back to an important pursuit??!!

              It must be putting out some pretty good bass, look at that Native's hair standing straight up! LOL.

              Great job Eduardo, I like how you trimmed it out!
