Hi, Haven't been here in a long time! I was going to build a sub for a friend, and copy one I built a while ago. I'm using a first gen SVS 12" driver (very similar to the Shiva) and I had used the Adire white paper for the sub design, basically the mid-sized sealed box design. Adire is...

Hi, Here's a link to a run of 15" IB woofers John is doing with Lambda parts and motors. He's selling them for $199 each, but, if you get 4 or more, they are $99 each! I just finished my IB sub with 4 of the 15" Dayton IB's, wish I had waited around for these!

Hi, I couldn't help it, I hooked my new 4805 up tonight even though I don't have the right cables, and I'm projecting onto a grey paneled wall, so the picture has cool grooves in it. . . Watched regular cable Smallville recorded on my Time Warner DVR, and it seems like the audio/video sync...

Howdy, After trying to keep up with the 250 page thread at AVS about the 4805 and reading up on it here, I was really thinking of getting one, but hadn't seen any modern projector at any resolution in person. Well, then I discovered that AVS is in Rochester, NY, which is where I live, and...

Hi guys, I've built a few speakers now, and I'm getting much better cutting my parts with the table saw, much more square, all the same size, etc. Now I think I can greatly improve glueing up the boxes. I did a sub last night, and while the edges were flush when I glued the...

Hi, I've done a bit of searching, but wanted to know if I could get a another quick opinion. I have a 27" WEGA TV, does 16:9 but not progressive scan, and my Sony DVD just died. I'm probably going to be moving to a front projector in the next 6 months, so I either need to get a really...

Hi, I need a couple cables to finish up my sister-in-law's setup, and need at least a digital coax and sub cable, probably a couple stereo pairs. I don't want to go to BestBuy and buy off the shelf, but I'm not going to have the budget to pay for BetterCables, either. Any...

Hi, I just finished 4 surrounds and a center with the TB W3-871s driver. The mains and surrounds are 2L ported tuned to around 90hz, and the center is around 5L ported also tuned to 90hz, with one driver rolled off per Jim Griffin's recommendation (basically an Elph 1.5 clone). I hooked...

Hi, I'm looking for an original SVS driver in good condition. Will pay $50 shipped. Thanks, Wes Nance Rochester, NY

Hey all, I can't get the search engine to work on HTF, and am thinking about getting an original SVS 12" driver for an inexpensive sub coupled with the new $65 sub amp from PE. Could somebody post the original T/S parameters or approximations for that driver, and/or opinions would it work...

Hi, I'm building a set of 5 small full rangers for my sister-in-law for her HT in her small apartment with the familiar TB W3-871s, in 2 liters or so ported. I would like to build a small sub to match them, both in output and cost. My cost for all 5 speakers is only $100 or so, so I'm...

Hey, I know this woofer is old news to many of you, but I just received my AV12, and I put it in my 85l "Thunder 12.3" cabinet that has 2 15" PR's at about 1400g. I also upgraded my amp to the Rhythmic 350 plate amp with the adjustable boost/rumble filter. I just barely got the woofer to...

Hi! I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, and have upgraded my skills and questions to intermediate level! Anyway, I have a table saw now, and am building another set of SCH KOb50's for surrounds. My cuts are more accurate (not perfect yet, still getting the hang of dialing in the...

Hi, Could I get a suggested box size for a Stryke SAE1204 (very similar to Dayton DVC 12") in a sealed alignment? This sub will be used for music only in a mid size room, but the room has like 20 foot ceilings! It will be blended with Dennis Murphy's MBOW1 design, basically very similar...

Hi- quick question: I'm going to use my current sub stuff (Stryke SAE1204 and PE 250w amp) to build a sealed sub for music only, and plan to reuse the box I have with new drivers. It is a 3ft^3 box with 2 opposing 15" PR's weighted to around 1300 or so, and I can change the weight. So, is...

