Well now that i FINALLY have my heart 100% set on a tempest, i run into a problem(of course this is onl natural in any project). On creative sound, they dont tellyou if the tempest is dual 8ohm or the single 4 ohm or single 8 ohm or dual 4. Which creates a large obstacle as the amp i am getting only puts out 240 watts into 4 and a mere 120 in 8. Does anyone know offhand what coil configuration they sell at CSS? CSS didnt respond to my email so i dont even know if they have any in stock but i thought that one of you guys might know.
Another question, would it be worth getting the CSS amp with 360watts into 4 ohms? can the tempest take that much without reahching its xmax?(look below for box specs)
*****************************
Box specs
180litres after driver/port displacement(roughly 6 cu.ft)Ported tuned to 18hz

The Tempest is dual 4ohm 😉
Or atleast that is the only coil configuration i have ever seen. so it can be
Single 4ohm (Only using 1 coil) 400w Power handleing
Dual 4ohm (seperate chanles driving each chanel) 720 total power handline (310 each)
2ohm 720w powerhandleing (wired parallel)
8ohm 720w (wired series)

As far as i know it is totaly 'safe' but it does raise the QTS. CHeck out Adireaudio.com and see. Check out my thread about my up coming tempest project.
ahhhh damn, will this change the frequency response?
****EDIT****
when i raise the QTS to .5 in WINisd it models COMPLETELY different, same size box tuned to 16hz has a pretty big lump over the whole 20-30hz spectrum(wont fare nicely with room gain). someone help me.
