Hi everyone,
As what usually happens to most of us, I have gotten bitten by the upgrade bug. I am thinking of upgrading my 10 cubic foot ported @ 18 Hz Tempest sub to a new SDX-15. This is the original Tempest offered by Adire and not the Tempest-X. I would be building a new cabinet, as this one is a bit too big. I also have much more experience with wood working now, and more tools to back it up.
You can see old pics of my current sub HERE. Some of you might even remember it , as it's kind of monolithic and pseudo-industrialistic/ugly.
The amp is a CSS 250R plate amp, 250W/360W @ 8/4ohm. I am thinking of keeping this for the new sub, but in contacting Rob at CSS he feels it might be too anemic for the SDX-15. What are most people using for this driver, or I should say how much power? The current room it's in is roughly 26x14x8.
I searched here on the site for past SDX-15 cabinet designs but didn't come up with much. It's main duty will be for music. My current rig was designed mostly for movies, but my home theatre hasn't magically manifested itself yet so it has seen little movie use.
So, the final question is, would this be a worthwhile upgrade? Haha, I guess that is a foolish question with too many variables... Ok how about this. Can you guys talk me into building a new toy? I am on the brink.
Thanks.
