IB Sub

After reading the prose from "The Cult of the Infintely Baffled", I decided to drink the KoolAid and go this route. What you see here is the manifold that will hold two Adire Tempest 15D8 subwoofers. The box is made of MDF and will be braced and painted. Steff wants a speaker cloth to cover it so it isn't seen from the main room. The speakers are dual-voice coil, 8 Ohm high-excursion speakers. I'm going to wire the voice coils in parallel, which takes the resistance down to 4 Ohms. At this point, I could then series the two speakers to drive them back to 8 Ohms with a monoblock amplifier, but Mr. Stocks recommended I use parallel outputs of my amplifier and send 4Ohms to each. I still need to order the amp, but I'm going to go ahead and wire the speakers up and get everything ready.
