    Like my new sub......... (^:

    Yah right, I wish!!!!!!!! BTW, what do you think about Adire's new "Parthenon"??? In a 24" square baffle unit, with a Qts of 0.72 and an Fs of 7 Hz. Flat anechoic response to 6 Hz. And capable of over 66 liters of linear air displacement! That will generate reference level (121 dB...

    2 Questions: .cal file for wm-60 or wm-61 *&* anyone use/hear of DAAS32?

    1: Anyone have a generic calibration file for your home built Panasonic WM-60 or WM-61a mic. Anything will work/be better than looking at the rolloff of one & the rise of my other :frowning: Just want to clean things up a bit. I'll have Kim G. do one once I build a really good looking, worthy...

    WANTED: 12" Sub - car or home.....

    My buddy just blew the sub in his car so we are looking for something cheap for temporary work to go in his sealed box. For that reason pretty much anything will do as long as it's cheap :D . Something like an old Kicker comp, Dayton DVC 12, or SVS original driver would work just fine. Did I...

    WTB: AMP any will do, any condition as long as 1 ch. works

    I need one for testing speakers. Would prefer a mono block (something like a Marantz MA-500 or ???) or something bridgeable would be great but any stereo unit will do. Also If you got a good amp & blew a ch. or one doesn't work now would be the time to unload it. Like I said, only need one ch...

    1585A vs. 1701A vs. 1577A

    1st off it is my understanding that Belden CAT5 cable is made with 24g solid core OFC copper with a Teflon Insulation in a PVC jacket. That being said, the Plenum Flamarrest Jacket is basically just a better/higher spec'ed outer PVC jacket correct? Not that it matters b/c it's going to be sh*t...

    Anyone use the Philips DVD recorder???

    Was looking at the Philips DVD Player/Recorder at Best Buy. Think it was # DVDR985. I love all the features. Easy to record. Lots of plug-ins. I wanted to know 2 things: 1st is how is the quality? I want to record my mint (1 view for each) Star Wars and Indiana Jones VHS tapes to DVD. I also...

    Group Delay questions.......

    When does it become noticeable or a concern? 10m/s, 15m/s, 20m/s??? I wanted to know while I'm still in the design phase. I wasn't concerned at all when I designed my vented Tempest b/c it was strictly for HT. Group delay was ~ 21m/s at low Hz which is why I feel it is a little slow for fast...

    Appliance Epoxy paint woes........... :(

    I usually use just appliance epoxy for my projects b/c it dries the hardest, but at $4.5 a can it gets expensive. This time I decided to use a primer (Kilz odorless interior oil-base) then some cheap black spray paint (walmart $.88 special) for a base coat over the Kilz, then go with a final...

    bypass capacitor..........

    I see this a lot in xovers. They would use an inexpensive (Solen or Axon) cap with an expensive film and foil bypass cap (Audiocap or Hovland). I understand the economics of it being that it saves lots of $ over using just a single large value film & foil cap. But what else? I've got a good idea...

    How much can pollyfill get me away with.......

    I read a great post about it here; Link Removed but still have 2 main questions about pollyfill. 1.It is my understanding that you can make the box "seem" larger that it is by stuffing it. Lets say I have a PORTED box that is 5 cu ft. I need it to be 6.25 cu ft. for optium performance...
