Sub Drivers (BluePrint?) - Page 2

$250 is about what i'm looking to spend on drivers.

Whats the golden ratio for acoustics again? *sigh*

Max space is probably 10 feet, maybe 11. 8 would be nice. Depends on what returns are going to be.

Still to small for dual shivas, right? Doesnt matter, actually, unless dual shiva's would fit in 11 cubic feet.

I have a single Shiva in 1.7 cu ft and have a box underway for a pr that is just over 4. Optimum is between 4 & 7 cu ft for the older ones i have. With lots of power & a Linkwitz Transform people are putting these in a cu ft box.

A single Tempest has almost twice the output of dual Shivas, so unless you really want to go with two drivers, it's a draw.

But with a single driver you don't get the large benefits of being able to load the drivers in a push-push configuration.

I always prefer to use 2 drivers -- particularily in the bass -- because of these benefits.

Agreed! And at reasonable levels, you'll get lower distortion as well.

But if bang for the buck is a consideration....

bang for buck and figuring out how to power the two drivers... silly 2 ohms.

Maybe that should be bounce for the buck -- after hearing stories of peoples subs "walking" when playing.

And in the case of a downfiring driver and a lighter tube sub...hopping in place.
