Hi guys, im currently using JBL northridge ND-310s (3 way double 10s) for fronts and I love them. Ive bought and sold alot of gear through the years but these have always been my favorite. Unfortunately they are simply not going to fit in our new built in entertainment center so i need to...

Hi guys, Im building a new house and want to wire everything properly before we put the drywall on and I have some questions. House will have a home theater system in the great room, master bedroom and possibly a dedicated home theater room in the basement down the road. 1. Should I go 5.1 or...

What do you guys think of these reconditioned recievers that Harman Audio are selling on e-bay? Think they are safe to buy? They say they may have some minor scratchs. Has anybody seen the condition of these for real? Also, has anybody figured out a way to get one in Canada? Harman Audio...

I'm a little dissapointed with them. I've been waiting a long time for the new studio series so I could get a set of slim floorstanding speakers like the dual 6's they have now. But now that they have the mains I want, I cant get a matching center? The center with compareble drivers is a wall...

Its been over a month, any news?

Just in case anyone was wondering... I tried stuffing my sub this weekend. Not a huge change but seems to sound a little nicer. Not much difference in the response or output level. It was worth doing I guess.

I'm using a parts express 500w plate amp for the convienieance over a pro amp. But sometimes I like to tinker with things and I was thinking about installing some terminals in the back of my sub leading to the amp and woofer. Normally they would be jumped togeather, but if i wanted to try a...

I think i'll try stuffing it then. Cant hurt anyway. So just to help my understanding... Can I expect more output in low frequencys with the same amount of power just like a larger box? Or does the stuffing simply drop the upper output to give you a similer response curve to a larger box?

I was also thinking that stuffing a box will make it similer to a larger one (lower q). But do you really "gain" low end extension, or is it just the upper limit auttenated? For example if you had two identical subs (one stuffed and one not) running off the same amount of power, would the...

Can somebody else confirm this? I think the extra headroom would probably let me boost the low end enough to keep me happy. But like I said, I really dont EVER want to worry about this thing bottoming out.

Well as some of you guys may know I have a DIY sub with an Avalanche 15 with a PE 500w plate amp. I first had this sub in a 5.5cuft box ported to 19hz and it sounded ok but the low end was overpowering. And it really didnt seem to have alot of higher frequency bass output no matter how much...

Mine was terrible too. Didnt come on till over 80 dB output. I added the resistor and now it works perfect. Comes on at such a low level I cant even detect it sometimes. If you add the resistor and its still not sensitive enough, you could always add a smaller one. I believe I used 750 ohms...

Thomas, If you were to mount two similer drivers in a small and a large enclosure. And both were EQ'ed perfectly flat, would they both sound the same? Or will the smaller box be less accurate? Sorry for all the questions but i'm still fairly new to this. I'm glad to hear you guys think my...

John, I expected a big difference in bass, and there was. But that's not what bothered me about them. The bass response was fine with a sub, they blended in even better then I had hoped. But there was a HUGE difference in the upper midrange and treble. Female voices just really sounded bad in...

Cant go wrong with the E80/90's. I have the origional version of the E-100's and they sound amazing IMO. I tried upgrading to a set of JBL S-26's now that I have a sub but I had to come back, the clarity is just nowhere even close. I think personally id go with the E-80's and spend the extra...
