    Please Help Building Dream theater

    I'd highly recommend a CRT projector if you want the best picture you can get. Look on videogon/ebay for some nice used sets.

    Pioneer DV-563A Review

    Jason, I have the same problem with the Queensryche disc. however, I think it is defaulting to the hi-res, because I am using the 5.1 inputs. Doesnt that mean it is in hi-res dvd-audio?

    Newcastle pre-pro delayed

    Jeff, bummer news, but I'm in no super hurry. But I do have a question about the crossover setup. I read somewhere that it is a global crossover. Does this mean that it has (1) freq crossover point for all channels, or does this mean it has the same frequency point for all sources, or maybe...

    Focal - Center Channel Problem

    I know its not the driver because I had him connect a 7" inch 8 ohm driver as well, and it does the same thing. Anybody have experience with the crossover. The schematic on Zalytron's website is what I used, but I noticed another website www.wmeckle.com he added another 33uf capacitor into the...

    Focal - Center Channel Problem

    I'm in the process of building/helping a friend build the focal Super center channel kit from Zalytron to match some Aria 7 mains and am having some problems with the midrange section of the center channel. When playing the center channel thru a Carver 705x, the center channel seems to be...

    Finally finished by Dual Tumult Infinte Baffle

    Yes, I am talking about the 3 channel version of the 500x. I have two of them, so I had an extra channel, so I thought what the heck. Why not? I appreciate your knowledge on the amps, and it sounds like I need a pro-amp like a QSC. for this application. I know this might sound like foolishness...

    Finally finished by Dual Tumult Infinte Baffle

    Thanks for the quick reply, right now, each driver has the voicecoils in series, then each driver is in parallel for what I thought would be roughly a 2 ohm load. The drivers are clearly visisble (no grate yet)and they are hardly moving. Now with the same load, (vc in parallel and drivers in...

    Finally finished by Dual Tumult Infinte Baffle

    As the title says, I finally finished by IB using (2) of the Tumult drivers. I previously had been using (2) Tempests. I am currently powering them with 1 channel of my Carver 753x. The manual states that it outputs 750 watts into 2ohms. Does this mean that each driver is seeing 750 watts? or is...

    Want to build IB for $600

    Rick, aren't the Dayton drivers, dual 8 ohms like the Tempests? If you have four, you should be able to wire in a series/parallel config to get you a total impedence of 4 ohms. If you buy (4) drivers, I think they are $125 a piece. That is $500 in drivers, and pick up the amp for about $200, and...

    Which receiver/preamp to buy if I'm running all separate amps?

    Might want to weight another month and take a look at the New product comming from Sherwood Newcastle. They're previous pre/pro was highly recommended. It has an MSRP of $1,500 but would guess it will be able to be purchased for less. Just my thoughts.

    Who has actually built Dan Wiggin's 175L Vented Tempest design?

    Sven, I actually built (2) Iso-tempest subs a while back, these are the four drivers my buddy is using now. I used 20 inch sonotube, and bolted both drivers on the bottom end in a clamshell config. I've got this design somewhere at home, but I think it was 3.25 cubic feet, with a 4 inch...

    Who has actually built Dan Wiggin's 175L Vented Tempest design?

    Hank, The stage is actually going to be the box. It is roughly 12 ft wide, 2 ft tall & deep. For IB I think you need like 4 times the VAS. I don't think I have enough space, if I recall the VAS for the Tempest is around 11. That would mean I would need like 176 cubic feet for all four. That...

    Who has actually built Dan Wiggin's 175L Vented Tempest design?

    I am in the process of helping out a friend build his sub for his media room. He has 4 tempest drivers, and the Rhytmik amp. It will be about 70/30 HT/Music. We are building the subs into his front projection stage. I have the ability to build either 4 separate sealed enclosures with about 9...

    Received My Tumults, but need help

    Ok, received my drivers, they were double boxed, and mounted into mdf. My problem is that one of the four mounting screws has been stripped, and I can't get it out. Does anyone have any ideas that I could use. I've waited so long, and now I'm so bummed.

    New 1000 watt class D sub plate amp available!!

    What do you guys think this thing would do if it saw a 2ohm load, such as 2 tumults in a series/parallel configuration. Think it would fry? Or do you think I should patiently wait for John J's new amp from Stryke? Will 200 watts make that big of a difference? His will be 800 watts stable at 2 ohms?

    Tumults? where are the reviews?

    Where are my drivers, is the better question. Per UPS, both of them should be on my front porch when I get home. It turns out my IB plans aren't going to pan out. Wonder how a dual sealed tumult will work, with a QSC 1850HD? We'll see I guess.

    Tumult Subs, Any Good?

    Just got my e-mail. Shipping weight 140 lbs. Should be here Thursday. Does anyone know how much those nice sealed enclosures from acoustic visions cost? Any discounts for buying 2?

    Seth, sounds you we're on the bottom of the back order log, Ugh. Kyle, any idea on when I'll be seeing my two drivers? Will I get an e-mail before they're shipped. Thanks.

    What are some good 3-channel amps?

    I have (2) Carver 753x. 3x250 watts. I am very happy with these. I've seen some on e-bay a while back. I paid $550 a piece new from Onecall when Carver went belly-up. Since then I've seen several sell for around $900 on Ebay. They seem to be very reliable, as I have ran 2 channels into 4 ohms...

    Adire 15" Passive radiators (displacement and massing)

    Seth, Question since you're using two on both sides, why did you choose Adire's 15s versus the Stryke 18s. As I understand it you could get by with 2 Strykes for less money.

    Adire 15" Passive radiators (displacement and massing)

    Seth, A couple more questions if you don't mind. What Q will your enclosure yield? How much power are you going to use, and are you going to be having the tumult down firing? I appreciate your help.
