Hey all-
I need a little help- I've preordered my tempest driver and picked up my sonotube/mdf yesterday to start the project. I've been reading many, many post concerning the build of this beast and I only seem to get more confused on the math/dimensional end- I'm ok on the assembly end of building the perfect beast- I have the 24" tube (We had to cut it into ~ 6' sections to get it home) This will be used for HT only as I have a MKv90 to use on the music end of my setup. My room is about 25x25x8. Power will either be the 250w sub amp from Adire or I have a Yamaha M60 that can push about 400w @ 4ohms. Size is not important as the wifey doesn't care or knows that my obsession with HT cannot be cured so why fight it. :-)
I would like to go as low as possible with what I have to work with.
Would I would love to know is.....
1-How tall? I have about 65-70" per section of tube.
2-Port(s) size? Length, diameter + flares?
3-Batting? How much? Should I line the inside?
4-Bottom firing and bottom port(s)
Sorry for all the questions. I hope I included enough info on my end to paint the picture of performance I'm looking to get out of the Tempest. I really like the forum here. I've been a lurker at HTT for a long time and really appreciate all the insight that comes from knowledge and experience you all have to share.
Mucho Thanks in advance if anyone can help me get started.
