Thanks a lot glenn, thats pretty much what I needed to hear

Cool, let me know how those work out for you. Right now I am thinking of putting 2 bass traps behind the listening position. and a whole bunch of panels in front.

Interesting... I just finished reading everything on Jon's website about bass traps, but I still have a few questions. #1, Due to my room shape and placement, I would not be able to put bass traps in the front corners of the room. Maybe I can manage to fit a panel into the corners, but not a...

I guess Im just going to have to build a few. Question: Will the panels be effective for lower frequencies, or do I have to build those huge round traps and put them into the corners of the room if I want to have any effect on the lower end?

Any thoughts on whether this will actually help out my problem?

Thats exactly what I attempted to do :) The only problem is the sub is a 142L Shiva and the thing weights about 100pounds, and measured 25" on each side of the cube box. This makes placement options rather limited. I found the best places out of the possible locations and left it there. It...

Aren't nulls caused by destructive interference with the reflecting waves? The bass trap should eliminate the reflected waves and eliminate the nulls. From my understanding at least.

Hey everyone, Im having some time off work and I would like to acousticly treat my room while I have some spare time. I've been looking around but failed to find any definitive guides on how to build a good bass trap. What I find sometimes is that my sub is working like mad, and the whole...

I was actually thinking of selling everything if I can get a buyer. I can probably get $500CAD locally for it, providing the superglue holds out. And I think it will. EDIT: Thats $500 for the Shiva, AVA250 Plate amp, and box. Finished in red oak veneer.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will wait for either the new Shivas or the Atlas 12s to be in stock. I don't really want to drop in another Shiva, since I've been itching to upgrade anyway. In the meanwhile, I have carefully superglued the spyder in the places that it ripped, and so...

Well... I think I finally killed my Shiva. I knew this would happen someday, because I put it through some pretty rough LFE tracks :) There is a rip in the yellow surround stuff underneath the cone, Im not sure what the proper term is. But it attaches to the cone just above the voice coil...

Hey everyone, I've been trying to sift through all of the DVD threads to find what Im looking for, but nothing seems to point to what I need. What I need is a $200-300 DVD player, with either good component picture quality. My TV also has HDMI, but I use my receiver's HD switching between SAT...

Yeah, I've been meaning to get a new one. That cheap POS plays all of my PAL movies :)

Anyone else?

Yeah, it's a shame though that the cable provider in my area has barely any HD channels, so I didn't even bother to buy the HD cable box; maybe when there is a decent selection. Maybe I will try sattalite too. On the upside, even standard channels look surprisingly good on this TV when...
