Hey all First off I just wanted to say hi. I use to lurk hear many years ago and post fairly frequently back when I was more "into" home Theater. I have always maintained my HT, in my living room, but nothing has changed in quite a few years as far as my HT goes. My life has certainly changed...

You reminded me of something. Not too long ago, we replaced every plug and switch in the house with the more "square" modern style "rocker" I believe they are called with matching wall outlets. My father in Law has that tester you are talking about and we used it in each plug after we switched...

Thanks for the confirmation. I went ahead and did it and it's all working like I wanted. I don't smell anything burning. :) This is a condo, built in the 70s. I can't speak for the grounding, but things I have that have a 3rd prong, such as my computer power strip, do register as "grounded" as...

So I finally had time to open up the switch on the wall and take a look. Here is a photo of what I found. All that is connected to the switch is two red wires so I believe this supports my thoughts that I can simply twist them together and that will make my one switched outlet an "always active"...

We already bought the Lutron kit. Works great.

Robert, I'll have to take a look at things tomorrow but I do know our plugs have that a switched outlet do have that tab broken. I know because I did it myself. We replaced every receptacle and wall switch in the house not too long ago and if any switch controlled a plug, I kept it exactly how...

I'm going to mount the remote that comes with this set in place of the standard wall switch. http://www.amazon.com/Lutron-P-PKG1P-WH-Wireless-300-watt-100-watt/dp/B00JJY1QG0/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1420438810&sr=8-11&keywords=Lutron+wirelessWe are having our first baby and we wanted a dimmable...

Hey guys I hope this is the place I can asking something like this. I have what I hope is a simple wiring question. I have a single pole light switch that controls a single plug of a standard 2 plug wall receptacle. The kind where you plug a lamp, etc, into and use the switch to control it...

True enough, thanks. Does anyone know how bad the auto on is with the Dayton? I read it doesn't work too well.

Should I be concerned with the sub I am looking at, The Dayton 1200 has been discontinued?

Building a sub is not something I'm interested in, but thank you.

My wife, being super frugal almost to the point of fault, wants me to research more why my old sub broke, and if anything can be done. i'm not electrically inclined so even if I could get to the innard of the amp, I doubt I would be able to do anything. Trying to tell her that best I can...

It is, as a matter of fact. Side note, I just in this message realized what you meant by PE. Parts Express. You've said it a few times today. I thought it meant something totally different.

Yes but which 2? The Sub-1200 isn't Prime, it's from a 3rd party but even so with shipping, it would only be $124 total. Returning it would probably not be fun! (The Sub-1000 is shipped and sold by Amazon, but it's $137.99-- so I don't see much point.)

Woofer-in-a-box! (Guess that answers that question.) So, Sam...and thank you by the way. Seems the consensus is Dayton if that's all I can afford, but F-12 if I could swing it? Are there any others worth mentioning in my range? My thinking regarding this whole thing is I wouldn't even be...
