    290 pounds, two 15" woofers, and 113 dB at 20 Hz

    Hrmmm.... Interesting stuff. Our new sub (using a 12" driver and 12" PR) hit 116db at 30hz at 12+ ft, in a 3.1 cuft enclosure. Two of those are plenty for me :)

    Doh... I misread your earlier response. It's HC, not HCCV. Thanks anyhow.

    FS: Da-lite High Contrast Screen Material

    Are the snaps on the front, or on the back side? Which specific frame do you have? I'm VERY interested.

    FS: Da-lite High Contrast Screen Material

    Do you have a little more information? Is this the HCCV material? 106" at 16:9 or 4:3? Is it just the raw screen material with snaps, or is there a frame? Do you know the overall dimensions from edge to edge?

    Does the shape of the enclosure matter ?

    Actually... I'd say for a subwoofer, it matters more (technically). Standing waves are your enemy, and parallel surfaces (walls of your enclosure) help to create standing waves. The perfect enclosure would have 0 parallel lines. Is this getting extreme? Yes somewhat... but I've definately...

    Faux night sky ceiling - got info?

    To do yourself, or have done? The link above is a service, and they simply paint the ceiling, then put on the glow in the dark pigment paint. I'm leaning toward using the black light paint myself... dont have to worry about the fade out over time. Gonna cost more for the blacklights though.

    Faux night sky ceiling - got info?

    Yes... just a very dark blue, with a spatter for the stars, and maybe even some clouds (say, ~10pm sky). I've looked at those paints you pointed me to also... found a few good suppliers. Almost all of them recommend painted it on a white base color, which i'm not quite sure why.

    Faux night sky ceiling - got info?

    I'm quite familiar with fiber optics, but that's not what I'm referring to either. It's a painting technique alone that I'm looking at.

    Goldberg Reels - Fulls restored!

    I picked up quite a few Goldberg 35mm reels, and decided to fully "restore" many of them. These have been sandblasted and then powder coated in near-chrome. More pictures here. I'm looking for $85 each, discounts for multiples.

    Middle Atlantic In-wall Equipment Rack-Help

    Well, there are other options, but Middle Atlantic is good stuff, lots of offerings, and as good or better pricing as others. SmartHome is also one of the more fair suppliers as far as pricing goes. Yes.. rack stuff is expensive.... That's why many people just do built in shelving instead...

    Middle Atlantic In-wall Equipment Rack-Help

    Well... shelves and storage are about your biggest expense. I don't have many shelves in mine yet, but the SmartHome site has prices on all the shelf and storage options. As far fans, I have 2 fans just like this one. They are loud, but move alot of air, both above and below the fan module...
