Adire Is Cheaply Made!

I don't really know that............actually I was wondering about something I have heard a lot of people say that Adire Shiva was an excellent sub is this true or is it just a good sub to start out with because I was thinking of buying 1 or 2 and if you could give me some names of subs that the Shiva’s are better than this would probably help me in my decision making also if anyone that has owned these subs before can tell me about their quality I would appreciate that for instance if after a couple months do they start to distort or dust caps tear easily or just any quality issues thanks

Great sub, sounds great, great low frequency extension, built solid. Not just a good start out sub, but a good sub anyway you cut it.

I must admit...despite the raving reviews, I was still a little bit sketchy of purchasing a pair. I think once you plug them in they suprise everyone at what they really can do.

Looks can be deceiving.

What sort of amp should I use if I get 1 Shiva and what sort of amp/amps should I use if I get two I was thinking if I get one to use a JBL 600.1 and if I got 2 to use a 1200.1 or would it be better for some reason to use 2 diffrent 600.1 amps if I got 2 for some reason

or would anyone recomend another brand of amp to use thanks

I'm using an Arc Audio 1500D-R...great amp.

I suggest you look at something that does around ~350 or so per sub....keep in mind they are DVC 8ohm.