Does anyone have the physical measurements of an AV12? I'm wondering how much of a direct drop-in replacement it would be for my Stryke SAE1204. I'm most interested in the cutout size, flange depth, etc., and the actual depth of the driver itself. (I have a brace I have to clear if I swap out...

Hi, I have a Stryke Thunder 12.3 sub with the SAE1204 woofer in it, and 2 15" PR's weighted to around 1300g, tuned to around 21hz. My question is- when I built the sub, the only scale I had access to only rounded to the nearest gram. I have 2 opposing PR's on the enclosure. How close do I...

Hi, I was looking at the closeout drivers on BPD 1001 and the BPD 1001 looked pretty interesting for $65. I was looking for a small sub for my main listening room, to mate with a pair of AV-1's or something similar. In Unibox, a sealed box with a Q of .6 looked pretty decent, in a small...

Happy holidays! Santa brought me a new Behringer 1124p for Christmas, and after reading past threads, and also Sonny and Ken's excellent web pages, I went to work. I had good results with 5 filters, but have a couple questions that I don't remember seeing before: 1. Over at DIY forum, the...

Hi everybody- Merry Christmas! I've seen a couple of people ask how the SCH KOB50 bookshelf DIY kit compares to the Paradigm Atom. Since I own Atoms and recently built a pair of the KOB50's, I thought I would post a really quick comparison: My listening room is about 14 x25 or so, with...

Hey everybody, The sub I started in February, put together to enjoy, and then took back apart last week is finally done! I did the veneer last week, and got it in it's final form. I want to give a huge thanks to everybody on this forum that went out of there way to help- Jack, Hank, Brian...

Hi, I did the big piece of veneer on my sub today- sides and top, rounded over the 2 top edges. When I built my sub in the winter, I didn't realize that the way I rounded over would involve bending the veneer against the grain, and it proved to be tough, even over a 3/4" roundover, probably...

I'm in the middle of my first try at veneering, with a subwoofer cabinet. Here's a newbie question, but I need more detail- What are you guys using to apply the contact cement- a brush, a roller? Do you throw it away each time, or try to clean it? I used a brush today, and it seemed to...

Hey guys, I think I remember you both using DeWalt 621 routers. I've had one for a few months, but never mounted my Jasper 200 jig yet. Today I went to do it, and it seems like it sticks out the wrong side of the router. With my previous router, the jig, when properly installed, pointed...

Hi everybody, I was set on building a set of AV1 with an AV1+ for a center to use with my home theater setup. I just moved to a new house with a dedicated HT room in the basement, so I'll have a music system upstairs. I'm wondering if the GR Research stuff might be a bit of overkill...

Hi, I've been going to see the occasional 35mm presentation at the local Imax, as the screen is huge, and the sound system way better than any other local theater, and have really enjoyed The Matrix and Lord of the Rings in widescreen, even though it has the same look as seeing an OAR...

Hi, I've been looking at the new PSI pocket hole jig that's on introductory sale for $69.95, here: PSI Pocket Hole Jig I'm wondering- will I be able to use this on a smaller box, like a bookshelf monitor (AV1) that is around 12x8x7 or something? I'm trying to figure out how I would be...

Hi guys, I'm going to be rounding some edges with a 1/2" shank 3/4" roundover bit (carbide) I have a DeWalt 621 router with variable speed. The cabinet is 3/4" MDF- do I use full speed, or back it down a bit on the router? Thanks, Wes

Just a heads up that Amazon has the refurbished DeWalt 621's back in for around $150. I missed out on the last time, and have been waiting to get one. Down in the coupons/deals forum, there is a code for $10 off a $75 purchase, and it qualifies for free shipping, so total price is $139 to your...

Hi, I'm settling in with my Stryke 1204 PR sub, and am trying to get a handle on the sub's response in my room. It definitely drops below 25hz, and I'm sure it's a result of the 20hz f3 of the stock boost setting on my PE 250w plate amp combined with my room response. I think eventually I'll...
