Heya, I've got a pair of Selenium 15CO1Ps in the recommended boxes (giant coaxial speakers). I built them for college and I absolutely love them even though they're enormous so I'm not going to be replacing them any time soon. Thing is, I need a center channel to match them and I want to make...

I'm not too concerned about the cab size. I think I'd basically be making one of these: http://www.directproaudio.com/produc...2&from=froogle

diyaudio has me looking towards an 18" driver - specifically hte Peavey low rider http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=294-301 It's got some pretty impressive specs - though I'm not sure what kind of cabinet to build for it (does it lend itself to a horn? How can you tell?)

do you know of any good resources for learning more about horns used with subwoofers?

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...=290-570&DID=7 anyone have experience with these? The stats there are very intriguing, especially at that price. And producing output comparable to several 18" drivers? What's the deal on this thing, and would I be getting in way over my head to try...

or the Soundsplinter, I hear a lot about them and they look pretty beefy. http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~aco...rivers/SSRL-p/

sounds like SPL is definitely what I'm looking for though right? If that's the case the Selenium drivers are 5-6 dB higher than the Tempest. I sacrifice a lot in the FS department but that's not so important when it's primarily a music application right? Also - after doing some more looking...

basically need a sub that'll pound really hard with music at parties. I'm more concerned with the music application than the HT part. I'll be powering it with a Crown XLS-202 amp that I have which will give it ~400w continuous at 8ohms and, clearly, more at less resistance. Still, I'd like to...

how about 10 4" ones?

I'm looking to get some port plugs for vented speakers with 4" ports. Does anyone know of a place to get these? It's really hard to find the right size anywhere. I'll take anything, doesn't need to be a nice rubber stopper, I'd take a PVC pipe plug too.

all right, I got it. It only works with Dolby stuff, not the 5 Ch Stereo, and I had to set up the LFE so that it worked together with the Front L&R Channels, since I have all my speakers set to large.

Here's what I have going: Harman Kardon AVR 635 / Subwoofer Out to an RCA Splitter / 2xRCA to XLR cable / Crown XLS-202 I think this is an issue with the RCA to XLR stuff. RCA is unbalanced and XLR is balanced, it seems like that could be a major problem. I figured I would lose the...

All right, I'm trying to hook up a pair of subs in boxes to my new Crown XLS-202. The amp only takes XLR inputs, which (clearly) my receiver doesn't have. I have a Harman Kardon AVR-635. I'm trying to split the Subwoofer output into two XLR connections. Should this work, in theory? I know...

they'd do better just selling the drivers.

I'm liking that RL-P 15" driver. It's a monster and the numbers are looking good. Obviously I'm open for more suggestions though. I'm also a huge fan of drivers that lean towards efficiency instead of raw wattage consumption. They last longer and sound better on less of an amplification...
