lorcoll Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I have built the Shiva vented project (142,5 l.) two years ago (I have paid about 550.00 euro with the shipping costs from USA) and now I can buy the RW-12 new at a fantastic price (euro 350.00) from Germany. Now I would Know if the RW-12 is in the same league of my DIY project of the Shiva ( I have tuned my Shiva to 20 Hz - is this a good value?). Many thanks. Lorenzo.

DrWho Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well at the very least they're probably going to be close. Are you considering purchasing the RW-12 to replace your Shiva? Btw, what size cabinet did you go with for the Shiva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorcoll Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 No, I use the Shiva for the Home theater (with the Heresy I) and now I want to buy the RW-12 to use it with my Khorn (considering the fact that I listen to a low level sound - no loud). I have used the EBS Shiva project (142 .5 liter - 5 cubic foot net) and the dimensions are: a cube of 22.5" for side. The port is 4.65" large and 18.10" long. While the amp was a 250 Watts from Parts Express. If the RW-12 is as good as the Shiva I'll buy it because my DIY project was good (at my usual volume sound) for the Khorn.

wuzzzer Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't think the RW-12 will keep up with the output of Klipschorns, the RSW-12 probably would be a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 the khorns are hard to keep up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorcoll Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Ok, I know the problem to find a good sub for the Khorn; but my question was: is the RW-12 in the same league of the Vented Shiva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 since its 5 cubic feet vented I would say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2006 That is the same exact one I built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ok so it's not the prettiest thing, I did kind of hurry up because I wanted to hear it. It is on wheels, although you can't really see them. It's to heavy to move without rolling but it does roll so you would think I could at least turn it around and get the dust off, but noooo.

lorcoll Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 You have done a very good work and looks fine. What is the size of the port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2006 The port is the one they sell here full length, not cut shorter. They had plans and length of the port for different applications. I think they called it EBS ? It's 142 L or 5 CF about 22'' square tuned to 18.3. Shiva with an Adaire ava 250 watt amp. Will build another or something better later. http://www.acoustic-visions.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
