The apex sr. is the cheapest real sub amp I know of, its like 139. www.apexjr.com
michael said:going to 500w is a waste, i would not really go past 250, the tempes is efficient and at 20Hz in a sealed box it hits xmax at 275w
Agreed, a Tempest with a 250W amp will work well.
My Tempest
Ii know you can get the tempest here http://www.acousticconcepts.com.au

If you look at the specs, you'll see that they are very similar. The Dayton is a little less expensive. Right now, you can get free shipping at Parts Express. I also bought the 250w plate amp from them.

Wow! That's a lot. I'm sorry for steering toward PE and free shipping. I didn't even look at your location. Are most things really expensive in Australia?

undertoe said:Hi, would be cool but im located in australia, shipping was $171 USD
this kinda stuff seems to be. Price on tempest driver is $400 AUD and the DT300 amp is $495 AUD
I really want the temptest and the Rythmik 350 from
www.acoustic-visions.com but they will no longer send overseas

And since the Australian Dollar is 74 cents US-just a year or so ago it was 55 cents-that Tempest is $296 and the DT 300 amp is $366.
Which is still kind of expensive.
If you don't mind downgrading to a 12", Eminence sells the LaB 12 subwoofer which is very similar to the Shiva, except it has one 6 ohm voice coil. 12 mm excursion, and specs very similar to the Shiva. Bigger magnet, cast frame, sturdier built than the Shiva. Costs $175 US, but foreign distributors seem to sell Eminence products very very close to US prices.
Here is the Eminence Australia distributor:

Undertoe,
As you've just discovered, living anywhere other than the USA can make this a really expensive hobby!
The shipping rates from Madisound are quite reasonable though. I imported two Peerless 8" woofers from Madisound last year and here's how the costs break down....
Cost of goods: $55
Shipping: $42.24
Duty: £1.39 (approx $2.50)
VAT: £13.39 (approx $20)
Admin fee: £4.50 (approx $7)
Shipping was by air - I ordered on Tuesday lunchtime and the goods arrived Friday afternoon - now that's service! The price for 4-6 week overland wasn't much cheaper, maybe $30 instead of $42.
Although these are only 8" units, the weight was still significant so ordering a sub amp from Madisound might still be possible.
Nice one,
David.

accoustic concepts sell both the shiva and tempest in australia and dont charge the earth for delivery, here is the prices they gave me when i emailed them
>Shiva $272.50 plus GST
> Tempest $385.00 Plust GST
> Maelstrom $765.00 plus GST
> Brahma 10" $780.00 plus GST
> Brahma 12" $850.00 Plus GST
> Brahma 15" $995.00 plus GST

> AV-8 $186.00 plus GST
> Freight costs Eastern States $17.00 per speaker/Redgum amp, WA and NT $24.00 per speaker/redgum amp.
if you modell the sealed tempest up against the vented shiva the shiva comes out on top with alot more SPL below 35Hz and it is the same size box, even above 3Hz te tempest doesnt produce SPL thatismuch greater 2.5dbbbbat most and that is at 80Hz
my suggestion go te shiva ebs
