I am thinking about building a sub for HT/Audio use and have ruled out a sonotube type due to WAF. At this point I am considering building around Adire's Shiva driver. They have a vented design that they call a 142.5l (apx 5 cubic feet) with a 4 inch flare port 12 inches long and a downfiring driver. I would be very interested to know if any one has ever built this design (or one similar) and what they thought of it, or any other thoughts anyone would have on it.

I would like to get some feedback on my plans. About 16 years ago I bought a pair of Chorus's and have been running them thru a Yamaha C65 preamp and M65 amp. I just ordered an academy (thanks SSEYMOUR, Recycled audio had one for 299 which is a damn site better than 520 on ebay). My local chain (Tweeter) has the Yamaha RX-V1 for well under half of list, and I dont mind missing a few bells and whistles on last years model. My plan is to use the preamp out for the mains and use the M65 to drive the (chorus). I will then use the RX-V1 to drive centers rears etc. because of the serious hole that this will put in my wallet I plan to use a pair of Definitive Technology Celsius's that I have for the rears until I can replace them without a divorce. Any thoughts or ideas would be very welcome and once again thanks everyone for saving me from ebay.

Allow me to introduce the idiot who learned about proxy bidding on E-Bay for the first time. Yes I did want the speaker badly and yes I am glad I didn't get it on reflection the next morning.
