    NOT Dedicated HT, Need help on screen

    You could buy a set of stretcher bars (say 62 x 40) and choose an image you like (favourite high res photo or similar). Then have the image gicle printed onto canvas up to 42" x width of screen and make a large canvas for the wall. Then cut and staple blackout to the back with a black edge trim...

    Completed Tempest

    Um, no I'm not a dentist but remodelling my house has led me towards a more European look (I moved from London last year). and yup there are some construction of the room shots as below but I didn't take any pics of the sub being built. http://homepage.mac.com/wnicholds/SUB/

    Completed Tempest

    Yeah it was going to sit at 90 degrees against the other wall but, but when I saw how big it was in the room I had to go with the "its like a chest to sit on and choose CD's etc story).

    Completed Tempest

    Having completed my Tempest based ported sub I'm very pleased with how it turned out and wanted to share a picture and say thanks for all the help along the way. I used the Creative sound 250 RF plate amp with separate remote and the Tempest in a 175 ltr box using a Dan Wiggins plan. Being my...

    Blanket Box Tempest Disguise

    Kind of an odd question maybe, but whilst mooching around Home Depot today I saw a particularly attractive Shaker style blanket box that is about 1 1/2 inches in all directions bigger than the box I have planned for my 175 ltr ported tempest sub, so I wondered whether anyone had built the sub...

    175 ltr ported Tempest

    pretty comprehensive build diary you have there Patrick! I'm sorely tempted to try a sonotube design to save buying a table saw.

    175 ltr ported Tempest

    Cam, I don'thave a clue about the "anechoic" bit, the first sentence was mine and the rest is what I copied from my internet search; I think it was written buy a chap called Hank? I thought that as it purports to be a DW plan and the spec sounded pretty good and used a flared 4" port and...

    175 ltr ported Tempest

    I am thinking of trying the above Dan Wiggins special and was wondering if there was a plan available or if anyone had tried building one and could comment at all? "For good "tight" sound, a Q of 0.577 is often used. It's maximally flat in terms of phase rotation (group delay). But, for HT...

    plate amp location

    Thanks Ryan, actually you interpreted my description perfectly...I thought something like a 4" gap would be enough for the power lead and LFE feed, plus the very occasional access to phase and the auto on or off switch. The other controls would be on the remote controlled remote plate mounted at...
