It's back up, my router went down for some reason. Cheapo probably didn't like the traffic generated from here :) If it goes down again I'll put it up on a more stable location.

Thanks :) I actually hunted PE's site for logo's, but they didn't have any. I saw those clock letters when shopping for a matt cutter, and decided to try them out. Other than an ever so slight size difference between the numbers and letters, it all came out nice. They even stuck to the...

I duno, I make lots of stuff for my house, from audio to furniture. I always like to make things look such that when people see them, they don't realize I made it. Makes the reaction even better when they ask "Where'd you get that?"

Hey everyone, I haven't been around in a while, but I discovered this idea today and thought I would pass it along (unless someones already mentioned them). My goal for my Dayton LoudSpeaker DIY's (set of D3's, 12DVC sub, D-Budget surrounds/center) was to make them look like I purchased them...

"Robert & Curt's Universal Dayton 3 way Center Channel" Is there a website anywhere? A schematic? If so maybe I can put together a parts list for it together. Also, I ran some numbers and it looks like dual 5.25" daytons or dual 6.5" daytons output about 2db louder accross the board than...

I wasn't under the assumption that the tweeter needed shielding? It's such a small magnet. As for how my system sounds, everytime I listen to it I'm blown away. While I'm sure there are much better systems on the market (all be it higher priced) that you could build DIY (or retail), I cannot...

Does it have an option to not delete cookies?

If not the AV515M cards that are $15 have optical out. Also, doesn't the signal go through the receivers DAC reguardless of the inputs used (unless you use passthrough). I could be wrong, but I thought that was the reason people liked Tube Amps instead of the built in Amp in the receiver.

While I have not tested it, I asked this in another forum a couple days ago. The response was 150' ish. Or using something like the BVD-10 as shown on http://www.audiocontrol.com/multi_room.htm But those things are expensive.

Yup, just finished building them and getting the finish on last night. They sound great. The only thing I did not include that I forgot about because I already had was the eggcrate material for the inside. In my design I went through 2 sheets for 3 speakers.

Thanks! My girlfriend actually had a wonderful idea, which was to keep all the equipment in the theater room and run the long lines to the 32" in the living room. Also, do you know of any good IR/RF brands to look for, or places to shop?

The trick is exausting with a larger fan than the one in the projector, but at a lower RPM.

So this is what I like to call a "multipart" question. Currently, I have DirecTV, and two receivers. One in the theater, one in the living room. I'm adding a PVR (MythTV, a lot like Tivo) soon so this is why I'm tailing this out. Here is what I "would" have: 1) Satellite dish has 2 coax...

The AV515M. Here is a review of the Chaintech version that I have: http://www.viperlair.com/reviews/mis...av515m_1.shtml A few manufactures make it. Keep in mind, they are reviewing the analog sound out of it. Using Optical, it is just pure data, there is no "quality". It either works or...
