          That's the initial plan yes, but the sub design is a ways off.

            Why ED? Why not the Exodus Maelstorm or IXL 18.4's? I don't know I guess the ED subs just seem more like car drivers to me. They just don't impress me much They are cheap though I'll give them that.

              I actually have a couple of their cheaper 10"s and one of their amps in my truck and was pretty impressed with the quality. Plus after seeing the quad 18's project I linked I figured I'd give them a shot. I tend to be a repeat customer once I find a company I do some good business with. Though it's not set in stone. I won't be doing the sub build for quite a while so plenty of time to research others as well.

              I guess to turn your question around, why those particular drivers over the eD?

                Well the Maelstorm because its got 33mm of Xmax. I guess the ED isn't bad though I'm just wondering about mechanical noise and what not as they are mostly intended for car use. I know the Maelstorm and Tempest-X has very very low motor noise and quite low distortion. Kevin has video's posted on his site so you can hear them.

                    Yeah the only issue is the Maelstorm is quite a bit more I was going to do 2 18's but then decided to go with 4 15" Tempests due to how I want to setup my room.

                      Hi all,

                      I have been working with EdL (thanks Ed) for the last couple weeks in preparing to measure some DIY WGs for use with non-compression drivers. That is, the tweeters will be standard off-the-shelf dome tweeters. Ed has turned some examples and sent them to me. Soon I will be doing...

                      Nice First DIY Project M8s? Vifa xT tweet?
                      by myn
                      I'm in the need of decent front speakers and I have been exploring the DIY market.

                      I was convinced on the audioreview DIY project that costs around $200 all in for the parts + enclosure but a friend told me to check out this forum first.

                      I've been reading several posts...

                      I thought I'd let everyone here at the HT Guide know that Doug Petersen is hosting the 2007 Iowa DIY event this fall on October 27th. It'll be held in the Grinnell college theater which will seat up to 400 people so there's lots of room if everyone decides to come. He has created a web page that he'll...
