I e-mailed this question, along with a question about shiva enclosures, to Adire and they responded with this:

Matt,

Thanks for the e-mail! For most Shiva applications, 1.5 cubic feet

sealed is the way to go. Power in the 250-300W range is plenty to get

full output.

In terms of output, a Brahma 12 with 1500W will have more output than a pair of Shivas; and the Shivas would typically have too much power applied at 500W each (you'd need a tiny box - around 0.5 cubic feet - for the Shiva to mechanically handle that power, and you don't gain ANYTHING over using a larger box and less power).

Thanks,

Adire Tech Support

Crap, you beat me. I actually talked to Dan and he told me that the Brahma 12 would actually have the output advantage. I was rather surprised as I thought the Shiva's would have a little more displacement. Plus I have seen what the Tempest can do in the SPL lanes. But I guess I was wrong. Sorry about that.

Seeing that the Tumult is now in a 12" version,,do you think that sub will be a better choice for spl/sq installs? Or is the brahma still going to be superior in the sq department?

The SQ should be about the same. The Brahma might have a slight advantage due to a lower inductance, but I doubt it would be that audible. The Tumult will definitely have the SPL advantage due to a higher power handling and more excursion.
