    Unique paint finishes

    Hammered paint is super easy. I used it on my flexy and everyone that visits thinks it's awesome looking and very professional. One thing (and this is true of all spray paints, but since you can't sand errors in this one is more important) is not to let your hand linger on any one spot. My only...

    Pics of my completed sub, shiva, ported box

    Looks great! How easy was it working with dowels? I'd like to try that on my next box. Did you buy a special kit for your router?

    IB virgin needs help

    Guys, read the subject line, this man needs help and doesn't need to be spending time in some attic making speakers. IB Virgin - Needs Help. Poor guy, no one has even offered him one shred of relevant information on ways help him out of his present situation. Start with some flowers and a...

    Shiva as a replacement woofer in a 3-way?

    Darryl, Any reason you can't just replace the surround? I watched a friend of mine recently replace a blown surround and it seemed like a pretty simple process and the speaker sounded fine when he finished.

    90 degree angles in PVC?

    This may seem crazy, but I've been thinking about using water to figure out the effect of bends in a port. What about getting a straight port the desired length for a given tuning and then fill it with water. Then you could take a port with the 90 degree angles in it and trim the straight...

    Remote Turn-on for ill-equipped hardware?

    The subject line of this thread is very funny. I was thinking you must be a lot more self-confident than I am to to admit your hardware was ill-equiped.

    Just received Parts Express 250 watt plate amp and...

    Jim, I have this amp and have built a sealed sub with it. I have held a tissue to the amps edges and knobs and never gotten air movement. I didn't think it would be airtight when I saw it either but it apparently is. Sub sounds awesome too.

    Das Boot Uncut -- Is it just me or...

    In Criterion's The Seventh Seal, the subtitles do not appear to be quite as accurate when compared to the English dub. I was forced to watch it with the English dub and then, later, on my own, watched it with subtitles. There were several instances (I can go home and watch it and take notes if...

    Stuff your sub!

    Good point Rudy. Sorry to make generalizations. I guess what I should say is experiment with stuffing if you're having the same problems as I did.

    Stuff your sub!

    [Edit: In my original post I was a little over-exuberant about my performance gains by stuffing my sub. :) I just wanted to edit this to say that despite my gains that each situation is different and you should take into account your room size, box design, driver specs and performance goals to...

    Thanks Kenneth. I don't mind waiting, I just can't wait to see how it ends.

    Anyone having problems with The Vanishing: CC?

    I just got this DVD this weekend and had the same problems as Mark. I exchanged it and there is a problem at the same spot in Chp. 10 on both disks and it freezes in subsequent chapters as well. I tried it on my Sony and my brothers Toshiba and had the exact same problem. Neither of us has...

    Diy Mdf?

    With all the dust I have generated from building my new sub (thank you Jack Gilvey and Hank Frankenberg for all your advice), I was thinking about making some DIY MDF. I was wondering if any of you have ever done this and could offer some advice. I am thinking I can take some wood glue and...

    Anyone have experience with speakerpages bookshelf speaks?

    Gary, it might not be a big problem at really low levels for short listening periods, but remember, neither I nor anyone else on this board is going to be there to pay for any repairs to your unit if it blows up. I probably err on the overcautious side, I just don't want you to mess up your...

    Sony Sub SAW40 modification

    Oscar, I agree, that is a very good deal. I just was in your position and read all the tweaking suggestions on audioreview.com and got my hopes up. I just wanted you to know that it sounds pretty much the same right out of the box so you can get the same enjoyment out of it without taking it...

    Sony Sub SAW40 modification

    I have done the modifications, i.e. remove driver, spray insides with adhesive and stick accoustic foam on all surfaces and installed spiked feet on the bottom. You can order the adhesive, foam and spiked feet from www.partsexpress.com. I will tell you not to expect too much. To my wife...
