Subwoofer Project -  Tempest Low Q Enclosure

That looks very familiar.  The LowQ Sealed Adire Tempest Subwoofer is an excellent choice.

kayo talaga, hayaan nyo at isasama ko kayo!

Bon,

Mabangis na sub project na naman yan ah! MDF ba yun? o yun isang ginagamit mo na wood. Cuts palang malinis na bro, I salute you! 

[Handyman]

Jo,


Thanks 

3/4" marine ply ang ginamit ko...tapos babalutan ko sya ng 3/4" pinewood for finishing.

Mabangis talagang sub to, 15" ang woofer, 250 watts ang amp,  cabinet halos kasing taas ng wharfs 8.4 ko.





 

[JojoD818]

Wow, it's taking shape na ah! Mas malaki pala sya sa Titan II, at ang laki din ng driver!

Walang kawala yun mga side panels sa bracing mo bro. 

Keep us posted!

  Sir Bon... you've got one heck of a masterpiece there (ang lufet!). Another fine work from the master craftsman...

Jo, 

here's the link for the cabinet design...actually natest ko na sya kagabi, kahit kulang pa ang stuffing at temporary pa ang top panel.

Bon,

mataas talaga ang respect ng mga diyers dyan sa tempest, regarded as one of the best sub drivers in the diy community yan. ok din yun plate amp mo ah, parang ganyan yun ginawa ko para kay Toquero.

for sure mas ok yan pag kumpleto na yun stuffings sa loob nun box. pero sa bangis ng bracing mo, i doubt it kung may madidinig ka pa na resonance sa box nyan. mukhang nga galit sa mga kapitbahay ang may ari nyan!

Most of the better commercials subs out there use 700-1000 watts RMS amps.  Maybe such amps can really optimize the tempest design.  But for its 12" woofer and baffle size, baka overkill na yung high wattage amps.

Wow! Can you give me a price range of these "batter commercial subs" that are out there?

Could these probably be Class B or D amps? Pero kakagigil naman yun 1000W, as long as RMS and not PMPO.

Handyman,

Galeng naman ng sub na yan! Siguro gumagawa ng mini theatre yung owner nyan

at 250w using a 15" driver, it really needs a large room.

Di naman kailangan ng large room nyan.... kailangan lang matibay dibdib mo! 

[kid]

Bawal pala sa mga mahina ang weak lungs yang sub na yan

[JojoD818]

Totoo yan, pero kidding aside, imagine the realism that this baby can do? pag explosions sa movie, talagang explosions! 

[kid]

Oo nga master..... i can't imagine how will i watch war movies with this kind of SUB sa labas ng house siguro ko pupuwesto

Sir punk kid,

Siguro nga..Malalaman ko yan pag nai-deliver ko na sa kanya...

If I recall right the REL, M&K, B&W and Velodyne flagship subs are in these power ranges.  And they are priced roughly above 80T.  Can't remember the models, but you can google search the brand.  I think many use digital class D amps.

Project progress...

bros, do u have a way to turn a 6 ohms speaker into 8 ohms, without opening it? salamat po!

bros, do u have a way to turn a 6 ohms speaker into 8 ohms, without opening it? salamat po!

Why? Are you concerned that your amp is rated for 8 ohms and the speaker says it's a 6 ohm? The rating is a "nominal" resistance. Speakers are dynamic, not static resistance. A 6 or 8 ohm rating is just the average. The actual resistance will change with frequency. It could be as high as 40 ohms or as low as 3 ohms at different points. Chances are, if you have a solid state amp rated for 8 ohms and the speaker is 6 ohms it will probably play fine. If you're worried you could put a 2 ohm resistor (or even higher) on the positive terminal of the speaker but this may change the way the speaker sounds. However, it may be a change for the better!
